Amigurumi 💕
Usually I find a cute pattern, crochet it, hand it to Lottie then never see it again. I found these when organising her toy chest and was hit with the instant urge to make all of the things! The macaroon is my own pattern, strawberry and cupcake from HappyBerryCrochet and the star was a mix of a Pinterest pattern and my own improvising. Amigurumi is … Continue reading Amigurumi 💕

I used HappyBerry Crochet’s wonderful pattern to create this strawberry – – which was such a hit I’m going … Continue reading Bumblebees for Spring!
Star Baby Afghan
I’ve been wanting to try this pattern for a while and now that I’ve gotten into it I don’t know what intimidated me so much about it! I followed The Crochet Crowd‘s fantastic pattern and it’s coming together quick. Little Lottie thinks I’m making her a snowflake so I’ll keep going in alternate blues in DC then add a white SC & scalloped edge. My … Continue reading Star Baby Afghan
