Theodore the Teddy Bear

I am working on this pattern for my best friend Romelie. (I will post this Rome after you have seen your gift.)  I wanted to make her a teddy bear and her favorite color is purple.  I didn’t have to go far to find a pattern. One of my favorite crochet book series is “Zoomigurumi“. … Continue reading Theodore the Teddy Bear

Family Christmas Layout (from way back when)

Christmas 2009 has finally arrived….a little more than 6 years later.  I am not sure how most of you scrapbook, but I usually work on whatever photos appeal to me at the time.  I am working on these older photos because I am so far behind.  I usually like to work with more recent photos… Continue reading Family Christmas Layout (from way back when)

Avenger Blanket – Completed Blanket (10 of 10)

Here are a few photos of the blanket being put together. Once I finished all 9 of the squares, I did a SC around each of them in their own background color. Then I did a black trim around each of the squares in DC. Then with black yarn I did a sort of mattress… Continue reading Avenger Blanket – Completed Blanket (10 of 10)

Avenger Blanket – Loki (8 of 10)

I made the Loki square using Impeccable & Vanna yarn from Michael’s.  I think this square had the least amount of color changes.  I am very happy with the blue that I picked out for the background.  I almost went with a lighter color, but I don’t think it would have turned out as well. … Continue reading Avenger Blanket – Loki (8 of 10)

Avenger Blanket – Hawkeye (7 of 10)

Lucky number 7 is Hawkeye.  He has been the easiest and quickest square to make so far.  It took a little time to get his bow right, but basically an easy square to make. I began the corner using Impeccable Yarn in cherry.  This is a nice shade of red that is close to the… Continue reading Avenger Blanket – Hawkeye (7 of 10)

Avenger Blanket – Captain America (6 of10)

  I chose Captain America for my 6th block to make.  Captain America is one of my favorite characters in the Marvel series.  In this block, I really liked how the Fern Green color I used really popped.  I used both Impeccable and Vanna Yarn for this block.  If you want to see my blanket… Continue reading Avenger Blanket – Captain America (6 of10)

The purple color wasn’t as bad to work with… Continue reading Avenger Blanket – Nick Fury (5 of 10)
