New Crochet Pattern: Coffee and Donuts

Here is a sneak peek of a pattern that will be available in my shop either later today or tomorrow morning. It includes instructions for a coffee cup with a removable lid and drink sleeve and 3 donuts.

Whew! I have been so busy lately finishing all of the projects that I put on hold when I was crazy busy at my day job. I think I'm almost caught up :)

Pattern Update: Lunch Play Set

Lately I have been revising some of my previous patterns and improving them. For the lunch play set pattern, I made the sandwich a little smaller and redesigned the milk carton. If you previously purchased this pattern from my shop and want the updated pattern for free, just send me a convo through Etsy. And if you could please reference in your convo the date you purchased the lunch play set pattern that would help me find it in my records. Thank you :)

Wow Wow Wubbzy!

Here are some more characters from one of my sons' favorite shows on Nick Jr. -- Wow Wow Wubbzy. The pattern is by Leisure Arts and you can find it at your local craft store (such as Hobby Lobby) or on-line.

If you are going to buy this pattern be forewarned that the suggested yarn was difficult for me to find. I couldn't find it at Hobby Lobby, Michaels or JoAnns. I ended up ordering the yellow, pink and purple yarn online at Roberts Crafts. I have to say that the shipping for 5 skeins of yarn was a little ridiculous, but I knew that if I used the yellow, pink and purple yarn that I could find locally that I wouldn't be happy with the finished product. And another tip: you will probably need 3 skeins of yellow to finish Wubbzy rather than the 2 skeins they recommend. I did, and I got to pay shipping for another skein of yarn. Oh well, my sons love the finished dolls so I guess it was worth it :)

As I don't usually make dolls, I enjoyed the challenge that these patterns presented. And I learned some new techniques in the process.
