One of my husband's co-workers found out his wife is pregnant. I love this girl and am so happy for her! She has been trying to conceive for a good few years now, and I know that she is so happy about this. I normally don't push my crocheting out on people that he works with (as some of them think of it as "granny hobby") but since we're good enough friends, I know how much she and her husband will appreciate this.
My husband and I weren't yet trying to conceive when I found this wonderful Noah's Ark blanket from Crochet! May 2008. I was eagerly awaiting for one of the wives, or a friend, to tell me that they were pregnant so that I could make this for somebody! I needed to make this for SOMEONE because I couldn't wait long enough to make it for when I get pregnant, lol. I just think this is the absolute cutest blanket in the entire world. So... I've begun the ocean part and am pretty much finished with the blue (ocean) part of the blanket. As cute as it is, I think it's fairly easy. It's basically just a wave pattern for the blanket, and with all my amigurumi training, I feel so confident once I reach the point of making the boat and animals. However, it will be the first time I'm attaching something to a blanket so we will see how that goes...
Since I'm finally finished with the wholesale order of The Claire Doll, I have had a ton of free time to create new things in time for Easter. I've posted up a Breast Cancer awareness ribbon which I have NO problem accepting wholesale orders for and giving a hefty discount per ribbon for. If we had a little bit more money (ha!) I would do it for free since it's for a great cause. In any case, I've finished the Claire Doll's and would like to tell you guys about the website she'll be featured at!The lady has yet to post the website up, as she is still working on the entirety of it (do you guys remember how hard it is to make up a new website from scratch!?). I have the link, so check back for it ;-)
I've had this idea in my head for a while now and am not sure if I want to do it. And if I do create it... should I sell it or just give it to a family member's kid? There's push music buttons you can purchase, and I bought one just for this idea. Once pressed it sings, "Jesus Loves Me". Can you guess? Yes, I want to make a Jesus amigurumi! I would like to do it entirely from my own pattern. I can see it in my head! What do you think?
Aside from that, I need to get to listing up the tiny amigurumi sheep I made. It's from luxuriously fuzzy yarn which was HIGHLY difficult to crochet with, seeing as I can't see the darned stitches with that stuff. But the end result is oh-so-cute!
