Howling at the Moon

Two of my colleagues got a baby this week. For both of the babies I made a little cuddly animal. Cat and Rabbit of course, because that are the only examples we have around my house.   www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ My Unicorn was featured by The Cottage Market!! Thank you so much, Andrea!

Just as a try out I made this little cupcake, after I saw a pattern for making the swirly cream on top. You can find that pattern here . www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~  My Crocheted Watermelon was featured this week by Scraptality Thank you, Andrea!

One of my favourite flowers, that doesn't grow in my garden because the weather just isn't warm enough in the country I live in, is hibiscus. A couple of years ago I went to Hawaii and there are a lot of things I love about Hawaii, but hibiscus growing all around is certainly something to love! www.betweennapsontheporch.net I made a crochet version. By far not as good as the real ones, but nice enough to embellish my bathroom. ~*~ This week my Ice Cream Cones (with tutorial!) are featured by Sew Can Do ! Thank you, Cheryl!

My youngest daughter loves My Little Pony and especially the unicorns. Some time ago I found a great pattern, so I could make here one. www.betweennapsontheporch.net I found the pattern here.

Around Easter I made a bunny out of an old white blanket, but I had lots of blanket left. More than enough to make two Moon Pillows for the bedrooms of my daughters.  www.betweennapsontheporch.net

Last week I shared a crochet pineapple, as one of the fruits I love when summer is coming. Only the fresh ones, of course. But my all time favorite is watermelon.  www.betweennapsontheporch.net The combination watermelon, feta cheese and mint leaves makes the best summer salad in the world! Best winter salad, too, but in my corner of the world watermelon isn't widely available in wintertime.  Both my favourites together.

Another lovely idea I found on Instagram, @kikalite: www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ This week both my Kid's Tapestry Bag and my Jellyfish were featured by Fine Craft Guild . The bag was also featured by Creative Jewish Mom and the Jellyfish was also featured by Creating my Way to Succes. Thanks, ladies!

Both my daughters love ice cream and fortunately there's an ice cream bar just around the corner, where fresh ice cream is made the whole day through in every flavour you can imagine. www.betweennapsontheporch.net My own favorite is raspberry, but my daughters love melon and mango, so that's the flavours I made. If you want to make your own, here's a tutorial. 2 ch 1: 6 sc in second stitch from hook (6) 2: 2 sc in every stitch (12)  3: 6 times (2 sc, 1 sc) (18) 4: 6 times (2 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc) (24) 5: 6 times (2 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc) (30) 6: 6 times (2 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc) (36) 7 -13: 1 sc in every stitch (36) 14: 1 sc in the back loop of every stitch (36) Switch color 15-16: 1 sc in every stitch (36) 17: 3 times (crochet next two stitches together, 1 sc in next 10 stitches) (33) 18: 1 sc in every stitch (33) 19: 3 times (crochet next two stitches together, 1 sc in next 9 stitches) (30) 20: 1 sc in every stitch (30) 21: 3 times...

Maybe you remember that Bunny with Hoodie I made a couple of weeks ago. I made a cat version, too.   www.betweennapsontheporch.net And here's the bunny once more:
