Items I've Been Working On

These are some of my favorite things I've been working on. I found a cool cupcake pattern on youtube (watched a video to learn how to make it) and this is the result:I didn't like some of the pattern so I tweaked it and put my own twist on some of the cupcake. It can be used as an air-freshener or play food. For the air-freshener you just put some of your favorite scented stuff inside it before you stitch it up. Cailin insists that this one is hers and makes sure it's in her bed at night. Youtube has been wonderful for getting ideas. I can't read patterns so I don't use them.

These slippers remind me so much of GramE and GG (my grandmothers). They are made out of 100% cotton yarn and are soft and not too hot like normal slippers. Plus you can just throw them in the washer. I made up the pattern myself. I looked online at pictures and combined things I liked from several different crocheted slippers I found.
I found another site with hats I love, and they have these little bumps all over them. I again turned to the internet and found out what they're called (popcorn stitch) and got some inspiration from a viewing of a fairly gnarly kids' show. As an aside, drugs are apparently involved in dreaming up children's television these days. Just sayin'. Anyways. After a single episode of Yo Gabba Gabba, I made this hat:
The bumps are totally creepy. It was weird making that hat, but fun.

Ah, one of my bestsellers, the Rainbow Sock Monkey:
That's just a really fun hat. Cailin claimed it of course. She now has many, many hats.
