Crochet Apples

~ Bridgette@TheFamilyHearth ~ 4 Comments
DSC_2490AI know I recently stated that I was going to take a small break from crochet for awhile, and that truly was my intent until I saw the most darling crochet apples ever. Ever!
Sedef from Down Grapevine Lane posted a pattern (available for free for a limited period of time!) for these crochet apples and I just couldn’t resist.     DSC_2502 DSC_2504A DSC_2505ADSC_2493DSC_2498They make such happy little friends, don’t they?
Now I really am taking a break from crochet. I think. I have some exciting sewing projects calling my name!
I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

xoxo, Bridgette

Bunny Business

DSC_2014I have had these cute little “jackrabbits” pinned on my Pinterest for sometime now. Until a few weeks ago, I had not been able to find a pattern for them. Needless to say I was elated to find out that there is now a pattern for these available for instant download by eineldee on Etsy. You can find the shop here. They also have a few other reeeally cute patterns!DSC_1911DSC_1847DSC_1849I try to always put something homemade in the children’s Easter basket. This year they each received a rabbit of a different color. They love them, and it makes every stitch worth it! (Especially when every stitch brought on an increasingly worse case of carpal tunnel! Ick. I think I’ll have to lay off the crochet for awhile.)
I made Madeleine’s bunny with a tad bit smaller head, and added fabric to her ears to help her look a bit more girly.DSC_1860DSC_1854

With all this talk about bunnies, I think it’s time to introduce you to our newest little pet, Beatrice the Bunny. She arrived just in time for Easter and the children are completely in love. DSC_2038ADSC_2051cA DSC_2048AA Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

 A quick note: For anyone who is interested in buying this pattern, be aware that an understanding in the difference of crochet terms among different countries is necessary, as this pattern is not written in US crochet terms. However, anyone with a bit of crochet experience shouldn’t find it hard to translate into English terms.
