One of my friends was given a kit to make this little fox and, because she doesn't crochet, she passed it on to me to create. He (she?) was a little fiddly to make and I ended up playing a rousing game of yarn chicken with the orange yarn. I won, but barely. Hopefully she's happy with him. Personally I think he looks pretty bedraggled.
And....the Resident Chef decided that we needed to have eggnog pie and this is the result...
If you want to make your own, he used THIS recipe.
- I know THIS is a pay-item, but it's absolutely awwww-worthy so I had to share!
- If you have an avid bird-watcher on your Christmas list, perhaps they would like THIS.
- Every year about this time I start to see the emergence of 'temperature' projects - either people posting about their finished projects or talking about starting one in the new year. Every year I contemplate doing one but then never do. Initially I thought that they were only done in knit or crochet using yarn and just the thought of the cost of purchasing that many different colours put me off. I have discovered that people are also doing them using cross stitch which is MUCH cheaper and would involve (mostly) less time each day. One example I found was THIS one but there are lots more to choose from if you would like to do one.
Today's quote..."People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used"
Oh, that's so cute!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about cute because I think he looks a little motley, but at least he's done.
DeleteThis is adorable. Never tried this type of pie. Thank you 😊 so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIf you like eggnog, you'll like the pie I think.
DeleteCute little fox!! Eggnog pie is new to me--it does sound good as I love eggnog--;)))mmmm
ReplyDeleteMy Father would add spirits and float whipped cream on the top--talk about getting into
the Christmas spirit, huh??? ;))))hugs, Julierose
The RC has made his own version of an eggnog pie simply by using a custard pie recipe and replacing the milk with eggnog. It's good that way too.
Deletethose little crochet kits are never generous with yarn - he's cute!!!
ReplyDeletewe've crocheted temperature afghans and i pieced a temperature quilt - Melissa crocheted a flower temperature afghan based on Dublin - it's pretty, but not very colorful cuz Dublin's highs and lows don't change much ... anywho, they were fun to make - cross stitch would, as you said, be a lot cheaper ... i think i'm gonna pass again in 2026, though.
I doubt I'll succumb to the temperature project but if I do I know it won't be done with yarn. I have tons of embroidery floss so that method wouldn't cost me anything to do.
DeleteWhat a fun little fox! I don't crochet, I'm quite sure the poor fox had looked like something else if I had tried! I've never made eggnog pie, sounds yummy. Yes to the quote.
ReplyDeleteThe fox was fun to make but I think he looks rather pitiful.
DeleteFun crochet item. I see so many lovely animal crochet projects. You did very well.
ReplyDeleteEggnog pie sounds very interesting, thanks for the link.
True quote.
God bless.
The little fox was fun to make but I'm glad I don't have to do another one.
DeleteOH I want to make the felted creatures but don't know if I could learn from just a kit. Probably impale myself. They are so charming and sweet just what I love
ReplyDeleteLeeAnna
This little guy was crocheted, not felted....I know what you mean though about impaling myself using those sharp felting needles.
DeleteThat's a cute little fox. The eggnog pie sounds like it might be kind of wonderful. Do you have a review?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the pie passes inspection for sure! If you like eggnog, I expect you'd like the pie.
