How to Crochet a Doll Blanket - Yo-Yo Method

15 more days until Christmas! Are you ready? Well, if you are still looking for that last special gift for a person who loves dolls, I have just the thing for you!



I decided to create a Christmas blanket that is quick and easy to crochet. It uses up some of those old balls of yarn that are laying around. And, it has that perfect Christmas season touch. Don't believe me? Check out my video below!







If you are interested in seeing the free written pattern I used to create my version of a doll blanket you can check out the link here http://priscillascrochet.net/free%20patterns/X%20Afghans%20and%20Tree%20Skirts/Primitive%20Pines%20Yo-Yo%20Afghan%20&%20Christmas%20Tree%20Skirt.pdf.



Of course, Priscilla went and made a beautiful afghan and tree skirt with her motif, which I just adore. But, being I am all about crafting for dolls, I stopped with just one of her seasonal trees.



I hope you enjoy this craft and find the time to make it before the holiday. If you do have any questions, please leave a comment for me below.



Also, if you made a blanket from this pattern, I would love to see it! Please leave me a link to a post you made on your blog, or let me know if you have posted it to Twitter or Instagram. You can also upload a picture on my Facebook page. Whatever works for you!



Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!

Golden Retriever Puppy Makes a Christmas Ornament (A Minute of Biscuit #13)

So has everyone had fun Christmas shopping this year? I kicked off my holiday shopping on Black Friday. I made a handful of purchases for gifts, but I also found some time to pick things up for myself and Biscuit! Watch the video below to see what I got!







Of course the ornament didn't turn out as well as I thought it would. I become disappointed when a craft project doesn't look like that on the box. But, it will work out for this Christmas season until I can find another ornament to replace it. However, I do like the clay for molding and free shaping other ornaments. It was not a good clay to press down with and dry though. Not like the plaster ornaments I had made in school!



So, have you ever done a craft project with your dog before? It can be for either a holiday like Christmas or a just because creative kind of day. Let me know in the comments below.



Thanks for watching and have a Merry Christmas!

A Minute of Biscuit #12 - Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

It's a snow day! Yeah!!! So, it was a great day for Biscuit and I to romp around outside. And... to build a snowman! Do you want to watch us build a snowman? I sure hope you do!







As you can see, Biscuit was getting the hang of it. Even though she is 2 years old and this is her third winter, we have never built a snowman before. This is because we never had much snow in the past two winters she has been with us. Because of all this snow, we are hoping to get some more videos of us playing in it. Maybe sledding is in the future? I know that my brother has had is snowmobile sit in the shed for the past few years. So, if he can get that running, I will try to get a minute of Biscuit of the snowmobiling we like to do in our Minnesota winters.



Thanks for watching!
