DIY T-Shirt Dog Leash

Two Little Cavaliers used some old t-shirt fabric to give a dog least a cute makeover. I love the texture and uniqueness of this. I bet there won't be any other dogs with the exact same leash!

Jenny and Teddy Creations Amigurumi and Past Giveaway Winners

.

One crafty technique I wish I knew how to do was crochet. Because if I could crochet, then I could create these cute softies (amigurumi) using the patterns from Jenny and Teddy Creations.


My kids would love to have some of these animals. Right now, my son would adore the frog.

My daughter would be absolutely delighted with ones of these little girls with dark brown hair.

I think the pig with a button nose is just too cute!

The prices for these very reasonable. If you buy 3 patterns, you get them for $10. What a deal! With the patterns, you also receive permission to sell the final product. Is a small business in your future or just Christmas and birthday presents?
