Tetris Afghan

Some members over at Crochetville are doing a Tetris inspired afghan CAL. (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45794&highlight=tetris)

I decided that this one I had to join in on. Most people are doing 4" granny squares, but I decided to just make a sc graph-ghan instead. I made the graph (3 times) and have started to crochet it. My family actually likes this one too......surprise, surprise, surprise. We were always big Tetris and Dr. Mario junkies. Spent many hours playing those games!

Duckie Easter basket

My daughter has a friend that is nuts about ducks. I had a pattern book from Annie's Attic that had different animal Easter baskets. So, I made her a duckie Easter basket. I'm sure she is going to love it! The pattern called for a crocheted insert, but I cheated and just used felt to cut down on the crochet time involved. Then his poor head kept falling over...he looked dead! I ended up shoving a couple of skewers into the back of his head to help him hold it up. Now he doesn't look so dead anymore.

Black and White Sweet 16 gifts

My daughter's friend is having a Sweet 16 party soon. She has chosen a B&W theme.

My daughter made her some jewelry.

I made:

penguin (not pictured, my DD took it before I got a pic) - crocheted

chapstick holder - crocheted

little keychain purse - crocheted

fuzzy wrist bag - knit

large denim tote bag -sewn

pop top wrist cuffs - crocheted

scrunchie - crocheted

pop top purse - crocheted

When I was at Walmart, I found a b&w bath scrubber that I had to get to finish it off.

Teepee

My 7 yo son has been studying Pioneers lately. His class project for this was to make a dwelling. He was chosen to make a teepee. We used to have a "leather" chair that was handed down to us. We had no need for it and no one else wanted it so....it went out to the curb. Being a craft supply horder~~~~~I cut the leather off the chair and saved it for a later project. My family laughs at me and calls me a packrat (inhereted that gene from Grandma) but it came in handy for this project! I turned the "leather" inside out cuz it had just the right color and texture for a teepee. I hot glued skewers for the poles and my son decorated the outside. We used a global priority box as the foundation and used a spray glue to hold down the grass. Then we just hot glued a few Indians on. It went over very well with the class. YEA!!!!
