I Wanna Make a Cute Doll...

I'm in the mood to make a cute doll, so I'm asking my Facebook friends to help me choose a project.  This is really going to be fun!  Already I have a variety of suggestions with some adorable pics posted on my Yarn Varmints Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/Renycrochets/   And I am looking forward to more participation in the days to come.

With so many awesome suggestions already posted I'm thinking I may just have to have a drawing of all of them to make it fair.  And to make it easier on me, because, so far, I want to make every one of them!                           

Of course, my sister, who keeps up with everything I am doing, was the first to post!  I just think that these little mummy dolls are adorable!  Way to go, Sis!







My niece was the second person to jump on board!
These little octopi are so cute that I know I will be
making them at some point, either for this contest or
some other occasion.  Thanks Dana!  You have awesome
taste!






This slinky dachshund just intrigues me!  This is another one that
I will probably have to make at some point just for the challenge!
Thanks Lori!  I'm excited about this one!  I happen to know
someone special who would love this!









Who can resist this Raggedy Ann doll complete with dress, apron and pantaloons?  Oh my goodness!  What a treasured heirloom  she would be for some lucky child!  Another future
project, I am sure!  Thanks Cindy, my friend!










These are just a few of the entries so far.   Check back next week to see more awesome pics of potential projects.   On March 10th I will announce which project I will be doing and who the lucky winner will be.  So be sure to choose a project for me and post it on my Facebook page.      https://www.facebook.com/Renycrochets/

Babies, Babies, Babies!!!

Babies are such adorable little humans!  Such tiny little beings that just captivate nearly everyone in their immediate environment and cause even the most reserved and proper adult to revert to extreme silliness and gyrations trying to get that cute little baby grin response!

Every few years we seem to get  another one of those cute little critters welcomed into our family.    Since we have several grown up grand-children now, it's always possible that we could have another baby to love and adore!

In preparation for this anticipated event I have been looking at a lot of baby items on Pinterest.   And of course, anything that I make has to be totally cute and colorful!  One of my favorite things to do is to get me some inspiration and then add my own special style in the way of features and colors to the crochet project.

Last week I worked on a couple of teething rings and this week I made a nursing necklace.  I know that most crocheting grandma's like to make booties and blankets, but I'm so much more into different and fun things.

This is the first teething ring I made.    I borrowed the idea from this Pinterest pin

and then added some cute little eyes and a rattle inside the head.

He turned out so cute that I decided he needed a companion.   So I whipped up this lovely little lady!

And then I ddesigned this  'Little Monster' Nursing Necklace.

The little monster is a Yarn Varmints original character which I  affectionally refer to as a 'giggle' because they just make you want to giggle each time you look at them.  I crocheted him in miniature just for this project.  He is so cute that I think more miniatures are going to be cropping up in the future.

So, who knows what my next project will be.  I have so many ideas that I want to try!  Be sure to check back in often to see whats up at Yarn Varmints.  And if you see something here that you like, you can most likely find it in my Etsy store.  https://www.etsy.com/shop/YarnVarmintsPlus.  

Oh, and I love doing custom items, so contact me if you want a special color or style.  

Have a great and crafty day!

Blessings!
