Here’s some of the stuff I’ve been working on over the holidays.
First, I made a cute little cupcake for Nora’s Birthday.
It came out so cute that I knew I had to make a bunch more. The two on the right hand side of the picture went to Julie’s friends, and the one on the left hand side went to my aunt.
I kept one, to put in my new little cake dish that I got for Christmas.
After the cupcakes, my Aunt Renee volunteered me to make my cousin Jamie a little red riding hood doll, since he is obsessed with that story right now, and so I obliged. I was not prepared for the amount of work little red riding hood would take, and I spent quite a lot of hours leading up to his birthday getting her done. It was fun to make because of the detail – it was certainly the most detailed thing I’ve crocheted, and now I’m pretty sure I can crochet just about anything.
It’s neat, because her cape comes off and you can play with her hair.
She also has her little basket, which I just had to make some foods for out of clay. I think they turned out pretty well since I hadn’t touched clay in at least a year.
In fact, I spent so much time on her that I had a hard time relinquishing her (also why I have so many photos), but I knew Jamie would love her. I may make another doll in the future, I just wish I had more people request stuff to give me an excuse to do it! I can’t really just randomly crochet a bunch of amigurumi dolls just for myself.
Anyway, now I am off of the crocheting for a bit since Miss Little Red Riding Hood wore me out. I’m currently knitting some scarves, and tonight I’m going to start sewing 2 blankets that I am making. I think I’ll be returning to more cupcakes at some point though.
I can’t thank you ENOUGH for these BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART you have created. You are SOOOOOO INCREDIBLY talented, I think you should either open a shop or sell your items online. And, I would love to have a blanket say for my b-day

Your crocheting is so awesome. My mother crocheted so many beautiful things, but I could never seem to do, and was not very patient when she would try to teach me. I keep attempting to just do a single crochet and connect it to the next row. I would like to just be able to make a simple scarf. I probably should take a class. But having tried and failed so much, I am all the more impressed with your detailed work. And the clay food in the basket…so awesome!!!!
I’ll definitely make you a blanket! I’ll send you a link to pick the colors/pattern you want.
Peggy, I had a heck of a time learning to crochet when I first started, especially since I was knitting already… So crochet made no sense. It’s easy once you get started though, next time I see you I will teach you to crochet!! You’ll definitely be able to do a scarf.
ooh! I want a cupcake! :) A yellow one!
If you email me your address I’ll send you one!
OK seriously I looooooooooooove the stuff you make and you can make me stuff anytime u want. i heart my cupcake and my poop is at my work i love poop
