Sorry I have been so long in posting!
I am trying to get back into the swing of things.
I have been working a lot...and not crocheting nearly as much as I'd like!

I thought I would share a few new things I have been working on in my spare time.
Picture
I found a picture of an owl similar to the green one on the end.  However, not being able to find a pattern, I came up with my own.
I have made a least a hundred of these little guys.  They have been many many gifts to family and friends. 
I also had many go with a nurse to Mexico for operation smile! 
i have expanded my colors of the owls since this pic was taken to include grey...and brown.  I will post a pic when I get more made up!

My other FAVORITE new project......
Picture
again, I found one similar to the multicolored elephant online... again...no pattern.  I made the striped one first, and my obsession for elephants exploded from there.  I have made easily 50+ elephants.    (more photos to come)
These 2 do not have the safety eyes, however, That is what I use 99% of the time so they are baby safe.
I love the fact that I crochet the trunk, head, and body all as one piece.  There are only 8 pieces to these little guys.
I can make the trunk longer also, so its more of a handle for little kids.
Everyone who has received one of these, absolutely loved it.  They are easy to fall in love with!

Hello Kirsten, your patterns are very, very cute. I am crocheting toys for our christmas-basar and it would be fine, to have the pattern of the little owls. Where can I get it.
Best regards Ulla

I love you makes and the number of them you make is incredible ;-) I found my way here through a group on FB where I was given a link to the little Owl's you have made which are super cute. I would LOVE the patterns for your Elephants and also the other Owl's with the chunky feet xxx Will you be sharing the patterns for these 2? xxx
