Finally a new pattern finished! A friend of mine asked me to make Shark Dog. I never realized how popular this show was until she asked. My son had been watching Shark Dog that same day and I thought it was just a coincidence. But then I heard my daughter talking about Shark Dog at school with her friends. I had never made a shark before and I am glad I made him because he turned out so cute! I ended up making my son one and my daughter wants one too! If you would like to make him the pattern for sale is here: Shark Dog Pattern. If you end up making him, please send me pictures of your creations and I will post it in my next blog post. Happy crocheting!

Having a daughter allows me to create more girly things. I never did when I was younger and my daughter loves everything girly. I have recently began making her crocheted headbands. Below are examples of the ones I have made so far. More will come in the future. Might even make clip versions. Let me know if you want to purchase one you see. If you make a custom order please allow me about a week to finish it. Prices are posted below on the pictures.
