FDbyK4TT - Famous Dino CAL : Part I

My Daughter's Birthday is upcoming.. and while I do not sell trademark/familiar characters, I still make them occasionally.  And it would be a shame to let this design go to waste...
So, what's a Mom to do? 

Do a CAL (Crochet A Long) and let you share in the project as well.
I hope you enjoy!
This CAL is a little different in that you know which character you are making before hand - so it's not a surprise, only a project that is done together!

CP53: 12 Days of Christmas 2018 (Harry Potter Theme)

"... the Golden Snitch, and it's the most important ball of the lot. It's very hard to catch because it's so fast and difficult to see. It's the Seeker's job to catch it. You've got to weave in and out of the Chasers, Beaters, Bludgers, and Quaffle to get it before the other team's Seeker, because whichever Seeker catches the Snitch wins his team an extra hundred and fifty points, so they nearly always win. 
That's why Seekers get fouled so much. A game of Quidditch only ends when the Snitch is caught, so it can go on for ages "
~Oliver Wood

And you can't very well celebrate the Harry Potter series, without recognizing the wizarding world's most favorite sport - Quidditch!

For the Dogs...

Everyone always tells me - you don't do "dog" toys..
Well, I do... you just don't know I am using it as a "dog toy".
My beasties love when I make mistakes on my amigurumis.  When something just isn't working as it should - sometimes it gets 'frogged' - most times, it becomes a toy.

The Max Beast loves the KISS Series the best as he can shake them and run with them and just be a big ole bruiser.  His sister loves the rounder, ball like things - like a doll head I started to design and then abandoned.

But here's one that leaves no question who it's for.

Love Lives On

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,

and cherished memories never fade

because a loved one's gone.

Those we love can never be

more than a thought apart,

far as long as there is memory,

they'll live on in the heart.

Lullaby and Goodnight

Lullaby, and good night, in the skies stars are bright

May the moon, silvery beams, bring you with dreams

Close you eyes, now and rest, may these hours be blessed

Till the sky's bright with dawn, when you wake with a yawn

Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight

I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms

  ~ as performed by Jewel/'09 Album Lullaby

Remember when monsters were REAL and things that went bump in the night had fangs and claws? Yeah, it's been a while - now most of the monsters have 2 legs and capped teeth.  But my own childhood, what a glorious time to be a kid, when The Boogieman was just about the only thing a good kid really had to worry about!

It's 1982 and Hasbro made those all those horribles of the night disappear, with the debut of their Glo Worm nightlight toy.
For those who are too young to remember and those who've never heard of a Glo Worm, their little heads were made with a special plastic, that allowed them to glow in the dark. They had a plush body (that encased the battery pack) making the Glo Worm the first nightlight that a child could cuddle with as they fell asleep. Told you it was great to be a little kid in the 80's!

This sweet little bug became a staple in many a child's bedroom and those scary monsters lurking in the dark, were no match for Glo Worm’s glowing cuteness.
Well, they say, all thing come back around, and this little bug was the inspiration behind the newest addition to the FiberDoodles by K4TT Pattern Library.
Introducing Snuggle Bug and Blanket.

This sweet little plush is perfect for your toddler to cuddle with on those stormy nights, when the monsters still lurk outside windows - or while just laying in the light and watching television.  These vivid colors, although not battery powered, are positively charged with smiles and good feelings. Sold as a set (blanket and bug) or separately (Snuggle Bug single or Snuggle Blanket) this soft little cutie is bound to not only bring back memories, but to help create fond ones as well!
