Mocha you will be missed.

We had to put one of our oldest dogs down a couple of weeks ago and I finally got up to doing her Memorial photo for the hallway. In my hallway I have a gallery of my past pets this gives me closure for the lost of a dear pet.My Mocha was a chihuahua/mini-pinscher she was was very fiesty, loyal and loved to chase bunnies and birds. She always liked it when I was able to take a nap and she would lay beside me. When I crocheted or knitted she loved to lay on my project and nap so I had to move her everytime I needed to start a new row. Now her photo is on the wall with the four others and I hope she is at the Rainbow Bridge barking and playing with them once again.

Alice's wrist warmers

I found this pattern of Alice from the popular movie Twilight wearing these cute wrist warmers. It was on Craftzine.com. I made my set using size 9 circular knitting needles. I go to a knitting meet-up and a lady showed me how to make the magic loop so I wouldn't have to use double pointed needles which this pattern called for.I used Eco yarn color Plums and I made mine a little slimmer since my wrists are smaller then most. I chose the colors because I thought I could wear them with brown, gray, black or plum colored sweaters. I am sure they will be a hit this winter since New Moon will be coming out 11-20-09 can't wait to see the movie!

I love the color Green!

A friend asked me if I would make her special friend a baby blanket for her son. It will be a Christmas present. His bedroom is the Jungle so I made it using the colors of jungle leaves (red heart yarn) and sewed with thread a Monkey patch (Joann's etc.) I really like the way it came out with the crochet stitch Puffy. Hope he likes it!

Dia de los Muertos Monitos

I saw these adorable little felt skeleton people in a magazine. So I decided to make a few. They were easy, fun, and relaxing to make. I didn't make them exactly the same but I hope I did justice on them Jeane! Thanks for the idea.

Move over Zelda!

Look what Daddy did for the 4 legged children!

He got some fake pumpkins from Michael's and a light with cord from Home Depot and carved these pumkins for our Bulldog and Chihuahuas. It took a while but I think they came out great! Since they are fake we can put them out year after year!We got the free downloadable patterns at bhg.com (Better Homes and Gardens)
