Crochet Minecraft!

Ha! So one day I was burnt out on flowers, and I wanted to make something different because it had been so long when my 15 year old son suggested a Minecraft Creeper. Hmm...interesting, very simple design, why not?!

I started one evening and finished early the next morning, woke my son up for school, he opened his eyes to his completed Creeper and was delighted! So delighted that he took the Creeper to school with him.

I never imagined all these teenage boys would be so crazy about a crocheted doll, who knew right?

After making the Creeper, I made my son a pig, which made him giggle like a little kid. Then an unsheared grey sheep.

I hope to make more of these for my son, it's about time I get to crochet something just for him LOL!

Dark, Goth, and Macabre!

Gearing up for Halloween!

Blood, blood, and more blood! With some fun stuff thrown in as well :)

Summer drinks!

It gets hot and miserable in Arkansas, so I was inspired one day to create necklaces based on fun drinks!

A root beer float, pina colada, lemonade, cherry limeade, and kiwi strawberry.

Art Nouveau inspiration

Mucha is my favorite artist, and his work inspires me so much, here are a few pieces I created in an Art Nouveau style:

The Orchid section :)

I obsess over orchids, with their countless design shapes and colors. Here are a few I designed this past spring:

Spring Flowers

My grandmother grew the most beautiful Gerbera and African Daisies and so I got inspired to recreate her favorites :)
