Crochet snail - free pattern

This is my pattern for a mini crochet snail. You can use any type of yarn or hook. I used the yarn with 2 threads.

The shell (with yellow)
r1 - ch 6, sl st to make a ring, ch 1
r2 - 2 sg in each st - you have 12 st, sl st into the firs, ch 1(cont it as the first st for the next row)
r3 - *2sg in the first st,1 sg*, repeat from **, you have 18 st, sl st with green color into the first.

The body and the head (with green):
r4 - ch 4, 1sg into the second st from the hook, 1sg into the next 2st, sl st into the base of the chain, sl st into the next 4 yellow st from the shell, ch 4, (1sg , 1sg, ch 1, 1sg, ch 1, sl st ) into the second st from the hook, 1sg into the next 2 st, sl st into the base. Fasten off and leave a long tail.

The tentacles:
To make tentacles, pull the tail until the head, fasten off and make 2 knots at the ends - these will be the eyes. You can add some beads to make eyes.

Your snail is done.

This is a red snail with some beads on the shell.

And a blue one with green beads on the shell.

I want to use my snails on a T-shirt. Or on a canvas bag. If you have another ideas, leave a message. I'm so glad if you give me a feedback.

My first sewing Meow. It's not perfect, but it was a nice project at my sewing machine. My pattern is mine, completely mine.

Hmmmm.... What should I try to sew? Something easy, easy....

In the snow.

Purple slippers - Frozen slippers

First, I made these slippers with some purple yarn that I had. But my 7 years daughter said they are ... Frozen. She loves the movie and the characters, Elsa and Ana, and all day long she is singing like them.

It's not my pattern. I used a pattern from Craftsy. I made the smaller size, but the slippers are not so perfect for my daughter. I have to try them again. But she likes them. 

Then we painted together Elsa. It was fun in a Sunday morning. 

Do you like Frozen?

Diaper Cake How to Make

My first diaper cake. For a sweet little baby boy.

With a Teddy Bear on top.

I used: a champagne, blue ribbon, a plastic plate, diapers, toys, blue thread.

First layer - around the bottle.

I tied them with blue thread.

Second layer around the first one.

The second row.

The third row on the top. It's done. Now the decorations.

Blue ribbons and blue bows to hide the thread and for a nice touch.

Some silver paper stars on the ribbon.

Teddy Bear on top. A pacifier and a bath turtle on the sides. 

Easy peasy. You can do it too.

Cinnamon Heart Christmas Ornaments

We don't have in Romania applesauce. But I love cinnamon Christmas ornaments, so I made a recipe without applesauce. It's so easy and your kids will love the entire process.

 

You need:
-250 g grounded cinnamon
-4 tablespoon glue
-1 and 1/5 cup of warm water (or more if your mix is to dry)
-6 tablespoon oil

First I mixed up the glue in warm water and poured it over the cinnamon.

I made a dough and me and my 7 years daughter roll a sheet.

We used her dough cutters to cut the cinnamon ornaments.

I made a hole for the ribbon.

And some curly lines.

We let them to dry.

Merry Christmas.
