A Little Monkey for A Little Monkey!.....and Catch Up!

Happy 4th Birthday Owen!!

My grandson Owen is so cute and expressive in his facial gestures.

Mallory picked out a crocheted monkey for me to make for his birthday.

 

I haven't posted for awhile so you won't know this,

I don't really believe in New Years Resolutions,

but I went on and made one this year.

I would make and have them done on time,

homemade gifts for each of my 14 grandkids birthdays this year.

 

I've got 4 down and 10 more to go for the year. 

 

 

Here's what I made for Owen

A Monkey for A Little Monkey!

I bought the pattern on Etsy from Luvly-Gurumi's shop.

The pattern was easy to make and great instructions. 

 



 

I also made Owen a little car case.

I updated this version with 2 roads.

I learned a few things from making the first one and so this one was a little easier to make.

 

 

and now here's Owen 

 Happy Birthday Owen!

 

 

 

....and Catch Up!

 

In January we had 3 grandkids with birthdays.

The second set of  twins, Leigha and Liam turned 5.

I had fun with Liam's toy.  Making it and playing with it in the process.

 

So first is Leigha's cupcakes.  I crocheted her a set of 6 yummy cupcakes.

I just went with the flow and designed my own cupcakes.

I think they turned out pretty darn cute! 

 

 

and a cupcake purse for Leigha's goodies. 

 

 

and the Birthday girl. 

 

 

 

and now for Liam's alligator. 

 

My grandma had made my older kids some animals when they were little

and I found the pamphlet on Etsy.  It is an Aunt Lydia's pamphlet.

The alligator is pretty much completely made of granny squares

....which I altered a little bit to my liking.

 

 

and here's Liam with his brother Austin playing with his alligator.

Hee!  Hee! 

 

 

 

Next we had Chad, Jr.s birthday.

Chad also turned 6 this year.

I made Chad a Minion and a little evil minion. 

 

I bought the pattern from Aradiya Toys on Etsy.

The evil minion I used part of her pattern and my own thing for part of it.

 

 

and here's Chad, Jr.

 

Enjoy Chad!!

 

 

Finally, I can't leave out my Jace who also had a birthday in January.

Jace turned 9 and he is a Pokémon Trainer now.

So I crocheted him so Pokémon Balls by just playing around

and looking at pictures of the balls online. 

and Jace opening a gift. 



 

 

I hope all the grandkids enjoy their gifts from Nana

and Jace from his Mama.
