I've been crocheting a little again. My son absolutely loves the Veggie Tales right now, and he asked if I'd crochet him a Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber. It was fun creating these guys without a pattern. I was happy with how they turned out. My son was thrilled with them!

My son's teacher is expecting a baby this month. I wanted to make her something and had been dying to try this super soft yarn I'd seen. The teddy bear lovey was a joy to make and ended up so cuddly! 

After creating it, our son wanted one just like it for himself (he collects all kinds of stuffed animals). So I made him one, and I'm in the process of making another in a different color for my daughter. They have been fun projects! 

I've crocheted a lot of things for our kids in the past, especially for Christmas. For our daughter, it's been everything from a stuffed horse with a matching hat, dress, and shoes to crochet cookies. So when she requested some supplies for one of her favorite stuffed animals, I couldn't wait to go yarn shopping.

Our daughter absolutely loves this stuffed dog. When you pet the dog's back, she will either bark or whine. I snuck the puppy out of her room while she was sleeping so I could take some pictures. The whole time I tried on her coat, she was barking. ha!

I ended up crocheting the puppy a coat, a matching bed and blanket, and some doggy bowls. I hope she likes them!

She also has a small crochet dress from the horse I made her three years ago. She's always wishing she had another dress that's a little bigger to use with other dolls or animals. So I made her one of those as well.

​I can't wait for her to open the gift on Christmas!
