Pumpkin Doll

A co-worker saw the sweet pea doll and fell in love.  She made a special request for a dark skin doll as a gift for her first grand baby.  How can I say no?

Sweet Pea Doll

A colleague asked for this doll for his 5 years old daughter.

Basket for a puppy

A colleague adopted a 5 weeks old Yorkshire Terrier puppy.  I helped to make a dog bed for this little cutie.

I found a basket ,sewed and lined it with comfy bedding, also made the small blue blanket.  

It is like a nest for the puppy, keeping it safe and warm.

A spider web needs to have a spider...

Lil Lindsey Daoll

I came across a little doll and simply cannot resist buying the pattern and knitting it.

Here is my finished doll - Lil Lindsey, named after a colleague who is blond with blue eyes.

Lil Lindsey has the cutest butt cheeks.

Bob Gnome

I made some gnomes few years ago. 

Colleagues in work saw them and all said how cute they were.

Years later, one of these colleagues still asks for one...I don't have the heart to say no anymore.  So here is my 6th gnome - Bob, named after her husband. She wanted her gnome in green.

You can find the pattern on Alan Dart's UK website, listed on the side bar here.

A little Elf

My first project - A Fire Ant

I started a little project before Christmas just for fun.

I used floral wire gauge 20 to shape the legs.

My first finished project in the New Year.

2014 is going to be a year of dolls and toys for me I think.

Cat Bookmark

I work with quite a few animal lovers. One of them is crazy about her cats. She lost one recently in a very sad accident. I made a little gift for this co-worker in memory of her cat.

I gathered some scrape yarns in the color of her pet and started knitting in the rounds.Glued a small piece of felt to the face as the outline before I embroidered the nose.
Add the ears, eyes and mouth...and a cute cat bookmark appears.
Marking the page of a book.
I hope she likes it.
