food, crochet, merriment
These little souls were born nice and politely in the big basket that Dali and I agreed upon weeks ago.
But this funny, free spirited cat of mine is never content to leave things–or babies–where they were yesterday.
So, out on the floor, in the corner of the storage room they go.
Whatever makes her happy I suppose.
Should have named her Gypsy.
If you’re a fan of Bluey–(and who isn’t?!) then you probably remember the adorable episode where little Bingo meets a tiny Leaf Bug.
Bingo is fascinated that the “leaf” is walking around. It’s a very touching episode and you should really watch it, if you haven’t already.
So, when I came across a pattern for the Walking Leaf–welllllll…. there was no getting around it. I HAD to make it.
Doesn’t it just have the cutest face?! I swear to you, I was giggling the whole time I was crocheting.
I mean–those eyes, that itty bitty smile…and…and…
those teensy, weensy little feet!!! Eeeeek!! Have you ever seen anything so cute in all your life?
As you may know–I’m not a huge fan of actual bugs. In fact, if I came across this critter in real life I would probably run away screaming like I’d been shot. But this little soft fluffy one would steal anybody’s heart.
especially mine…
and Bingo’s.

Jillian tried something new this year for her boy’s birthday. It was a family or group or company that puts on warrior parties. They are called Battle Birthdays.
They supply all the foam “swords” and shields and whatever else is needed for a bunch of battle games.
Now, you know perfectly well that all the people with any smarts about them stayed perfectly “put” undercover in the pavilion. No swinging swords and crazed warriors running around us.
Nope.
I will say though that it was fun to see all the enthusiastic engagement from the ummmmm….
grown men.
Apparently, this was their kind of kids party!
In fact, I almost lost track of the kids completely because it was so much fun watching the big guys.
I think we need to find out if these guys do more than just children’s parties. If they do…we should definitely book them a few more times…
if you get my drift.
Check out this adorable cake that Jillian made with the little sour patch warriors on the top!! She is soooo good at making whatever cake the kids want. It’s amazing.
Happy Birthday boy!
We sure love you.

These little guys are some of my very FAVORITE things to crochet because they come together real fast–and well…
they’re just so DANG CUUUTE!! I made three of each kind and I hope they sell OUT!! Haha.
Whatever I bring home from the Market will go in my shop at graciousrainshop.etsy.com
just as soon as I can stop playing with them myself! Hahaa.

My newest creation. The Ninja Turtles.
In case you’re wondering what my obsession is with alllll this crocheting.
I’ll tell you.
I did a very brave, possibly ridiculous thing a couple weeks ago. I applied for a booth at the Farmer’s Market in Lindon in September and was accepted!! From the moment I clicked “send” I’ve been panicking.
I’ve never done this before!
I have no idea how to do it!
I will need tons of help!
How will I make enough things in time?!!
It’s quite possibly time to freak out.
