The last 7 animal blocks are done! and yes, one of the zebras has a mistake but I saw it when everything was sewn together so I didn't want to rip everything apart... I think it's not too visible and it makes her a little different ;)

These are the two quilt tops (40'' x 60'') that I will donate to charity!
I think they are very me (scrappy, funky, with many different styles, fun)!
I hope the recipients will enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed making them!!!

This is my first wearable crochet project ever! And considering that I am not an experienced crochet person I think I did a great job!! They are not perfect (there are some mistakes here and there) but I didn't want to undo big pieces of work just to fix a few wrong stitches counts :)

Button-Cuff Boots (by Darla Sims)

I made few changes to the pattern, because you know, that's just me, I cannot follow a pattern without making my own modifications:

1. I made the top part with only 15 rounds instead of 22... because I was tired :) and I thought 15 rounds were enough to fold it and look nice. Having been using them for a while, I have to say that it's actually better to have that fold shorter because it's kind of tricky to put them on and a bigger fold would have made the operation harder. So 15 rounds was a win-win choice!
2. I made the top using different colors because I wanted to test how white/variegated blue and dark red/variegated pinks looks together. I am making another project so I wanted to see which one I like the best... these are my slippers so even if they are not "well coordinated" it doesn't matter :)
3. I didn't put the buttons... because sometimes I wear them as socks (with the fold up) so buttons wouldn't be good for that
4. crochet slippers and hard wood floors are NOT a good combination (super slippery slippers are not what you want). However the fix is super-easy: I bought one of those mat to put under carpets to make them stable on hardwood floors, I cut few rectangles and I stitch them on the front/heel of the sole. That's it! Now I cannot make them slide on my floor even if I want to!
   I am not sure about the durability of those pieces, but honestly, who cares! I still have a full rug of that material so I can always replace them!

I had so much fun making those! They are warm but your feet can breathe because of the spaces between stitches: perfect combination for cool spring weather!
