Party incognito

My 2 nieces and 2 nephews are on summercamp. They love to get mail while they are there so I always try to send 'em something. I never send them a regular letter but always try to think of something fun. This year I found inspiration at Tara's blog. Tara, also known as Mamachee, is my crochet teacher in Alaska. Jip, weird but true. She taught me how to do it when I made my first pair of slippers.

Anyway, Tara has a fun blog called 'easymakesmehappy' and that is exactly what it does to me: it makes me happy! A while ago she posted a PDF-file on mustaches and I made one the other day to take to a party and it was a big hit.
I decided to make a party-pack with lots of party stuff and I included a mustache for my nieces and nephews. I hope they will love it & will move about incognito at the summercamp! :) Give it a try, it's really fun to make!

Vicki, I bought a slipper pattern off her on Etsy and kept stalking her with all my questions via e-mail and she kept on helping me until I made it. It took me about 4 weeks to finish my first pair I believe. And still now, if I have any crochet question, she's there for me to help me out! :)
So, distance does not matter one bit! ;)

I made some as pencil toppers for my sister who recently got her Master's in Child Psych. She will have a class room someday and she loved them so much!

What a great idea! My niece and nephews are still a bit to young to appreciate gifts like this, but I made a mental note for a few years to come.

Fantastic fun. All my nieces and nephews (20 something) even the adults would enjoy these.
