It's been a while, I know


Hey y'all!




It's been a while (nearly a year) since
my last post. I've had a rough year to say the least, but hopefully
things are starting to get back to more of a normalcy. Those of you
on Facebook already know most of it.




On Easter Sunday of last year, both my
husband and youngest daughter were rushed to the E. R. with double
pneumonia. My daughter was allowed to go back home with

Quick note:

For those of you who have been having problems understanding the 'feet' in the Sonic and Tails patterns,  I've put up a picture rich tutorial for them here:  http://oth-help.blogspot.com/2013/03/sonic-foot-tutorial.html .  

Some of the other patterns have the same (or similar) style of foot,  so it may help with some of the other patterns as well :D

Hope this helps those of you that have been

On the topic of forums...

Like many of you, I enjoy talking to and hearing from others who enjoy the craft of crochet and knit as much as I do. To that end, I joined a forum site called Knitting Paradise (http://www.knittingparadise.com/ ).After nearly a year

Enderman Plush

Terriormon Plushie





Well,  I took a bit of a detour.  Digimon are big around this house,  and Terriormon is first up.  This doll is probably going to require two skeins of white (but you should have left overs)  and about half a skein of the green color.

Emolga Plush




Well it took me forever to get this pattern typed out and posted here....  too much going on and not nearly enough 'spare' time LOL.

As always,  I'm not entirely happy with the face  (I always wish I could do the faces better).  The pictures don't show the tail structure,  something happened to the camera and the other pics we took of the back got corrupted,  but I'll get the kids to get some

Just a quick update...

I'm still here!  LOL.



I know I've not been very active lately,  sorry 'bout that. Between the holidays (my busiest time of year)  and now I'm trying to re-do my kitchen and bathroom...I've been overloaded. I keep trying to set aside time for working on crochet projects,  but I end up working on house-hold stuff instead.  I've been planning this kitchen/bath redo for nearly three years,  so
