National Tooth Fairy Day

Happy Tooth Fairy Day! I made this Tooth Fairy with a pattern by Crafty Intentions. I used the Moon Sprite and the Butterfly Wings patterns. Then I gave her a little outfit and some hair. Last, I gave her a nice, big tooth.

National Pokemon Day!

Today is National Pokemon Day! Head over to me Etsy shop and check out the available Pokemon Plushies Nanette Crochet

Happy Fat Tuesday! Mardi Gras

Yanma

Why are all the cute, red Pokemon bug types? Ledyba, Ledian, Venipede and now Yanma.

I did not use a pattern for this Pokemon

More red Pokemon

I finished a couple more red Pokemon
Venipede made with a pattern by Heart In Flight Crochet

And Ledian made without a pattern

Seeing Red

I decided that I need more red Pokemon, I only had Darumaka and Voltorb. So I started with Ledyba. Because who doesn't like a cute ladybug, right? I used a ladybug pillow pal pattern by Fiberdoodles by K4TT to make this ledyba

Now for the hard part, finding other red Pokemon to make. most of the ones I like that are called "red" Pokemon are actually orange.  I'm working in a Venipede now, then Electrode and I'll see what catches my eye after that.

Last of the Gold Pokemon

Last of the gold Pokemon. Sandshrew is finally done. All those black lines take FOREVER!

Happy Hearts Day

Pokemon gold rush!

Psyduck has a couple of new friends. Raichu and Dedenne have joined the gold team. 

Psyduck Pokemon Plushie Crochet

Just finished this cute little Psyduck using a pattern by Loopy Catherine
If you click on her name it will take you to the pattern

Pineapple Shawl

I found a pattern I haven't made in a few years. It's titled Sidewalk Shawl by Kimberly McAlindin from Stitch Nation. I got the pattern for free on the Red Heart website. I think it looks like pineapples, so I call it a pineapple shawl.
   The pattern goes to row 50, but I did an extra couple of repetitions and went to 60 rows and I also added to the beginning rows to taper to more of a point than the original pattern. I used a white yarn with flecks of pastel colors woven through it.

National Chopsticks Day

February 6th is National Chopsticks Day. In honor of today here is cute pic of my sushi roll scarves, one even has real chopsticks in it :)

Etsy is back

   Last year I had closed my Etsy shop to try other online selling options. It did not work out as I had hoped, so I am back on Etsy. My shop on Etsy is Nanette Crochet. I also have a Facebook page where I have more items in the photo albums.

   This year the only events I am sure I will be at are the Flavor Of Federal Way in my home town of Federal Way Washington this August and The Meeker Holiday Bazaar at Meeker Middle School in NE Tacoma Washington this November.

Chingling and Torchic are available from my Facebook page: Nanette Crochet .
