Mario Bros Characters

i think it started back when M got a Wii for Xmas, and got Super Mario Bros to go with it. and then sometime this summer (july?) M got MarioKart Wii. so here's what we've created with the various patterns out there:

M made a Mario:

and i made a Yoshi for my hubby (since he's Yoshi when he plays MarioKart

M is also in the process of making a Toadette and several Toads.

Crochet Crafts by M

i taught both my girls to crochet. M, my 11-year-old daughter, has made a few things that i wanted to showcase in this post.

her first ami was a Hello Cthulhu. i did the assembly, the wings, eyes and the bow, but she did the other parts. the head was the first part she ever really made....

then she tried a froggie....

the Flutterby was quite good:

and the Fungus/Mario Mushroom was excellent:

and she made a snail:


she really wanted to make a dragon too!
