Vader Slippers

In the spirit of the recent release of The Force Awakens (and because my brother wanted them...), I made these Darth Vader slippers using the pattern from http://ummeyusuf.blogspot.com/2008/03/crocheted-moccasin.html. There were some really cool tribal ones here too! http://justbcrafty.com/2014/01/crochet-tribal-moccasin-tutorial.html

Merida

I couldn't find a good, cute Disney princess pattern I liked on the internet, especially for Merida from Brave. So, being the decently experienced amateur overachiever I am, I came up with my own. If you want to try it, I have the pattern for the head and body, but I am working on the hair and dress.

Grumpy Cat

Here's a 1.5' tall Grumpy Cat (or Tardar Sauce) I made for my aunt, because she's into this type of thing.

Classic Dolls

Just a fun little experiment...

I made this doll 'cause I was on a doll hype the other day, but I ran out of my skin colored yarn and so she has a weird tan line. I also used a safety pin as a little bobby pin for her hair. Who knew?

Elsa Topsy-Turvy Doll

I made this Frozen Elsa Transformable doll for my aunt's goddaughter. She is turning three and LOVES Elsa. I scoured the internet for a cute pattern that existed and was out there. The best one I found was actually sold to Disney, so I couldn't access it.

I found the second best one at irkachan.blogspot.com.es. It had a few drawbacks, though, because it was in Spanish, but it worked out in the end.

I included my own little additions, so it's totally unique!

Paint Pots

Terracotta flower pots in the house or on the porch are a perfect opportunity to share your amazing personality. I took one, painted it and Mod Podged the outside. I love the mix between soft, bold, and earthy colors.

Mini Cupcakes

My mom got a new mini cupcake tray, and so I tried it out today. I made Strawberry Cheesecake (mini!) Cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I didn't think that there was a ton of batter, but I ended up with 48 cupcakes.
