Crochet?

The little lady is taking part in a dance concert and concerts mean lots and lots of waiting. So I'm making some toys for her and her fellow dancers. It's a good stach buster for my rainbow loom band.

I'm not sure if these count as crochet, even though I use a crochet hook to make them.

The dolls are from designs by Izzalicious designs.

Cactus boy

Some projects seem charmed.  All the pieces come together easily.  No mistakes.  From idea to finished item in a week or two.

This project has been the exact opposite.  I kept running out of material, and when I substituted, I ran out of the substitute.  I had to redo an arm three times, because it kept being bigger than the other one.  All my sewing came out wonky and I had to unpick stitches and do them over.  I lost sleep because I _JUST_WANTED_TO_FINISH dang it.

It's done now though.  Yeah!  It's huge.  (See the other toys in the photo). Take that Cactus Boy.  You're now a finished object.

Made by me from a pattern by Lydia Tresselt at LalyLala.

Feet

I had a strange urge to make barefoot sandals this weekend.  I go barefoot any chance I get, so I love the idea of these sandals, but I admit, I'm too lazy to actually wear them often.

I'm going to list them in the Etsy shop but first I've got to figure out how to display them.  I'm not sure how I feel about photographing feet.  Maybe the little lady could be my foot model.
