Wood people

We made these at the girls's school this week. We used hot glue to decorate a piece of wood with body parts, hair, accessories, etc. I glued a string to the top of them so I can hang them on our Christmas tree this year.

Sparkly snowflakes

These were a custom order. They turned out so pretty!! I like them better than the ones I made for myself a few years ago. The yarn I found this time was thinner, and had more sparkle to it. I might have to make myself some more, too. 

Flower girl's purse

I added a big flower and some stripes to this little purse.

Kitty purse

I made this purse to match a hat I made for a friend's little girl. Instead of a long strap, I made two shorter straps so she could carry it in her hands instead of on her shoulder.

Little girl's crochet fox purse

This one was a lot of fun. I think purses are going to be my specialty :) I used a basic purse pattern that I had used before, and made up a fox face after getting inspiration from browsing on Pinterest.

This cute little purse is currently for sale. Check out and like my facebook page, In My Free Time Crochet. I will have more purses listed on there and here as I finish them.

Wreath for our door

I always like how our front door looks at Christmas with a wreath on it. When Christmas is over, and the wreath comes down, our front door always looks lonely. I found a picture on pinterest awhile back for a custom made wreath that I really liked. I bought all the pieces from Joann's and made my own!

Flower hair clips

These were fun and quick to make.

Crochet hat with heart

I made this for a friend's little girl.

Froggie backpack

I started this quite awhile ago, but finally got around to finishing it up. I found the pattern on Ravelry. It turned out pretty cute, Audrey likes it. It is currently filled with play food :)

Outlander crochet cowl

This cowl was created by *gasp* knitting. Yes, I cheated on crochet :) 

I really liked the look of the super chunky crochet cowls that have been popular lately, inspired by the Outlander tv show. The pattern for this one I found online. It was made using a basic garter stitch and holding two strands of bulky yarn together. (I had to look up online how to knit since it had been so long since I've done any knitting.) It also called for size 50 knitting needles. They were GIANT! But they were actually a lot of fun to use, and the cowl worked up quick. I also made a grey one for my sister, but forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her.

Kitty crochet hat

A friend requested a kitty hat for her little girl, so this is what I came up with. I added some flowers in different colors to place by the ear to up the cuteness factor.

Newborn penguin hat

I browsed pinterest and found the perfect hat for Clara to wear this winter. I used my basic ear flap design for the body, then created some eyes, a beak, and a bow. It looks pretty cute on Clara if she will actually leave it on her little noggin :)
