bacon and eggs

Here's the bacon. And eggs. I just stinkin' adore them!!!!  I kind of winged it to make them but have written it down if you want to play too.

Egg yolk:

1. ch 2, 6sc in 2nd ch, slst tog, ch1
2. 2sc in each stitch, slst tog, ch1
3. *sc, 2sc* around, slst and tie off leaving a long enough tail to sew to egg white

Egg white:

1. ch 2, 6sc in 2nd ch, slst tog, ch 1
2. 2sc in each stitch, slst tog, ch 1 (12)
3. *sc in 2 stitches, 2sc in next stitch* around, slst tog, ch1 (18)
4. *sc in 2 stitches, 2sc in next 2 stitches* around, sc in last 2 stitches, slst tog, ch1 (26)
5. *sc in 2 stitches, 2sc in next stitch* around, sc in last 2 stitches, slst tog, weave in ends (34)

Stuff and sew the yolk to the white.

Now the bacon! I chained 20, then did three rows of 3sc+inc, 3sc+dec. Then I wove a light thread through the stitches. 

Then serve them up on a plate! Pancakes - needs pancakes...

BLT needs bacon...

I made a couple "sandwiches" to add to Max's playfood. I've done the bread, lettuce and tomato... still need to make the bacon. That'll be on tomorrow's list along with eggs and waffles. Yes, this is too much fun! I hope he likes it all as much as I've enjoyed making it.  The pattern for these came from a book called Yummi 'Gurumi. I modified the bread to make it smaller, starting with 15 stitches instead of 19. Also used two crocheted layers with a layer of Timtex interfacing in between to make my slices thinner for little hands.

Play food play time

My grandson Max will be two at the end of April, and I'm working on a play market for his birthday. I made cupcakes - they are sooo cute, I'm thrilled with them. The tops come out from the cups so he can pretend he's making them. Here is the pattern I used. Lots of fun!

And then, to celebrate my creativity, I gave myself bright red toes

(or "Elmo Toes" as my grandson calls them!)
