Spring Fling

I keep trying real hard to coax Spring weather

into my little corner of the world.

Everything I make looks like I'm on a 

definite Spring Fling!

When I saw this sweet crocheted amigurumi hat pincushion

in the latest Simply Crochet issue I knew I would have to 

give it a go :-)

Isn't it too darn cute?!!

Even its backside is pretty.

And it's nice for those of us who play with 

yarn because it holds anything

from regular pins and needles

to darning needles.

Of course I have also had my hands in a few 

more Springtime baby hats...

First a Flop Eared Bunny of my own design.

Flaunting a fluffy tail :-)

And a precious wee lamb hat.

I tweaked the original pattern here and there but only a very little.

The pattern was written by 

Becky Dossey

I actually purchased it from Craftsy.

I have been like a chicken

{notice I didn't say "Spring chicken"}

without a head lately

with so much yarn flying left and right.

I've been working at stocking my Etsy Shop,

taking care of some local orders,

teaching more knitting and crochet lessons 

than I usually do this time of year

plus....

getting ready for 

babies.

As it turns out 

Both

of my daughters are expecting them!!! 

Woo ~ Hoo !!! :-)))

Also, my sister is going to be Grammy for the first time.

In May I will have a grandson, 

in August my sister will have a grandbaby

& 

in September I will have another grandbaby.

We are still waiting to find out what the other two babes are.

I will get back to you as soon as I know.

After this never ending Winter

it's sure going to be a 

glorious Spring & Summer around here :-)))

Bunnies Make Me Smile

What is it about

Bunnies?!

Or even just things made to look like bunnies...

with bunny ears

&

bunny tails.

They're just so 

cotton pickin' cute!

I have been working hard on my Etsy Shop.

Some of the bunnies have hopped on

and a few have already hopped off :-)

Here is a little 

Bunny Parade...

The first 3 are Pocket Bunnies.

The next few are Bunny Egg Cozies.

I did this little fella for myself in a crochet pattern

I had never tried before.

{As I am allergic to chocolate I figured this is a good way to sneak a bit of it in}

While I think he's cute,

I prefer the Debbie Bliss knitted version.

The only thing I change about the pattern is I convert it to 

knitting in the round.

I really don't see any reason to knit them 

flat and seam them

when it's so much quicker and easier

to do them up on double pointed needles.

I hope you have enjoyed this early 

Springtime Parade

because

that's

The End
