Crocheted Ornaments

Tis the season and I am so behind the times. I’m just now thinking about crocheting some ornaments. Then low and behold, into my email floated the latest Lion Brand Yarn newsletter and what should I find there but a cool ornament to crochet. I don’t have the sparkly yarn, but I’m sure I’ll find something cool to crochet with in my stash. I might add a bid of beading to this ornament instead of sparkly yarn. Or perhaps some vintage sequins…

Click on the pic to be whisked to the Lion Brand Yarn pattern, but remember, you have to sign up on the site in order to view and/or download the pattern. It only takes a minute and it is so worth it, they have tons of free patterns there. Happy crocheting.

My latest crocheted critter. He’s ready for winter. Are you? I’m not.

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous here in Dallas. Too nice to work. Unfortunately, I’ve been working. How about you?

My latest custom critter creation meets his match. Photo courtesy of Pepe’s mom. Aren’t they adorable? Pepe’s mom tells me that she bought a collar for Crochet Pepe that matches real Pepe’s. How fun. I love creating custom critters.

This cool book of fantastic recycled art and more will be available at bookstores November 1. Amazon has it now. There’s a section near the back called “Art, Interiors + Installations” and on pages 292-293, you’ll find three photos of my hallway of postcards. Google books has a searchable version of the book and this is the link to my pages. Here’s a sneak peak:
