American Girl Hippy Thread Dress



I started this project for a May birthday present and finally finished it. This is a second pattern found in Maggie Weldon's 18" Doll Hippy Wardrobe Pattern that I have finished.

I love the skirt on this dress. I haven't done much work in thread, but this is beautiful. I tried the sleeves, but preferred the dress without the additional sleeves. The two hippy outfits will be shipping soon as I have to get the May birthday box out soon. I still have another thread dress I started that I need to finish for my Christmas donation. However, right now I am still working on my jungle project that I will be posting about soon.

Easter Duck with Overalls



I meant to get this project posted several weeks ago. Then I got distracted with a jungle mat project that I hope to be writing about soon. This is the second project I made from Crochet Village's Easter Bunnies and Duckies for next Easter. I have a healthy start on next year's Easter toys. This is a great pattern if you are looking for quick fun toys for Easter.

I hope to find time to blog about the jungle pattern soon. The basic pattern is free from Joann's. I am supplementing the pattern with animals from A Zoo For You (Leisure Arts #5152) that I had purchased previously. The animals are a good size fit for the free pattern. I need to finish this project for a June birthday. However, I have some 18" doll projects that need to be finished for a May birthday. Sometimes it is hard to work on what is due instead of what you are most interested in making.

Easter Eggs



I've been working on dishcloths using up some of my cotton stash. In order to finish up the ends of the cotton I have been making some Easter Eggs to put away for next year's Easter box. The dishcloths put me on the postive side after getting yarn in the ami swap last week. I am still working on the Stashbusting CAL at Crochetville. I am finally starting to see some progress.

The pattern is easy and it comes from Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet and it is a great way to use up scraps. There are lots of free patterns out there too.
