Here is the trash can that's in the Alley -

 And here is a cat, peeking out of the trash can -

 Lastly, here is the kitten, hoping for a fishie to eat -

Cute and very easy to make.  Check out her shop, she has some great patterns!

What am I working on now?

Have you read any of the Pern books by Anne McCaffrey?  The series of books are about human-kind who have settled on a planet that they named Pern.  Dragons live there, flying, fire-breathing dragons!  They are empathetic with humans and bond, one dragon to one human for life.   There are also fire lizards there, a much, much smaller version of the dragons. 

What on earth does this have to do with what I am crocheting?  Or are you already there?

Using a pattern from Lucy Ravenscar's Etsy store and a beautiful metallic gold yarn, I am crocheting her Dragonet pattern to crochet a gold Queen Fire Lizard.  Clara, of the Etsy store 6060 hand-painted special eyes for the Fire Lizards.  And they are beautiful, perfect for them! 

When the first (I am making two) of the dragons is finished I will post photos of her.  But until then, here is Lucy Ravenscar's photo from her Etsy store - - -

I had to put off starting work on them last month, due to an emergency appendectomy.  My appendix was not far from bursting, and had "oozed" a bit.  I was very lucky to have gotten in when I did, and to have great doctors and nurses.  They "mopped up" well before closing, then pumped me full of 3 types of antibiotics for four days.  So now, except for a sore hand where the last IV was, and still getting tired a bit too quickly, I'm "all better now" as our kids used to say.

So now, after making hamsters by the dozens, I've now moved onward and upward to crocheting beautiful golden Dragons~ ~ ~

Amigurumi galore

Fat Cat Likes Striped Sweaters

They, and many  more Ami's and other projects, will be going with me to the Agrirama's Independence Day Celebration.  I'll be exhibiting inside the museum that day.  I am super excited and even more nervous!   Also am very curious about how it will go.  One thing for sure, it will be a very long day for me.
    We have to start setting up at 7a.m., and the doors open at 9 till 4 or 4:30.  I'll be a very tired, but hopefully a very happy, puppy by then.  As long as a few people show up that I know, to stop by for a chat, I'll enjoy the day tremendously!

Amigurumi Ballarina Bear

This cute little bear, pattern is free Ballerina Bear and is super easy to make.  She would make a great gift for anyone who knows a young girl in dance classes.

The colors are not as bright in the photo as they are in reality, but the photo with the pattern shows it better.

Fast, easy, and cute as can be~

Another New Amigurumi Finished

This is the latest Amigurumi that I've finished, Trumpy the Elephant.  He's so cute, much cuter in person than in the photos.  The pattern is by Claire Sibly and is/will soon be available in her Ravelry Store.

My Newest Amigurumi

This is my latest Amigurumi critter.  I've made two more, but the eyes are not on the last one so no photos of the group yet.  Anyway, they will become "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Say No Evil".  I'll post photos of the set when they are all done.
