Tools of the Trade - Crochet Hooks Available on Zibbet!

Check out my crochet hook section at YarnPal on Zibbet!  There are multiples of most products available - you can get better deals when you buy more than one item and save with my combined shipping rates.  I'm just getting started with adding tools to my inventory - I plan to expand this section.  I also have bamboo knitting needles coming soon!

My Latest Passion - Crochet Stuffed Animals

I've been away from the blogging again for a while.  Sometimes I'm not inspired to say much, while other times i can run my mouth on and on about nothing.  I've been very busy lately, but I'm spending much of my free time making little stuffed cats and other animals.  I've been wanting to get into making amigurumi dolls and animals...the following aren't true amigurumi because I have been joining my rounds at the back, but they are my own designs...





I'm in the process of trying to perfect my cat ears.  I'm enjoying making these little creatures - they're quick projects and that's what I like...plus, I'm using up a lot of spare/leftover yarn that I've been collecting over the years...

I Want To Follow You Back!

I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get back to blogging...I've been dealing with a very sick kitty for the last few weeks, I'm trying to sell a piece of land we've had on the market for a while now, and I have dentist appointments all the time these days!  Looks like I might need a root canal!

I have to keep this short because with the few moments I have, I want to attempt to crochet an amigurumi!  I found free patterns for a snowman, a Santa, an angel and one other thing...all Christmas ornaments.  I'll practice with these little guys and will give the good ones out as gift-toppers this year!

Anyway, if you're following my blog and I'm not following you back, please leave me the link to your blog - I can't get to all blogs by clicking on the profile pics (an ongoing problem for me).

Thanks and have a nice night!
