Alligator / Crocodile Crochet Applique

You may call it as you like, a crocodile, or an alligator. I'm not sure that I have enough talent to make distinguishing marks to make it one or the other.

My original drawing was a crocodile with that long, but I'm not so sure the thread reflects that long V-shaped snout.

Dinosaur Pattern

Baby Tyrannosaurus Rex Crochet Applique Pattern

Monday April 23, 2012 Dollar Day Download

This Monday I will be offering the tractor applique pattern for only $1.00 on etsy.  If interested, you can follow this link to my etsy shop.

If you wondering if I'm currently working on new patterns, I actually am!  It's not always easy to vision something and to make the right shape out of nothing but thread. Pattern makers are super talented people.  It's a little bit of art, math, and science all thrown into one project. Sometimes you just never know if you're doing the right thing. Is it pretty or ugly?
People always say, keep adding details. But when you're working with anywhere from 2 to 5 inches, how much detail can you cram into a small space?

Someone recently contacted me about making an alligator applique. It's been something that I've wanted to come up with for awhile now. I tried to explain to them that sometimes the creation process isn't that easy. I still haven't managed how to work this one out, but I have managed to work a dinosaur into my list of completed patterns. So I should be posting that sometime in the very near future.

Monday Dollar Day Download 4-16-2012

I had to change purses and my camera fell out of my current bag that I'm using. Luckily one of my family members found it and I should get it back today. I'm a complete photo person, love it, and couldn't picture myself without my cameras.

It's been a non creative week for me, so I guess it's ok that I don't have my camera. Anyway, I present to you monday's dollar day download:

The Paradise Bird

Just follow the link, and on April 16, 2012 you can purchase this pattern for $1.00

Once these patterns are a Monday dollar download once, they will never be a Monday dollar day download ever again. So this is a one chance opportunity for you, and for me to get my patterns out into the world of crochet.

Since I'm non creative this week, I've decided to go back to the days of the granny square.

Fred the Fish

Fred is someone who reminds me of a character from the movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Although he's probably missing a hat and cane.

Three Little Tractors

Another custom order complete. 

Before I was always pretty open to custom orders. But for right now I think I'm going to decline any, at least for the summer.
