The Wonderful Art of Crocheting

Bonjour! Crocheting so much fun and so addicting! Once you start one project, you can't wait to start the next. I, myself, have many projects going on and in mind. I'm going to show off what I've made recently and what I've been working on.
First up is a little bird named Oscar. I made him for my sister and named him after a funny story I made up for him. Here's the link for his pattern: http://bittersweetblog.wordpress.com/2007/02/ Isn't he cute? I'll have to share the story some day...

Next up is a baby blanket that I made for my soon-to-be-born nephew. It is a basic, over-sized Granny Square and the blue yarn is a plush.

It is very soft and it drapes so well! There is a shell border; two blue plush sides and two white sides.

Now, here is a bunch of Cupcake Critters. I made 4 pigs in total (one isn't shown), 2 bears (2 more are on the way), and a monkey (not shown). Here's the link to the pattern: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=46825&highlight=cupcake+critters

I loved making those little critters! Thanks KristieMN!

And, then, here is my own creation, a summer outfit for my Marley Wentworth doll.
A nice reminder to all of us experiencing bad weather, that summer will come!

Oh, and we can't forget this little fairy! My mom and I tested the pattern for a lady from Crochetville named KristieMN (see cupcake critters).

Isn't she sweet? Her given name is Mary Melody, but I wanted to change it. Any suggestions?

Well, those are my most recent projects! I'm also working on a Tetris-inspired Afghan, lavender socks, a cookie purse, star-shaped dishcloths, and a few other things.

Au revoir!
