Princess Paige Doll

This is my newest creation. I had to wait until after Yule to post because I made this for my Daughter. She has red hair and blue eyes so I made the doll to look like her. She loves it. The pattern is available at My Etsy Store if anyone is interested.





Here is her opening it :)


I also made her an Orange Star


Here is her right after she opened it

NIN Coffee Cozy

Cup Cozys seem to be the trend right not so I figured "Why not?" Easy Yule Gift hehe. I made this for my husband but gave it to him early. I will probably make him a different one for Yule ;) This is for an over sized cup so it is big. I am going to make a smaller one soon. The hard thing is cups are all different sizes so it is hard to make a universal pattern. I didn't make it with the row going over the top of the handle because I don't like the feel of yarn on my lips when I am drinking coffee LOL

Child's Invincibility Star Convertible Hat *Free Crochet Pattern*

My daughter stretched out her Link Hat that I made her and now it falls off her head so I had to make her a hat that was more snug. I decided to make her this. She loves Mario and Twinkle Stars so this was perfect for her :) I would have used my model head but the hat wouldn't fit her lol. It's all good my daughter loves the camera. If I could only get her to stay still though haha. Everyone says she looks like Dakota Fanning. I can see that :) Ok on to the hat. I know I said no more projects until Yule but she needed it ;) If you can't see the pictures right click on them and select view picture :)













Ok on to the pattern...

Child's Invincibility Star Convertible Hat
By: AprilDraven
for personal use only

Yarn: regular 4 ply worsted yarn

abbreviation meanings:
sc: single crochet
dc: double crochet
fp: Front post
bp: back post
ss: slip stitch
sk: skip
FO: Fasten Off


H/8-5.00MM hook
100% Acrylic yarn (the cheap stuff LOL)

with main color ch 60 join to first ch with a ss to form a circle (or chain enough to go around your head or the Child's), ch 1

Rnd 1: sc in each ch around, join with a ss to top of first sc, ch 2

Rnd 2-6: *1dcfp, 1dcbp* repeat from * to * around, join with a ss to top of first dc, ch 2 (5 rounds) (on the end of the 5th round ch 1 instead of chaining 2)

Rnd 7: sc in each dc around, insert marker because from now on you will be working in the round

Rnd 8: 22 sc, Start the star pattern. I figured out the 22 by taking the amount of stitches the star was across and subtracting that number from how many stitches I had and then divided that number by 2. That will put the star on the front of the hat. So if you are making an adult hat or are putting another charted thing on it (I have a Mario mushroom and a NIN chart that would work too)that is how to do it.



Rnd 9-32: sc in each sc around (23 rounds if making an adult hat keep going until it reaches about 10 inches, You might have to keep going even more than that if you have a bigger head)

Last Round: join with 1 ss, ch 2, sk 1, 2 sc *ch 1, sk 1, 2 sc* rep from * to * around, Join with 1 ss, FO

for the top tie ch 140 FO and weave around the top holes and cinch shut and tie a bow. add beads to the end ties and you are done :D

You can wear the hat as a slouchy hat, Pull your hair through the hole in the top, fold up the brim, or wear it as a scarf.

Super Star Slouchy Hat

I made the star stuffie for my daughter and I was staring at it thinking I should make a slouchy hat with a BIG star on it. (lol I have a slouchy hat obsession at the moment) So I did. I used the same colors as the other one because I just love earthy tones :)I think I might use simply soft yarn next time just because it is more flexible. After this post I am going to have to stop for a while. I have a ton of Yule gifts to make and I don't want certain people finding out what their gifts are ;) I will post all the goodness after the holidays though :D

I have the pattern available for $3.00 in My Etsy Shop if anyone is interested.

Star Stuffie "Twinkle Star" Free Crochet Pattern

My Husband has been telling my daughter bedtime stories with a Twinkle Star and Rainbow Pony. So my daughter has been bugging me to make Twinkle Star. I decided to quit putting it off and make it. I have just been sooooooo busy lately. I plan on making her an Orange one for Yule. (her favorite color is Orange) Well here it is in all the Twinkle glory. I might put a face on it later if she wants one. I was thinking of the Mario Star the whole time haha I wonder if she would let me put eyes on it...Anyways, I might not be posting as frequently because I have to make a ton of stuff for Yule and can't post it until after the recipients have received their gifts but there will be a ton of stuff posted after the holidays.

More Resin Jewelry

I love making necklaces :) Too bad it takes about 3 to 4 days to completely make.







and another Edward one. It still isn't perfect but I will keep trying until I get a perfect one hehe







Some more Herb Charms :)







My friend Mandi gave me a bunch of tiny jars. This is what I have come up with so far.




Here is the coolest part. All the necklaces with the pink and orange stars are black light reactive and the dragonfly's glow in the dark.
