Christmas is here

Well Christmas is here and I have been very busy being sick and making Christmas Presents. Being low on cash but rich in creativity I am making nearly every single gift I am giving this year. I am making everything from treats, toys, hats, and even beauty products. It has been fun. I am thinking I will post all the links of the tutorial, patterns, and recipes I used this Christmas as my present to all of you.

TOYS

     I will start with the toys, some of the toys I created the patterns from scratch and sadly didn't write them down. I will try and remake them and write them but that sadly will not be until the new year starts. The patterns I didn't create I will now Share. This year for my Nephew I made a little hedgehog toy. This pattern is written is UK terminogy but it isn't hard to translate into American terms. For every DC just is your head make it a SC. That is all Click here for the Hedgehog pattern. Isn't this the cutest little pattern. Only thing I did different it I used a dog slicker brush to make the body of the Hedgehog fuzzy.

     The next one I made for my friends new baby. I love this pattern since it has no hard eyeballs so nothing harmful to the little baby. Click here for the Owl Pattern. The few changes I did was instead of felt I crocheted the brow and the beak so I could sew them very tightly to the owl so it would be more baby safe. This is a real easy pattern to follow and really quick to make.



I also made a mermaid doll and penguins for my nieces. Those are the patterns I created to I do not have a link of pictures to show you at this time sorry.

HATS

I didn't make that many hats this year as I did last year but since the slouchy berets are popular I thought I would make my sister and my friends some of these.

     These are really easy to make I threw one together in less them 4 hours which is really nice and it fits my huge head. (got to keep all the knowledge somewhere) but also fit my friends so have more normal size heads as well. Click her for Slouchy Beret Pattern
I didn't do any alternations to this patterns.






Christmas Tree Ornaments

I decided to add to my huge amount I already had on my plate and make all new ornaments for my Christmas tree. I made a whole bunch of goodies for tree all the goodies I sadly was just told by my doctor I had to refrain from eating (silly Triglycerides). I made plum pudding, cupcakes, gingerbread, and gumdrop ornaments.

      These are some of cutest little cupcakes I have made. These are also really easy to make. When I was searching for the patterns I found a few but this one was the easiest. When I was done is was as big as a everyday cupcake. I didn't use beads to decorate the top I just used green and ready yard and stitched long sprinkles on them. Click here for cupcake pattern

     This are so easy to make and really adorable on my tree. Only thing I didn't different is I went to the Dollar store and picked up some shatter proof ornaments instead of Styrofoam balls. Click here for Gum Drop Tutorial




The Gingerbread men I made I will be making a tutorial for after Christmas so easy and so cute but I need to buy some batteries so I can take pictures of them for all of you to see. :)

That is all I have time for at this moment I will post the treats I made this year as well. Thank you all and Merry Christmas :)
