crochet, crochet, crochet

It seems like I"ve crocheted all week!
I made (designed) shoes for Amber bear, she's so much fun to crochet for.
I designed a baby sweater for my new Grandson coming in May. I found alot of baby sweaters online, alot of were nice, but I wanted a small sweater, done in regular ww yarn and a quick pattern. so I designed my own.
Also made a 4 piece outfit for the Big Bratz Baby doll.
Now she's wearing a dress, shoes, cape and hat.
And Blythe got some hats.
Hope I have time to take pictures tomorrow.

Amber the Bear

This is Amber the Bear. We rescued her from a thrift shop. She's a pretty, BAB bear. She came dressed in a cute outfit, but needed a bath. Originally I bought her for myself, to use as a sewing helper and model for when I do craft shows at christmas time; but my daughter had other plans for her. I knew once she named her, that was it!!
Lucky for me, Amber needs things, and I love to make things. I've been busy crocheting for her. So far she has some accessories and today I've figutred out how to make mary jane shoes and clog-like shoes and will have pictures of those soon.

Keep watching for Amber adventures, I think this little bear has a busy and bright future ahead of her!!

the weather, crocheting socks and Amber Bear!

Our weather is so weird, it rained so hard today and the wind was wild. When did April stop being April????

I joined a sock CAL on Crochetville. I've always wanted to crochet socks. My daughter joined it too, she's alot more ambitious about it than I am, so she'll keep reminding me to finish the socks!lol

Amber the Bear, uh, I think I'll give her her own paragraph.....................

Well, here I am, blogging. We're waiting for a major storm, thank goodness we don't need electricity to crochet--I've been known to crochet by candlelight. I'm working on christmas gifts and will have pictures soon!
