Minion!

Well this week I was on Spring Break so I figured I should add some of my projects onto here so others could see :)

I made a minion about 5 months ago for my boyfriend as an early Christmas gift. It took me a long time to find a pattern to use and I ended up altering it to customize the minion just for him. It was my first time ever changing a pattern and I was extremely surprised at how well he turned out.

If you would like to make your own minion, I used the pattern from WolfDreamer HERE.

I also highly recommend getting patterns from her blog. She does an amazing job with all of her original designs and has a wide variety of patterns :)

Have a great day!

French Press Cozy!

So my brother and his girlfriend, Mattea, came over about a month ago and Mattea brought her french press. She started making tea and had the french press wrapped in a towel to keep it warm. So when I walked in the kitchen, my mom goes... "Taylor, make Mattea a cozy for her french press so she doesn't have to keep wrapping it up." So I spent the rest of the day making a cozy (without a pattern) and I am pretty darn proud of how it turned out :)

Its definitely not perfect and there are a couple things I would change if I made another, but overall Mattea loved it and I think it turned out nice! :)

My First Post! Unicorn Complete!

For my first blog post I would like to share the unicorn I just finished today. I have been working on it for a couple weeks now because hobby lobby ran out of eyes and the project got put on hold for a few days.

The pattern I used is Lil' Baby Unicorn from Little Yarn Friends and can be found HERE.

So here are the pictures :)

I wanted her to be fairly big so I used an H hook and 15 mm eyes. I decided that I wanted the mane and tail to be more like real hair so I spent all day today making each curl... I also added buttons to the legs to add a little character and I added a cute little bow to the tail :)

I'm giving this little beauty to my boyfriend's niece for Christmas on Wednesday so hopefully she will like it!

Merry Christmas!
