Crocheted Turtle For La Fleur Photography

I have always used a pattern to crochet something. A few weeks back on pinterest my long time friend who is a photographer had pinned this crocheted turtle prop. I had it in my mind that I was going to surprise her with it as soon as possible. I looked at the photo of the prop the lady had for sale, I counted the stitches I could see, I thought about how to put it together, and I just started working. I started it one day in the car and the by the next it was done and I couldn't believe I had done it without a pattern. Yes, I am quite happy with my mad crochet skills. HA HA HA HA!


You can imagine my squealing when Jennifer tagged me with this photo on facebook. This is her sweet new nephew all dressed up as a turtle. :) Isn't he precious?

Homeschool Christmas Gift Swap

Yes, I am BLOGGING! Hee hee...

The boys were part of a homemade gift swap again this year.

Elijah made this really sweet weenie dog neck warmer that you can heat in the microwave. It was made out of socks and he said he felt like he was doing something bad the whole time he was cutting up those brand new socks.

He was given this really neat spider man. You can pose him and his mask even comes off!!!!

Remy made this penguin ornament for his swap gift.

He got this really sweet red sleigh ornament and it hung on our tree. :)

His little friend even sent a little picture, how cute is this????
