My coworker friend really liked the cacti trio that I took and put in my office:
And she commissioned me to make her a trio for her office! So here’s her trio:
You can see that I made an exact same barrel cactus, but the other two are different:
This cactus with purple flowers doesn’t have a pattern specifically, I just used the techniques from the barrel cactus pattern and added the little flowers.
This little succulent does have a free pattern (click here), although I added more petals than the pattern says.
I think my coworker’s trio turned out super cute! I do apologize for the photos being a bit blurry — they had to be taken late at night so that I could take them to work in the morning.
I’ve also made a dragon egg dice bag for my husband, who plays a couple of games that require irregular die:
As you can see it uses the crocodile stitch that is so popular right now for those mermaid tail blankets, and let me tell you, this stitch is a wool eater! I just used cheap Red Heart that I had lying around for amigurumi figurines. When you cinch the drawstring it begins to look like an actual egg, even like the ones from Game of Thrones:
It’s a tad misshapen here because it’s laying on its side and isn’t cinched up all the way, but you get the idea. I think it turned out pretty well!
I’m still working on a couple of things that I will share soon, as well; I’ve had busy hands! Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!

Gorgeous! I love the cacti trio. They’d be great for me, I could kill a plastic daffodil… 😉

Hehe I’m with you there — I managed to kill an aloe plant once. I figured fake ones would be perfect for me. 🙂

As you know I love your cacti. I seriously believe the brain will be energized in the work place by them. The dice bag.? BRILLIANT! Thank you for the tip that croc stitch is a yarn eater. When I try it I will ensure I have plenty of yarn. 😄

Thanks! Yes definitely plan to use lots of yarn for it, it’s kind of ridiculous, hehe.
