A Little Bitty Girl Bear! (easy knit)

Hey there! 

I hope you are having a great week! 

Just thought I would share with you my little bitty

girl bear that I made. I made a little boy version

previously. You can see that here.

I took some along-the-way pictures so you can see how 

I figured it out. It is just a garter stitch with increases, 

decreases, cast on and cast off maneuvers.

I can't really read a knitting or a crochet pattern. 

So it has to be a pretty simple concept for me to get thru it.

As you can see, it is just one piece. 

I knit one side and then when I get to the top of the head, 

I just start the whole thing in reverse.

I'm so happy she turned out. My daughter

wants to give her to one of her friends for 

a shower gift.

Isn't she cute? 

I stood her up next to a coffee cup so you can

see how tall she is.

I mean, look at that face!

One Last Homemade Christmas Gift.....

A scrap of this.... a bit of that....

There's still time....

One last gift. 

Easy instructions are right here.

I have to say that the two ladies that I shared these with, LOVED them.

I think I'm going to have to make some for myself! 

Merry Christmas!

Let's Play Miscellaneous Catch-up!

Hey Everyone, 

Do you ever have one of those posts that you just have some stuff to say... 

It isn't important...

Just things that you are behind on mentioning. 

Well this is that post!

 Several weeks ago I got to go to a sweet friend's birthday party. 

Now, she is one of the most creative people I have ever met! 

No seriously!

So I wanted to make her something fun, smart and different. 

Just like her! 

This is what I came up with.

 Needless to say, being the kind person she is,  the next time I saw her, she had it

on. And it really looked great darling on her. 

 We were chatting and she said that I should make a few and put them on Etsy. 

Then my daughter said " I told you mom! Those are really cute!" 

And of course my husband who is always encourageing me said 

"they are right! Just try it!" 

 So! I did!

 

 I also have some of these on there. 

I think they would be darling on Christmas packages.

There are also some things that you can custom order as well.

Let me know what you think, please.

And finally...

Here are the Colors of the Week. 

I got a little behind.

SO!

That's that!

Have a great week! 

Lil' Boo Bear!

Warning! I'm tickeled with this little project! 

I seriously can't believe I actually designed something.... 

Okay... "Design" is a loose term.

I had the privilege of being invited to baby shower for a sweet little baby boy last Saturday. 

I wanted to make a sweet, very soft, but tough and squishy little bear that could survive 

a little boy.

I think I met my goal. 

I could not find a pattern that I liked but that was simple enough for even me. 

So I looked at everything I could find and came up with this lil guy. 

I hope I recorded all of my steps accurately... I really want to make a Lil' Pink Bear.

One of the other things that the hostess did, that I think was so smart, was that we were to bring 

a book instead of a card! Isn't that cute?

Well, I thought to so. 

I sent my hubs out to pick the perfect book for a little boy and this is what he came

home with. 

Perfect!

 

Well, that is it for now.
We are getting all of the Fall decor out and preparing to celebrate

our family September Birthdays.

How do you feel about:

Loaded Potato Soup

Wilted Spinach Salad

Meatloaf

Fresh Green Beans

and for dessert? 

Salted Caramel Brownies
(oh my)

As a side note: I would be thrilled if you took a look at my little etsy shop!
There are some great gift ideas and also some custom order items.
