THOUGHT BUBBLE HAT


remember the thought bubble blanket? well i decided to make it into a hat! you can get your own here!

MORE MONKEY



remember this monkey? i made it for my best friend 2 years ago and she loved it! recently she took a picture of it and posted it online. i love her for that, among other things.

MOUSEY





so after i made the tanooki for my friend, i realized how easy it was to make ears! and so i decided to whip up a few more for fun. here's me and my friend samantha in ours. and you can get one of your own, too!

TANOOKI!




the tanooki suit is really popular thanks to the fact that it's been re-introduced into the Super Mario 3D game this season! which is awesome for me because my friend called and asked if she could get one made. doesnt she look cute? there's a pic of me too, by the way! you can buy yours here!

JORDYN SKY




another heart blanket! i love making this style. you can get one of your own here!

ISABELLE



my friends are teachers (actually, they taught me in high school), and they have an adorable 2 year old named isabelle. i was asked to make her a blanket for her, and i decided that it was as good a time ass any to teach her shapes and colors!

JAELYN




my cousin had me make this for his girlfriend. i feel like this is the most recognizable image in basketball and i loved making it!

ELENA CHASE



baby blanket for the newborn of my cousin's coworker, who happens to be an AKA!

ANGRY BIRDS!!!




im kind of obsessed with this game. and so is my friend Shanna's boyfriend Lino. look at that face!

CLEVELAND BROWNS



my best friend asked me to make this for her friend's father. when she asked me to do it, she was hoping to get it to him quickly as he had cancer and unfortunately fading quickly. also unfortunately, by the time i was done (it took me a 3 day weekend), he had already passed. the blanket is heading to his daughter, as a tribute to their family. the colors are based on his favorite team, the cleveland browns, and the helmets and footballs represent the parents and children.

CHARLES



my friend charles's mom loves rhinoceri. im not sure why, maybe it's their great sense of smell? or their inherent power? regardless, she loves them, and while she was in the hospital he had me make this for her. my first scarf of the season! simple but cool.

LYSETTE

so as we all know i went to Capetown, South Africa in the spring. i met, among many others there, a a 13 year old named Lysette who asked me to be her penpal! i have been sponsoring and writing to her for the past 6 months, and she's such a lovely little girl. south african Christmas, is of course, in the summer, so the director of Camp Sonshine Africa decided that the kids should have a wintery christmas in july. you ccan see the pictures, and donate to camp sonshine here. anyway, i sent her a home made hat, and it looks just like one i made for myself too. she wore it ice skating and showed off for the camera! how adorable is she?

SUNFLOWER

so i became really intrigued with this crochet by numbers site a few months ago. i decided i really wanted to do it. my first attempt was the One Piece blanket i did about a month ago, and this is my second! i posted the pattern i used to make it as a comparison. FYI: i had to write out the pattern and it took me an hour and a half to do each color row by row. but the results were well worth it, no?


LINDA

My aunt, one of the few that lives here in Georgia, got me to make this awesome pillow for her. she loved it so much she hopped a little and then asked me to make her 2 more! i love how simple yet elegant it is. im getting better at letters!

ONE PIECE BLANKET

i made this for my best friend brefontaine for his birthday. he's kinda stoked about it. i was supposed to make him a Luffy Amigurumi, but it came out all floppy headed. luckily he really liked this. whew! so i decided that i would sell another one on Etsy!

DHARMA INITIATIVE BLANKET

so, yeah, im a "LOST" fan, if this wasnt already an indication. this one is, of course, the Dharma symbol that was everywhere on that island. i hope to complete the set of Lost items and make one that says "LOST." hmmmm....

but this one is on sale, here!

LADYBUG PICNIC

my friend angel, who i have known since we were 12 (omg), is pregnant. she is referring to her lil one as her "ladybug." so this is what i created for her. it was really fun to do, and i'm really excited for her.



TRUE BLOOD

this kinda speaks for itself, if you're a true blood fan. Lafayette is the man! this phrase was my ringtone for a short time. it's not for sale yet, and i dont think i'm finished... stay tuned!


THOUGHT BUBBLE BLANKIE

my immediate thought with this blanket was to have some really interesting phrases inside, and thankfully, when i put it up for sale, my dear friend sam had the same idea and snatched it up almost immediately! as you can see, she put it to good use too! note the "Zzz" on the hers that's not on the original.




HEXAGRANNY

after the granny heart, i was still in a granny square mood, so i put a little twist on it. i picked 4 colors at random and got to work. and wouldnt you know, it came out really cool!
