FO Friday, 6.8.12

Good Morning!
Glad I can share some finished items today as I don't see much crochet in my future *tear* as I have about 1800 photos to edit between a few different events and Kevin & I were just commissioned to create a 24"x30" Lego Mosaic. Will definitely post pictures of both as they progress.

However I do have two FOs to share with you today. First is the baby blanket my coworker asked me to fix. It was her daughters first baby blanket as the hospital gave it to her when she was born. Their little Jack Russell apparently thought it was his though because he chewed his way right through it then had a ball pulling and unraveling it.

From This

To This

I deliver it today at work. There may be some tears.

I also finished Peter the Police Officer Dinosaur, packing him up and shipping him out today :-) He is a joint Father's Day/Gift for Baby for one of my sorority sister's husband & child. Pretty sure he will be loved by all of them.

That's it for today (at least I think it is, my brain has been fried lately). Have you finished anything this week? See others who have finished items over at Tami's Amis!

Also Showing my Stuff with Just Winging It

Peter the Police Officer Dinosaur

It's awful lonely being the only Dinosaur in Turner, Maine. So after watching some late night 9-1-1 reruns he decided that he wanted to become a Dino Cop. He is now hoping to make some new police officer buddies in Brunswick, Maine.

WIP Wednesday, June 6th 2012

Welcome to another WIP Wednesday! 
On the hooks I have a so-close-to-being-finished Brontosaurus from FreshStiches.

Today is the first day in what seems like forever that I have actually been able to take a photo outside! We have had soooooo much rain that roads are out, rivers are flooding, and our dog KC has been perpetually wet (and stinky).


Please ignore the overgrown rock wall and patchy grass in the background... Anyone want to trade landscaping for crochet work??


As for non-crochet WIP I have started to edit/enhance wedding photos from Joe & Julie's wedding.

Love, love, love this photo, however wish I knew the Bible better so that I could find a passage about love & marriage for these sort of shots. Anyone know a good passage I could use in the future?

So what are you working on this week? Follow along with other WIPs with the creator of WIP Wednesday Tami over at Tami's Amis!
