Buzz, The House Fly............

Say hello to BUZZ!

Actually he is dressed in his house fly costume all the time. BUZZ loves flying loops, sitting on the ceiling and buzzing songs about flying. BUZZ is a passionate sugar cube collector too. He is approximately 9, 3/4 inches tall.

BUZZ is made out of Patons DK smoothie Yarn and love. For your little fly you can use every yarn you prefer - he’s getting taller or smaller but he’s always really cute!

Love Me Tender XXXXX

INTRODUCING

" ELVIS "

LOVE ME TENDER"

I finished making my Elvis on the 19th March, 2016.

I modified Vlad the vampire bat , by Lydia Tresselt. available from RAVELRY

I wanted to make Elvis, for quite a while now, and I wondered if I could modify Vlad into Elvis ??

OF COURSE I COULD...!!!!

I used the original pattern, and only made one cape, and I didn't need to make him Ears...lol...

Everything you see, I have made,

His Belt, I crocheted the Band, and I then added all of the Gems and chains.......

AND FINALLY......

Elvis would not be complete, without his Guitar.........!!!!!!!!!

I hope you've enjoyed looking at my Hand made Elvis..........
Thank you for taking the time to have a look into my crochet world......!!!!

"THANK YOU"

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH"

please ask me.

thank you...

BUSY, BUSY BUSY....!!!!!!!!

I know I've been absent from here, for quite a while .... I have been rather busy, well I am a Crochetholic..!!!

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I SHALL BEGIN..!!!!

Bina The Bear
I actually finished this Bina , in January 14th, 2016, the yarn was bought for me, by my hubby for Christmas....bless him he feeds my addiction !!,
I thought I would keep this one simple, and just follow Laylala's Original pattern, Bina the Bear...
oh I did add a different scarf, but I promise that's all I did....
As I said, this beautiful yarn, was given to me, and it's called ADRIAFIL DUO PLUS COMFORT... it's not a cheap yarn, but I did enjoy working with it.

February 2016 SHELL BLANKET
This is another Project, that I must start by saying, " it should have been a King Size Afghan", however, I decided to re-decorate my bedroom, and this colour, would't of worked. So I decided to turn it, into a Babies Blanket....
I used Marriner Special Dk, Yarn. in White and Pale Rose.
This Shell design, is a FREE PATTERN, By MYpicot, available on Ravelry.com

February 14th 2016 GOBI The Camel

This is a HeidiBears Design, and I think this is an adorable pattern...
By using Hexagons, Pentagons and other very cleverly made and placed shapes, she has designed some absolutely, stunning designs.
I used Patons, DK Smoothie Yarn, which I must admit, I do split down, because I like to use a 1.75mm hook... I really would recommend her patterns to you all, even if your new to crocheting, she has some brilliant Tutorials, and her patterns are so well illustrated, any one can understand them.. I promise you, Well worth a look..!!!

Micha the Sea Mermaid

I must tell you, I LOVED MAKING THIS ONE !!!!!
I have modified the original pattern: by Lalylala... Mici the mermaid,
only because I wanted to make a Girl.. Iv'e used a mixture of Yarns by Patons, DK Smoothie, and I will admit, She looks quite stunning...
I made the Extra jewellery and her Tiara, and of course her Top..... I also gave her an extra fin, on her Tail.
I do hope you like her.

Marjorie the Mushroom Girl

I have Modified This Pattern to.. The original Pattern By : Lalylala, is Paul The Toadstool....
as you can see, iv'e given her a floppy hat, and flowers on her waist......
I used Patons, DK Smoothie, yarn, which as you can probably guess by now, is my all time favourite yarn to use, along with marriner's yarns, both are fantastic, for this kind of projects.
She is so in love with Paul, the toadstool, she's blushing....
