craftgrrl | Chinchilla Hammocks and a few other projects.

I posted some chinchilla hammocks I made a long time ago, but I've since made a few more. I thought I would share them and a few other projects I've been working on lately.

I always have trouble finding cute prints on polar fleece, which is the only chinchilla-safe fabric, so when I do find some I tend to stock up.

This one is my favourite, but I ran out of grommets so I have to make a trip to the store before I can finish it.

This is my chinchilla Lenore with a monkey hammock I made a while ago.

I've also been knitting a lot lately. I'm still a new knitter, so it's nothing complicated, but I've been really happy with the results.

My first knitting project, a scarf. I'm sorry this picture isn't the greatest.

This was my second project. It's the Slouchy Copy Cat Hat by Terra Jamieson. I knit it a bit too tight so it isn't really slouchy. I really need to learn to knit a little looser.

Right now I'm knitting socks using the Beginner Socks pattern by Knitting Pure and Simple.

I've been working on some necklaces using Antique Keys I've found at Flea Markets.

I've also been sewing a lot of tote bags, mostly as gifts.

I love cute linings so I always sneak some in.

A few other things I've made recently..

I decoupaged some scrap booking paper onto these Ikea drawers to make them a little nicer to look at.

I made some cute stuffed walnut ornaments before Christmas.

I also made Rudolph gift bags for Christmas.

And I tried my hand at cross stitch. The quote is one of my favourite lines from Gilmore Girls. I really loved the style of the cross stitch kits from Subversive Cross Stitch, but I really wanted to use this quote so I made up my own in a similar style.

Sorry if this post was incredibly long. I've been crafting a lot lately and I don't post much, so I had a lot to share. Thanks for looking!
