Daffodil Spring Fairy Crochet Pattern

We moved this winter to the UK. It's great to see the spring coming. I see many daffodils everywhere. Most are planted and some are wild. I like this new pattern a lot. It's different from my previous patterns and was a great project.

The crochet pattern for the Fairy and Daffodils is sold on kandjdolls.etsy.com

The Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland

I've added the Mad Hatter pattern to my Alice in Wonderland set in my Etsy Shop. 

Alice in Wonderland Set

The White Rabbit, Alice and the Cheshire Cat are now available as a set in my Etsy Pattern Shop.

Cheshire Cat of Alice in Wonderland

The Cheshire Cat of Alice in Wonderland is complete. In my pattern shop on Etsy are now patterns for Alice, the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat.

Alice in Wonderland

Who has not read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? Alice falls through a rabbit hole and finds herself in an enchanted fantasy world. In this world she meets peculiar creatures. I have not made any of these creatures: if you like me to design the rabbit or Cheshire cat as well then please send a message to kandjdolls@gmail.com

The crochet pattern for Alice is available in my shops on Etsy and Dawanda.

Little Red Riding Hood

I tell the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood at bedtime to my children. To accompany the story I made the girl with the red cap. The pattern is available on kandjdolls.etsy.com

Elfy the Elf is finished

This is my latest. Just finished her today. She can take off her hat and boots. I made the boots in green as well.

Jazzy the Mermaid

Jazzy the Mermaid: this is the 3rd pattern finished in 6 days. How I can make so many in 6 days? I start but do not finish them. Need new ideas and like to work on a couple of projects. These last few days I managed to finish 3. Isn't she great? Now I have to start designing a turtle...More photos on Etsy.
