Crocheted winter hat for Tristan

How cute does Tristan look in his new home made crocheted winter hat!!! Im so happy this fit him so well, and I hope he gets good use out of it this winter. I also made him a pair of mittens and Tristans Mom told me she'll get a picture of them too and send them my way.

This hat was so easy and I just love the ear flaps. Makes perfect sense, you want to keep your ears warm when your outside. I used Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn. I got this pattern on the free pattern site for Lion Brand yarn. Check it out if your looking for a quick and easy childs hat pattern!!

NY Giants Osi the Teddy Bear

Well, before you scroll down and look at the pictures of Osi the bear let me explain a little..lol. My brother Rusty can be a perv when he's over my house putting my cute innocent stuffed animals in compromising positions along my couch. Like any typical man...he thinks that's very very funny!! I've been making him this teddy bear for about a month now and was talking to my boyfriend Kevin about maybe stuffing the pants as a joke before I gave it to Rusty. Kevin had the brilliant idea of crocheting Osi anatomically correct!!! So I did =). I nearly wet my pants laughing so hard crocheting Osi the proper 'package'..LOL. I think for my first time crocheting one of these, I didn't do too bad of a job. Its not like theres a pattern for that!! I cant wait to give Osi to Rusty at his re-opening of his condo party next Saturday!! Im going to let Rusty find Osi's package himself...it is quite obvious when you see him in person!! LOL

Overall, this pattern wasn't too hard. I did find it tricky sewing the pieces together after they were stuffed with polyfil. The head seems a bit wobbly, but its the best I could do. I think he'll make a great addition to Rustys Giants collection, and maybe now he'll stop trying to steal the Giants bear I have.
