Birds N Bees

....A pair of sweet lil love birds from Lion Brand Yarn.....
As they say " just in time for Valentine's Day". Lots of color combos you could try out on these two and you could easily make a nest for them by crocheting a shallow bowl shape and lining it with scrappy bits and AWWWW make them a little nest egg :)

....Easy's Six Petal Puff Stitch Flower....
I love this pattern, it's fast, cute, and very versatile. I use it as an embellishment every chance i get. I've seen a pic of a pillow cover made from stitching a bunch of these little blooms together for a little girl's room, what a cute idea. Tara has included some helpful photos in her pattern so you can't go wrong. ENJOY!

....Weekend in Stockholm throw from Stitch Nation....
The vibrant colors against the crip snowy white are brilliant together. It makes me want to totally redecorate my house in this color scheme or buy a vacation home in Sweden. Okay, I can't afford either of those options but I can afford this free pattern from Stitch Nation and i can't wait to finish this project so I can show it off! TY Stitch Nation

Harry Hill's TV Burp Knitted Character
http://esshaych.blogspot.com/2009/11/knitted-character-pattern.html
...The famous "Knitted" Character from TV Burp is actually crocheted...
I followed this pattern from Sarah at EssHaych because my husband is originally from England and is a fan of Harry Hill's TV Burp. Her pattern for the KC was super easy to follow and saved us lots of cash since the originals were going for as much as 100 lbs each on ebay at the height of the KC's popularity. Thanks Sarah!
Bipolar Bears are Friendly
http://yellowpinkandsparkly.blogspot.com/2010/03/arthur-polar-bear.html
...Arthur the gentle polar bear from Yellow,Pink and Sparkly...
I love that she also adds a pattern for his dashing accessory, the shaping in this pattern is top notch, Arthur sits perfectly steady on his beautifully balanced bear behind. I will be making an arthur of my own now that i have just the right yarn for his coat. Brrrr just in case that fur coat isn't enuff to keep him warm he's got his snuggly psychedelic scarf :)

Devil's Food Cake Deviled Eggs Deviled Ham why are so many yummy foods so evil?
This pattern was designed by Mrs Devil and translated from Thai by the talented Sayjai at kandjdolls.
