in the past few days...
I have finshed 3 crochet items/things. LOL
For father's day i made paul GROMIT (minus the face because i didnt have the proper buttons and didnt want to se just any ol' buttons cus it's GROMIT!!!!)..Paul LOVED it even without a face (he's a brit so wallace & gromit is a fav). We also got him 2 Dvd's he wanted and a gazebo/sun shade that fella fter 2 days. We returned it and got a re-fund and he is using tha money for "man-building-supplies"..LMAO.


After i made Gromit heather wanted a stuffed toy so i let her pic from about 10 patterns and she picked....THIS:

the UGLY DUCKLIN'!!!! LOL.
After that was done i decided to try ONE more time on the shrug that goes with the tank-y top that i posted pics of. I figured it would go smootly because the top did..NOPE. I . WAS. WRONG.
I am the type of person who likes FULL instructions..word for word. This was a bit challenging for me. BEcause when someone says: "word 79 dc's evenly spaced around" i NEED to know EXACTLY where to put the buggers. So i tried it 3 times...didnt end up with 79 evenly spaced dc's so a friend of mine basically told me where to put them. GRRRRR. Me and numbers are NOT good. I HATE MATH..so iHATED figuring out where these stitches would go (it wasnt like they were in a straight line, it was in rounds. UGH.
So i finished the matching shrug to the top and i will NOT be making that shrug again!..too much of a hastle.


So i have been busy!
Now i have to make the CANADA DAY Top that a friend of mine designed for me! yahhhhhhh...
AND i have to make a top for my neiece for her b-day (the same one i made heather a post ago :)) Except my neice's is going to be PINK with blue trim & a size bigger!.
so yeah...enought from me...stuff to get started on!
p.s. What is up with trying to post pics on here...took me a good 30 MINS to TRY and get them on here then i had to upload them ONE by ONE and that didnt even work 1/2 the time.
This is VERY annoying.
Anyone know a better site this is? (THAT WORKS!?)

Love the toy's you made... Love all your work you are so good.... I have no clue about another site.. I would do a search in your search bar.... If I should come across any I will let you know... The shrug looks great and I am like you I don't like it when the instructions are just so... I need them word for word... Have a good day....
Looking good. You did an awesome job.
I wonder if posting pics on Blogger has something to do with the time of day. I do mine like after 9 pm at night and I rarely have problems. During the day I do sometimes tho or on the weekends in the early evening. Try getting up in the middle of the night...mmm, let's say 3 am and see how it goes! Love the outfits...you're awesome, girlfriend!
Nice Gromit! I also made one, and found much luck with buttons for eyes and nose at Len's Mill...I do believe they have one in your neck of the woods!

Love the Grommit, even without a face! It'll be so sweet once it's finished.
