My daughter asked me to make her a teddy bear, and so of course I obliged. He does come with a little yellow raincoat that I haven’t completed yet, but I will hopefully get back to it next week. I’m not the best at crochet, but it was fun putting him together, and she seems to really enjoy him.
I’m experimenting this year with parfait yarn and making plushies, in crochet. Here’s my very first one that I made back in January – a chicken named Mabel.
I have some unofficial goals that I’m attempting for 2024, and I thought I’d put them out here so they’re ‘in the world’ for a bit of accountability. They’re not enormous, but I hope it will help further my artistic endevours, especially on days I just don’t feel like it.
As far as creativity goes, those are the goals I hope to achieve. I’ve left them broad and open ended on purpose, with no real direction given in the hopes that I will naturally stumble into activities that complete them over time. We’ll just have to see! What about you, have you set up your creative goals for 2024 yet?
I bought myself some linen to cross stitch with for a future project, having never used it before. I know some people don’t like the unevenness of the material, but I think the rustic look is nice, and I think I have the perfect pattern for it (an Alice in Wonderland inspired gradient pattern). Along with it, I bought some floss that I needed for future projects. I can’t wait to get started!
I’m thinking I need to try to crochet a few of these guys with some scraps! The pattern is currently free and found here. Enjoy!
