Birthday Fun

Today is my husband’s birthday.  So of course I had to make him some fun stuff.  First, I made him a moogle.  For those of you who don’t know what that is, it is a character from the Final Fantasy video games who says “kupo” randomly.

I used a pattern found here, and the only alteration I made was not using plain wire to hold up the little bobble on his head…I didn’t have any =)

Secondly, I made him a dice bag.  I found this great pattern of a dice bag made in the shape of a four-sided dice.  Sadly, it was more math than I wanted to do, so instead I took the basic idea and crocheted something similar.

It was pretty simple, it’s just 4 triangles sewn together with a drawstring top.  I’ll probably post instructions for it soon =)

Veggies

My sister has a friend who owns a children’s boutique, and she has asked me to make up some food to sell in her store!  I am so excited =)  So I have spent the last couple of days working on a few veggies to sell.  As you can see, I have made a carrot, corn, radish and peas in a pod.  I am very proud of the radish, I think it turned out great!  The corn however, I am going to redo the husk.  I made it that way for simplicity, but I don’t think it looks as authentic as it would if I were to split the top into a few sections.  The carrot top was kind of tricky to figure out how to do in a way that would be simple as well as durable, and I am pretty happy with it (although I didn’t stuff it well enough).  The peas are fun too of course =)  Naturally, I am writing down how I am making all of these in order to turn them into patterns, so those should be coming soon!
