And boy, have I been busy! I don't think I could summarize all the projects I've completed over the last year, but I will do my best to post pictures of everything over the next few months. I kind of fell out of the blogging world for a while, so please excuse any faux pas.
The twins are getting so big and keeping Mommy and Daddy very busy. We go on outings, play games, sing songs, play music, read books, cook and bake, color, play with bubbles, and anything else that active 22 month olds like to do. I am working on a huge birthday gift for them, which I'll talk about more later, but for now, let's see some pictures!!
These are some of my favorite creations! The first jellyfish was a gift I made for my 2 year old nephew for Christmas last year, and he turned out so cute, I wanted to make one for my boys! I loved learning how to make the curlicues, and the bright colors helped use up some of my Red Heart Super Saver stash. I love making the unique faces on them as well, and the purple one has so many loooong tentacles. I do not let the boys play with this one unattended, as the tentacles could get wrapped up around their little necks, but they do love pulling on them all the time.

The little turtle friend is one of my most prized creations; it is a completely original design and it could not have turned out better! I realized through making the others that the simple dome-shaped bodies could easily be turned into many other creatures. So, I started on him and I love everything about him. I wish he could stand up on his tiny legs like the octopus, but I'm not going to change anything unless I make another.

The octopus was something that I saw on Pinterest, and thought, "I could make that, easy!" I used every last scrap of red yarn and even had to take some stitches out of a few legs so they would all be the same length. He is so huggable and the boys love dragging him around by his legs.

I hope this puts any doubts as to my commitment to yarn crafts to rest. While I haven't been posting, I have been working still. I've even got ideas for other neat sea creatures to create. There will be more catch-up posts to come, as well as posts about my current projects. All of these creatures will be posted to my Etsy site for purchase shortly. I also have been doing some updating and housecleaning there. Check it out, and leave me comments if you like any of these stuffed friends.
What have you been working on the last month?
