New Tags & Updates

Ordered some new tags for my creations.  I LOVE THEM!  They came out better than I expected, which is ALWAYS  a good thing

I’m working on a couple of new updates for the site, that should be up within this week.  Firstly, I will have pictures of the completed “The Witch” design.  Accompanying this will be a new crochet pattern on how to make her cauldron.  I really want to try out the new video camera my husband got me for my birthday so I may even go as far as making a video tutorial for the pattern (but we’ll see how that goes). 

I’ve also gotten a request for a zombie bunny.  Can’t wait to get started on that one!  The person who requested it said she wants it to hang from her mic stand…how fun!!

Sheldon The Sperm

So last night after tweaking and updating my various websites I got an urge to make a small sperm doll.   Don’t ask me why…I guess I’m just strange that way heh heh   I was planning on writing up the pattern to share with others out there, that are as strange as me, but I lost track of my counts and just started to freehand it (no pun intended lol).  I will try again soon (I promise) and hopefully will have a new free pattern soon.

So here he is…Sheldon the Sperm

A couple more pics of him can be seen in the gallery.
