Crocheted R2D2 Purse

Hi Everyone!

I am very sorry for not posting in so long! I have been really busy and just haven't had time, but I'm going to try to make up for it by posting some patterns or tutorials sometime soon.   
Anyway, today I am posting pictures of a bag I crocheted a few days ago that is meant to look something like R2D2 from Star Wars.  It was a lot of work trying to get all of the little pieces stitched on, but I'm happy with how it turned out. 

Let me know what you think!

Hi Everyone!

Today I wanted to show you the Knotted Headband that I crocheted to go along with my Crocheted Skirt. 
I used the great tutorial from You Seriously Made That? here.  I also added a button on top to match the ribbon.

Hi Everyone!

I'm sorry its been SO long since I've posted!
Today I'm sharing some pictures of 2 Easter projects I crocheted recently.
The first one is a drawstring purse:

And the second one is an amigurumi bunny.  I used the basic amigurumi pattern that I have posted on my blog and just added ears, legs, arms and a face.

Quilt Style Purse

Hi everyone!

Today I have some pictures of a purse I sewed a few days ago.  I cut an old shirt into the shape I wanted, sewed felt on the back of each piece and sewed a quilted design onto the felt.  Then I sewed the pieces together, added 2 pockets, a button, a hande, and a small strip of fabric to button the purse closed. 

Let me know how you think it turned out!

Crocheted Bible Case

Hi Everyone!

Here are some pictures of one of the Bible cases I have crocheted.  I used Vanna's Choice yarn and a size G hook for this project. 

This was a very simple crochet project.  All you have to do is make a chain long enough to fit along the cover of your Bible, HDC in each row until you have a good fit, sew the sides together and add handles, a button, and a strap to go over the button. 
Have a wonderful day!
God Bless!
