And new today is End of The Rainbow Toddler Purse.

Perfect for St. Paddys! My youngest, who is a boy, actually loves it!! Although his Dad would rather him not! lol

Thanks for stopping by.

Tomblidoos!!

I made a tomblidoo. They are these little creatures from "In the Night Garden". A preschool show My first attempt was quite scary looking.

I told Quenton that I was going to frog it and he said "No, I want it" lol, so he now has it.

Here it is on his bed. See, its scary looking. I didn't even add arms or all of the hair because it wasn't turning out.

So, I tried again. This time I made it from the legs up. It was much easier for some reason. It seemed backwards but it definetly worked out. Here it is.

It was made for my friends daughter and the best compliment I received on it was when she opened it, said "tombidoo" and later that night brought it to bed with her. I also made her a little shirt, a heart purse and a cute little summer hat. She got more goodies too, but those are all the crocheted stuff.

The top is from Lionbrand. I used Red Heart Soft instead of the cotton they called for and it came out ALOT smaller, but it still fit

The purse is from the Crochetguy. I added a fun fur border to it cuz I thought it was cute.
