Thank you to our granddaughter Evie (short for Evelyn) for suggesting the perfect name for this little elf ... Elfelyn. Love it!!

I hope Elfelyn's Christmas Message helps to brighten your day.

For the crocheters out there who might like to make a similar looking elf, I loosely followed this free pattern for the feet, legs, body, arms and hat. I made the head from my Bobo bunny pattern and the wig from this elf pattern. Elfelyn's green dress was made using a free pattern found here. 

All-in-all Elfelyn is mish-mash of crocheted parts combined to make one adorable little Christmas elf.

Plum Poppy Package

Recently while searching for Calico Critters crochet clothes patterns, I found this free crochet dress pattern by Felt Magnet. It was exactly what I needed to make a cute little top for Plum Poppy. I started with a multi-coloured mint green yarn which was lovely. Next I made a red one with white trim for Christmas then carried on making seven colourful tops in total - one for each day of the week.  

After finishing Plum Poppy's wardrobe, I pulled out my crochet cotton and tiny hooks to make dresses for our granddaughter's Calico critters. My Mom supplied tiny dome snaps for the back of the dresses. Working with a needle small enough to sew through the teeny tiny dome holes was a fiddly job indeed. 

I made three different multi-coloured dresses in two sizes - larger for 'mother' and smaller for 'sister'. Never having seen a Calico Critter, I guessed at sizing hoping they fit.

I took photos of all the clothes and Plum Poppy modeling a few of her outfits before packing everything into a box along with a few extra things like crochet dishcloths for our daughter and a Canadian-themed Christmas tree ornament for the family. A special Plum Poppy Package bound for Boulder, Colorado.

This Plum Poppy Package was mailed on a Tuesday with tracking. It arrived in less than a week, even sooner than expected. 

Giving crochet creations is one of my favourite things. I call it "sharing crochet love". Our daughter shared videos and photos of our granddaughter opening her Plum Polly Package ... so sweet.

Happily our granddaughter loves Plum Poppy and the dresses fit her Calico Critters perfectly.
