Viking Man!

So I wanted to make something really cool for my husband. I looked around at patterns and stuff and finally found a really awesome viking hat pattern I liked (I'll link to it at the bottom of the post). I also found pictures of beards and I really wanted to make him a cool viking or dwarf beard to go with it but couldn't find any patterns I liked so of course I had to make my own. Let me tell you, making a beard is fast and easy, making a hairy beard takes FOREVER! But I persevered and finally finished!
I havn't done a pattern for the beard yet, but if there is enough interest in it I'll try to remember how I did it lol.
If you like the hat you can find the pattern on Etsy HERE.

Really proud of how my nieces hat came out although Dratini's mouth is a little crooked, I think it gives him character!

Mohawk!

I've been trying to be fair with family and get something made for everyone! So my brother - in - law who lives in Colorado is a manly man! With the help of my sister I finally decided to make him a mohawk hat! It turned out GREAT!!! I cannot share the pattern with you, but I can link you to the etsy store that sells the pattern which is also a GREAT base for earflap hats!

Lazy Sunday! (Kitty Cozy Bed)

Well I was going to come up with this awesome pattern for a small animal den for guinnea pigs etc, but laziness has won out on me after finishing my amazing Reese's Cappuccino! So I think Today I will just relax maybe play a little Sims Medieval and perhaps work on my many various projects later! I won't leave you with nothing though! Here is a project I'll be working on another day!

Happy Weekend!

Today is a day to relax! Went around to some thrift stores to see if I could find some old sweaters that would be good for recycled yarn, but came up empty handed! Oh well! Gonna spend the rest of my evening cozied up with a good book, and a hot cuppa jasmine tea! Happy weekend everyone!

Pony Tail Beanie

Ok so here is one of my favorite base patterns! It's a beanie, but I also use it to make cloche hats, and beanies without the ponytail hole! So without further ado, here is the Ponytail Beanie!
Here are some pictures of beanies I have made with this patter (Which are also for sale on my etsy page!) Maybe tommorow I'll get the pattern for my 3d 3 layer flower up!
