One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish

I was waiting to finish the clutch before posting again. Right now the clutch is ready for the final step, sewing the insert.There it will remain for a while. I have been in a frenzy crocheting new projects and expanding my skills. I will post about some of my new projects with the promise that when I finish the clutch I will post it and complete the tutorial. Hopefully it is sooner rather than later as the clutch is perfect for the fall.

September has been a happy month! I welcomed my nephew, Elliott, into the world a couple weeks ago and have been working on Elliott inspired works ever since. 

E is for Elliott!

The first project was Alphabet Blocks. This was the first and after making it and playing with it, I decided to make the other blocks smaller. I am also making all the squares for all the blocks before crocheting the squares together. Six sides times seven blocks equals 42 blocks! I am about a quarter of the way done.

The other project I am working on is a water themed mobile for Elliott's crib. This is the second mobile I have made. For my niece I made a bird inspired mobile. It was hard work, but the end result was worth it. This time I am working without a pattern. I hope that it comes out and my nephew will fall asleep dreaming of happy fish and colors. The plan is to have fish, turtles, bubbles and attached to a corral base at the top. Fingers crossed I can pull it off!
