Spring House Keychain Pattern

We missed the spring; it has been such a cold winter this year, especially last week. The school was off for 3 days due to non stop snowing and ice. Hopefully we will see the spring and sun soon. It is March, yay! :)

To get into spring mood, I made a house keychain and sharing the pattern with you on the 9th day of March Meet The Maker challenge. If you want to see my other shares for the challenge, you can check my instagram or facebook. 
I used yarn art jeans yarn with a 2.5mm crochet hook. The size of the house will change depending on the yarn and hook you use.

sc: single crochet
dc: double crochet
sl st : slip stitch

inc: make 2 single crochet in the same stitch

dec: crochet 2 single crochet stitches together

The pattern pieces are made in a continuous spiral, without joining rounds or turning. Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the beginning of a round. Move the marker up when you complete the round.

Yay for more bunnies!

I love bunnies, such cute and fun animals. That is why I always refer to bunnies when I am talking about my kids. And now good news! Yay for more bunnies! My sister is pregnant and soon we will meet her very own blue bunny. As an auntie I had to make some toys for him. I made a bunny teething ring which   fabric design version is seen all around. I really love the idea, basic but fun!
I also made a bunny rattle from Lucia  Lanuka`s pattern which is also very popular. I sent my presents, including some lovely little man clothes and a blanket I made, to my sister before he arrives. I dont have photo of all of them but I am thinking and looking for more boys amigurumi toys which I will share later.  I will be making more for him and this time I will give them to him myself (I hope) when I meet him (probably next summer).  That is con of living in another country. You cant catch the news on time. :( 

I have my notes and the pattern for the teething ring will be available soon.

 You can find the bunny rattle pattern here for free. Isnt he cute? :)

Menny Swaddle doll

Baby is on the way, so it is time to celebrate! Baby showers are fun to use the opportunity to find something unique for for the mom-to-be, future dad and the baby. There are endless options for baby shower gifts, you can buy or make it yourself. You can never go wrong with a handmade gift! :)



I have pregnant friends and they asked me to make some gift favors for their baby showers. I wanted to make something new and unique. After a few days of dreaming, thinking; watching my two daughters playing and being inspired by them; I made these swaddle dolls. I really love how they turned out. They can be used as key rings, fridge magnet, bag charms etc..

If you want to make your own baby shower favors, you can find the pattern here or if you want me to make them for you, please contact me :)
