Leprechaun Toilet Paper Topper

I have been in holiday crochet mode and finally decided to make something for our house. I saw the holiday toilet paper toppers at Crochet Village while shopping for My Silly Valentine and decided to purchase Tweedle Dee Leprechaun TP Topper and two others I will hopefully complete and blog about later.

This guy worked up quickly and the surprised me. I though the beard that would be the challenge. It used a loop stitch I was not familiar with and I was working on it while trying to help someone brainstorm some project ideas. Not the best time for a learning experience. The beard actually worked out fine. In fact, the only challenge I found were the feet. For some reason I struggled to understand the directions for the feet, so I reworked the directions for one of her other pieces and made it work.

I used Caron One Pounder and Red Heart Super Saver and some Wintuck I picked up at a Church sale. It has been wonderful to complete projects from my stash.

Valentine Heart Crochet Cookies

As promised I finished the Valentine Cookies from Crochet Village's My Silly Valentine Patterns last week and I posted them today. The pattern worked up quickly. It allows for lots of individualization in terms of frosting color and decorations. I went for simple and basic, as I need the box to be ready to mail this week.

This is a great stash busting project for those little balls of yarn you have around. I used up Caron One Pounder and Red Heart Super Saver yarn.

These cookies are being added to play kitchen food I have sent along on other occasions. I thought holiday cookies might add some fun to the play food options.

Hugging Hearts

Hugging Hearts is the second project from Crochet Village's My Silly Valentine Patterns I finished. As I mentioned in the Crochet Chocolate Kiss post, I purchased this set shortly after Christmas to have some new items to make for the Valentine's box I am sending out. This couple was a perfect match.

The heart pair worked up quickly using scraps of Caron One Pounder and Red Heart Super Saver yarn. These would be cute for a bridal shower, too.

My last task before the box is ready is to make the crochet cookies from the pattern.
