I've Made Friday Week 39

Christmas is fast approaching!

I hope your all ready!

Mine has been a little delayed 

due to my illness but I'm trying to get all my

presents finished.

I did get some things made.

Little Red has 2 teachers and 1 teaching assistant.

I made them all a little something for christmas.

A Mug Cosy

An Apple bookmark

& an apple coaster

The free patterns are linked above.

I'll hopefully have the mug cosy typed up

as a free pattern in Jan.

I just used the apple from the bookmark as decoration.

I also made some Turkey mittens

for one of Little Red's friends.

I gave her the turkey hat and she really

wanted some matching mittens.

I started off using the free pattern:

but I ended up changing it slightly as I prefer making the cuff slightly different.

I made a giraffe

using the patterns I bought from:

http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/toy/squeedorable-amis-ebook/10873

The patterns are fantastic and easy to follow.

My favorite out of the ebook so far is the hippo:

Included in the ebook is:

Frappimals

-Mr and Mrs Mouseyccino

-Giraffeccino

-Frabeeccino

-Frapeleccino

-Frabbitccino

-Fraccoonccino

Daphnee The Dog 

Seanna The Pig

Bird

Kassie The Tiger 

Fluffy The Sheep

Kellie the Kangaroo 

Calleigh the Cow

Pollie the Polar Bear

Giraffe and Baby

Lulubelle Hippo

Rocky Raccoon

At only $9.99 it's fantastic value.

Little Red wants a cuddly toy made for each of the dolls

for Christmas.

He is just too sweet.

I also made a thank you gift for one of the mums from school.

As I've been so ill and hubby had to go back to work

she has been taking Ryan to and from school.

I wanted to make something to say thankyou:

I used the free pattern:

http://thecrimsonowl.blogspot.co.uk/2009/08/convertible-cowl-free-pattern.html?m=1

I then just crocheted a piece to go around the bottom to keep it together if you want to.

I hope she likes it because she was

brilliant this week and really helped me out!

I've not quite finished the other things I'm making 

so I'll hopefully have some more pictures of them next week.

Now it's your turn.

Show us what you've been making.

It doesn't have to crocheted.

Anything you have made is brilliant to see.

Thursday Handmade Love Week 38

I hope everyone is having a good week.

Things aren't going quite to plan at our house.

I woke up on Sunday with an awful cough.

My asthma started playing up and none of my inhalers

were making a difference.

I got so bad that I ended up in A&E.

Turns out I've got an infection in my lung.

Fast forward a few days and I'm still struggling

to battle this infection.

I've been back to the Dr's and they have extended some of

my medication.

I'm due to see them again on Friday but my fingers are crossed

that I get better.

Hubby has been fantastic!

He took a couple of days off to look after me & number one son.

A fantastic friend and mum from school

is kindly taking my son to school

as I can't manage getting up stairs so there

is no way I would manage getting to school and back.

It's all fun and games but hopefully I'll get it out of the way before Christmas.

I'm not going to be linking up with other peoples handmade things today.

I'm going to show what I've made for Christmas last year & this year.

Now it's your turn.

Feel free to link anything handmade.

It doesn't have to follow the theme.

Please where you can add the button to your post.

We want the homemade love to spread.
