Little Ducky and some toadstools for tiny feet

Made another amigurumi, a little ducky this time.  He's so darn cute.  Will be going to the Farmers Market with me on Sunday.  Also finished a pair of baby shoes made from recycled sweaters.  I needle felted the little toadstools with Merino sheep's fleece.  This pair is for a newborn.  I have another pair which looks pretty much the same for a baby that's 6+ months old.  I need for finish sewing on the velcro straps before I can list them.  These two items will get listed in my BitsOfFiber shop in the next couple of days.

Not just for Mothers day

A treasury I made with some of my favorite colors!

New items

Listing a couple more items I had made while in Belgium.  The owl and the baby bonnet are already listed in my BitsOfFiber shop.  The shawl is made out of a beautiful linen yarn so perfect for the warmer seasons.  It's a nice and open pattern but will still provide you with warmth during winter when worn bunched together around the neck.  Will be listing the scarf later today in my PurplePlatypus shop.  I'm working on another shawl similar to this one but in a mohair mix blue yarn.  I'm crocheting it with a very large hook so it will be nice and airy, almost cobweb like.





Itty bitty little things

I love itty bitty little things so I made a treasury of some darling little things you can find on Etsy.  There are tons more to find but these are some of my favorite ones.  

Enjoy visiting the stores were you will find more beautiful itty bitty little things!

Shoes are optional!

Trying to get back into the swing of things!  I've always loved making beautiful treasuries so I just had to make one this morning before going to work.  Wish I was going to the beach instead of work but oh well, dreaming is allowed and like I said "Shoes are optional!"  Enjoy.

Amigurumi Ballerina Bear and a petite pink pixie hat

Like I mentioned before ... I'm hooked on amigurumi for the moment.  I finished this little ballerina bear.  My aunt gave me a book of amigurumi animals and one of the patterns was for a little bear wearing a dress.  I just didn't care for the dress they put her in so I made up my own.  When I finished the little dress on her she looked like a ballerina to me so I gave her little ballerina slippers and a flower on her head and voila ... my little amigurumi ballerina bear.  She's for sale in my BitsOfFiber shop.  If you click on this link you will get to her fast:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/98967896/amigurumi-ballerina-bear-crocheted-bear




This little pink pixie hat I made while I was visiting my mom last month.  It's an itty bitty little think.  Perfect for a very small preemie, a doll or a stuffed animal.  I love the pink, it's a very soft cotton mix yarn.  It's not listed in my shop yet, probably later this week.  I made a second one like this, but a size bigger and should fit a newborn.  Same color, didn't put the ribbon in it yet. Both of them will be going up for sale in my shop in the next week or so.
