Angler Fish Sweater

Being into Angler Fishes, of course my daughter wants an Angler Fish Sweater instead of a nice birthday dress for her birthday (I'm afraid the time of nice dresses for her birthday is gone anyway, now that she will be seven years old in a couple of days). 
But, you wouldn't believe it, Angler Fish Sweaters aren't sold in every shop you can find. Not even in Internet shops. So once again I had to make up something myself. Fortunately my nearby Craft Store sells iron on flock, so I bought a nice sweater and after drawing, cutting and iron on-ing an angler fish, this is what came out.

    This is AMAZING. Your kid is amazing for wanting it, and you're amazing for making it for her! Super cute and fun! ;P

    Adorable! And now I'm obsessed with the idea of angler fish mittens. I must have them!

    Your daughter sounds like such an amazing, unique little individual. We need more people like that in the world.

    That is so cute how your daughter has taken a shine to angler fish - and so wonderful that you are able to create such fun things for her. Thank you for sharing this wonderful sweater with us at Hearth and Soul.

    My wife teaches biology at a community college, and she is enamored with this little guy/gal. That's why it caught my eye at Silver Pennies linky party!

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

Image
  In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive. In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo...

Christmas Scrunchies (free pattern)

Image
 Of all the things I made this year, Crocheted Scrunchie s were the biggest hit. My daughter wears them all the time, in her hair and/or on her arm, so I thought Christmas Scrunchies would be nice, too.  I'm happy to say my duaghter thinks this Christmas variety 'is just as great as the regular, no mom, even better'!  My daughter is thirteen now, so I'm wondering if it will last very much longer, that enthusiasm over mom made things, but I hope it does, because I really enjoy making things for my daughters.   How I made them: Round 1: 40 dc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Change color Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Change color Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Chang...

Made It #12

~ I love Pinterest and would like to make one thing every week that I find on Pinterest. Since I have lots of pins (that, until now, I've just pinned and only that), I hope this will be a way to reduce the amount of pins on my boards . It can be anything, from cooking to crochet and from sewing to paper crafts. Just small projects that don't take weeks to make ~  Last week I told you about the Haasje look-a-like mug cozy I planned to make for Easter. Haasje, our Flemish Giant is my youngest daughter's bunny, so of course she wanted the mug cozy. I had to make it brown, though, just like Haasje.   www.betweennapsontheporch.net   ~*~ My oldest daughter has a cat, Dolly (yes, named after Dolly Parton, I'm a fan) and after making the bunny mug cozy above for my youngest, I remembered just in time a crochet cat I had pinned a while ago, because she really wants it. It's from Dr Seuss ( pattern here ). See you next week, together with the ca...
