Who doesn’t love a good chicken nugget? And how can ANYone resist a chicken nugget in the shape of a DINOSAUR?! We love them.
Everyone does, admit it.
So, when I found this crochet pattern to make little Dino nuggets, I thought to myself–but what if instead of being the size they are in real life–what if they could be the size we’d love them to be?!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The only thing missing here–is a big BITE out of the head.
BAhahaha!

Isn’t this the sweetest little baby turtle you’ve ever seen?
We have a sweet friend that LOVES turtles…
so when her birthday came around…
it was easy enough to find a darling pattern…
and whip this little fellow up.
Such a happy little turtle…
for a sweet friend.
When we were in Las Vegas, little Merrick asked me if I would make him a penguin.
Like any good Grammy–of course I said, “Anything for you my darling.” Yes, that’s just how I talk. Haha.
Once I was nearly finished with the little guy, Merrick asked for one more thing.
He asked if I could make it a Warrior Penguin with armor…
and could he have a sword…
that he can really hold?
I said, “Hmmmm, why yes. I bet I could.”
Love you Merrick.
Note: The basic pattern I used for this is Pin the Penguin by Vesnianka Patterns on Etsy
 Her name is Bluey.
In fact, this little Blue Healer puppy is so popular that my little granddaughter–Miss Fluttershy– tries to talk like her, and play games like her and…. ummmm…wag her….ummm…tail like her. She even had a Bluey birthday party with all the trimmings.
So, when I found this pattern online at Monoxa Crochet Toys I was really excited to try it. I changed a few things–just because I wanted to–but it turned out just like I hoped it would.
I believe it was a hit. I can just see our girl smiling and…
wagging her tail.Â
Hee hee.Â
Another birthday we have this month is our little month is our sweet little Lily. She asked if I could make the Pokemon character named Skitty for her. There are some really clever people in this world–and I’m not one to reinvent the wheel…so to speak. So, I found the perfect pattern at Sabrina’s Crochet. Thanks Sabrina, for saving me time–and well, just saving me–if you know what I mean.
Yeah, I know. Pokemon are very strange creatures. But this one wasn’t so bad, in fact it was dang fun…
and not nearly as weird as some of them that I’ve seen.
Thank Heaven no one has asked me to make something, you know… creepy.
But then, I’m not finished yet.
Haha.
