My Christmas gifts

Here are the pictures I promised of my christmas gifts. Enjoy!

A flower wreath for my Godmother:

The pattern can be found on the Attic24 blog linked here. She uses her own little picot flower pattern, I used her crochet flowers and leaves pattern. The bow I made up myself by just making a long chain, turning and double chaining all the way back. Then I had a "ribbon" of sorts and I just played with it until I got something that looked like a bow. Haha, this is how I craft... I added a bit of yarn to the back so that it created a hook to hang it up with. I hope she loves it as much as I do!

Snowflakes for my sister-in-law:

I read the pattern wrong when I made my first snowflake sometime ago and used US dc instead of UK dc as instructed in the pattern (also Attic24, link here). They turned out bigger and I thought they were cute so I ran with it. I love the way they turned out in purples, my sister-in-law's favorite color. I hope she can find use for these on their Christmas tree or something.

My step-niece's cat:

 

It turned out really cute and I was easy to make but sheesh, the button eyes I put on are obviously wonky. Oh well. And the ears. Double oh well. I could make another one of these, it was a quite pleasant pattern. The link for this cat can be found here

Nephew #1's shark:

I'm almost too embarrassed to post this picture. It was a good try but this shark was a disaster from start to finish. Especially the finish. The fins all look stupid, not to mention I was so tired of this monster to even bother with the side fins. The teeth were a really sad joke and last minute attempt at something like teeth. I feel bad that lovely little nephew #1 got scheisted out of a nice present. I will have to make it up to him. Good thing this isn't the only present under the tree! The link for those brave enough to try this is here. I think something may have been lost in translation between me and this pattern. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nephew #2's owl

I've already posted about this sweetie owl. But here he is again! The link for him can be found here

 And what's this?! This is the owlish blue bird for nephew #3!

Smaller yarn --> smaller bird. He looks a little silly but he's cute in his own way. This is a pattern that started out the same as the owl above but I lost count and ended up winging the rest. (No pun intended, haha)

My sister's gifts:

I made her a pear, pattern found here and the same Attic 24 snowflakes, only as you can see, in blue. I love these too! 

 

 

 

 

Here are the ornaments for the mother-in-law:

 

The tree pattern can be found here

The snowman had his button eyes and nose hot glue gunned on but he turned out kinda cute in his own way... The pattern for him can be found here on the Bernat website (membership required).

 The white snowflakes are also the same as above.

Lastly, the one and only brother's gift:

Mario mushroom to remind him of the hours we spent as kids playing nintendo with each other. The pattern can be found here. Love it!

That's it for today, so happy to see all my projects again and hope you did too!
