Ribbit Ribbit - Froggy Patterns - Free Pattern Friday
Hope everybody had a safe and happy Thanksgiving! If you're not too stuffed from holiday yummies, you may enjoy this quick and easy pattern I ran across a few months ago on Jamie's Jems Blog. Jamie has been so kind to share her pattern for the Frog Camera Lens. Perfect for the photographer, or budding photographer, or perhaps a little goodie to fascinate your little one during a photoshoot. All you need is a K size hook, a hair tie/rubber band, some yarn and a little time.
Red Heart has a darling little pattern for a Princess and the Frog doll. I'm thinking stocking stuffers or maybe a nice baby shower gift?
Keep things nice and tidy for the frog lover in your life with this Frog Amigurumi Pouch by Character Crochet on Craftsy.
I'd love to see your take on these cool little patterns!

Cozy Mugs...Free Pattern Friday
I don't know about you, but I struggle finding a new or unique gift idea for my kids' teachers and therapists. As many of you know, I have 2 children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders and one who receives various therapies and interventions (but not because of Autism). This year, with my youngest little monkey in kindergarten and my oldest monkey back in public school, I counted a total of over 13 teachers and therapists. Some may say, well, just give the 'main' one a gift. In the world of special education, each and every one of these kiddos' teachers play an integral role in their education!!
This year, I am thinking of working up a few mug huggers for the teachers' coffee cups and maybe a little coffee mug and a pack of hot chocolate or single serve coffee. A few of my favorite patterns are the Snowman Mug Hug from Red Heart.
Red Heart has this cute Puppy Mug Hug also, for the puppy lover on your gift list!
My other favorite is the Coffee Hugger by Loop Leigh Loops. Sorry, this link is not free, but it's only $1.99. I have made it and it is simple and quick to work up!
Micah Makes has this cute pattern for a mug hug with coaster.
Let me know how these work up for you guys!

Free Pattern Friday - Amigurumi Robot
Here's another wonderful project I thought I would share with all you wonderful crafters. This is a super cute Amigurumi Robot designed by Allison Hoffman for Caron. I love this pattern because patterns that are for boys and girls are SO hard to find. The girls get all the cute stuff, but what about our precious little boys. They deserve fun & cute stuff too!
Enjoy!

Free Pattern Friday - Pillow Pal
All the rage with my little monkeys last Christmas was Pillow Pets. Holy cow! Do you know how hard it is to find a different Pillow Pet for each kiddo? Not to mention, my girls wanted the same one. Luckily, thanks to daddy monkey's patience and great eye for shopping, he was able to find the girls unicorn pillow pals in their favorite colors. Talk about one relieved momma monkey!
Wouldn't you know it, Red Heart yarns has a pattern for a Sock Monkey Pillow Pal! It would have been fantastic if I would have found this last year, but I'm happy to work on it this year.
Check out the link below for the pattern.

Enjoy!

Free Pattern Friday!
Hi Friends!
Life on this end has been super crazy! School for myself, preparing special needs plans (summer programs and school year) for my little monkeys with autism, and graduation for our oldest monkey has been keeping us on our toes. Things should be slowing down for the 8 Little Monkeys and I so I'll be able to update a little more frequently.
With the holiday weekend coming up, I'm sure many of you will be busy soaking up the sun and celebrating our wonderful nation's independence! Thank goodness for all the men and women who have made so many sacrifices to defend and protect us so that we have the freedoms that we enjoy today!
Speaking of freedom, our youngest little monkey, Audrey, has LOVED prancing around the house when watching one of my favorite shows, So You Think You Can Dance. Watching her reminds me so much of myself when I was a little. You know, a time when something you love gives you the freedom to do, say, and be whoever you want to be! Audrey is only 4, but man, that girl has some raw talent! (ok, so I'm a little biased) I wanted to give Audrey the gift of freedom that my family gave me - so I enrolled her in dance classes. She starts in a few weeks and I think I'm more excited than her. Aah, the joys of motherhood - getting to live vicariously through your kiddos.
In preparation for dance class, we have been discussing what ballerinas wear to class and how they fix their hair. As a surprise for Audrey's first day of ballet, I plan on giving her a special ballerina hair piece. I have to admit, a bun might be a struggle, so we have to do something special to encourage her. While searching for a cute bun cover, I came across this wonderful pattern by Teresa Richardson aka Crochet Geek.
Those of you who might have some quiet time inside, or maybe celebrating the freedom to crochet whenever and wherever you like you might try this out. I hope you all enjoy!
Wishing you all a safe & happy holiday!
