Dinosaur Magnum Opus

As some may know I recently taught myself to crochet more then just a flat square of sorts. I started with this little weird guy....

 Then jumped head first into the crazy world of amigurumi. Google it they are SO cute :D I decided almost the second I saw this T-Rex pattern Zeke must have it for his Easter basket! So we went and picked out some beautiful 100% cotton yarn By sugarncream!! SOOO yummy!! :D Then I set to it. He took me about 5 days to finish. His head was almost the death of me. I had to rip it up and redo it about 15 times. BUT I finally got it done!! I am so impressed with how cute he is! I just want to gobble him up! So here is Rexy!! In all his fierce glory!

I REALLY hope Zeke likes him!! I'll add pictures of Zeke with all his homemade yummy goodness after he gets it on Easter!!

I used this t-rex pattern

and added spikes by doing this- 

Round 1:  3 sc in a circle
Round 2:  Ch 1, 6 SC in loop.
Round 3:  (1 SC in next, 2 SC in next) 3 times  [9 SC]
Round 4:  1 SC in each SC  [9 SC]
Round 5:  (1 SC in next 2, 2 SC in next) 3 times  [12 SC]

Round 6:  1 SC in each SC  [12 SC]

I'm not 100% if I worded the spike pattern right, as I am new at this. If anyone has any questions just ask :)

Monsters, Robots and Dinosaurs Oh my!

I've been crafting away as of late just going and going and going! I found this phenomenal web site cut out and keep and the inspiration has just been flowing. I've signed up for my first swap since I got jipped over and over on cafemom. SIGH! I hope it goes well! They seem to keep a lot closer tabs on the swapping histories. Any how with out to much ado...

I did a love story spin off of the Dinobot love that I made some years ago, if you've never been to my house the original "poster" is this. 

  And here is the new addition to the story adding some monsters :) 

I also have been HUGE into cutting up T-shirts again! OMG totes made of epic shirts = ♥

And clothes are even better! So with out too much introduction a T-skirt!

  Yoga T-shorts!

 Big D and the Kids table never looked so cool ;)

And a coupple of yoga skirts :)

Well, thats all I've been up to this week :) Hopefully I can go teach myself how to crochet a ball now for my new swap partner :) and of course when the package is complete I will post all those yummy crafts!
