Happy Easter

I hope you all have a Happy Easter. We aren't doing anything this year. We are having ham for dinner, that's IT. I didn't bake, nothing... I just don't have the energy. About all I have energy for is crocheting. I managed to finish this Easter gnome. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.  My honest opinion is it's a lot of work. All the flowers, the ears, the bow, the arms and feet... The pattern says to crochet ten flowers for the hat. There is no way I was going to do that. I did five. I suppose I could fit ten on there, but... 

 Besides all the work, it is pretty cute when it's all done. I bought a bag of malted chocolate eggs and OMG there was like ten in the whole bag (inside the gnome). What the heck. Easter candy is so expensive, too! And we bought a bag of  "Classic" jelly beans. And they were Brach! Not one black jelly bean in the whole bag!? What the heck? I don't like black jelly beans, but my husband does. That's the whole reason he likes jelly beans is the black ones. I don't know what is going on.  Well Happy Easter anyway.

Still Trying To Catch Up..

Well, here's some more of what I meant to post about. A picture of the little "Doll botttles" I got at the Dollar Tree, for the little dolls I got there. 
This is a bunny in a sleeping bag. I got a magazine just for this pattern a couple weeks ago. It was a  lot of work but I finished it. I haven't embroidered a face on for a long time and I didn't like it. But I think it came out all right. 
And this is a Unicorn Doll outfit I finished. I thought it would fit my 12 inch doll but it didn't. So I tried it on a 15 inch doll I have. It's too big for her, too. Sigh...  It's a paid pattern, but it is also available for free on her blog.
Without the doll inside. I am going to have to get a bigger doll, I guess. This is for if I ever get a grandbaby (girl grandbaby). :)
And I crocheted these slippers, they are from the same magazine as the rabbit in the sleeping bag. I will most likely donate these to the reservation.
And, a doll dress I finished. (Technically it is not finished, I still have to do the waistband and sew closures on the top of the dress. I also did another one just like this, but smaller for a dollar tree doll. In a coral color. Ugh I can't find that picture so I will have to catch up with that one later, too.
 

Well, this isn't all the things I have finished. But I thought I would post them anyway. I can't keep up. Between being tired all the time and having to watch the dogs. Our internet is horrible and only works about half the month then we can't use it. This is the inside of a journal I made. I should have posted this one second.
This is the front. I made it around Valentine's Day in case you couldn't tell. :P
And a card I made out of some wrapping paper I thought was so cute. I cut out one of the snowmen and layered it on top of another snowman. I just printed the sentiment out.
                                                     And I made a matching envelope.
This is a cup caddy I made for my DIL. She sent me three hats she crocheted. I didn't even know she crocheted! So I made her a thank you gift. I also sent some little crochet things she could use: A small pair of scissors, stitch markers, I can't remember what else. 
This is a little flower keychain I crocheted. I saw a reel on Facebook and thought it was so cute. It didn't have a link so I went looking for a pattern and I found one on YouTube. It is a LOT of weaving in ends, and I would sew a backing on the back part to cover up all the sewing too. I bought some felt, but I still need to sew it on. I don't know who or why I made this keychain. Or what I will do with it.
Here's another keychain I finished. A little backpack. I got this one off Etsy. You can put a little hand sanitizer, or ChapStick, or whatever inside. I sent this to someone for an RAOK.
