Tater Family


This is also for my nephew...my mom actually inspired this one. They nicknamed their baby "tater" before having a name and so here is the "tater" family:)

Christmas Sleeper


I made this for my new little nephew expected for delivery any time now:)

Mouse in Stocking Christmas Ornament


These are ornaments that I re-created from the original ornament that my granny Perkins made. I was so thankful that my sister let me borrow it so that I could make the pattern and some for myself. The original is on the right and also pictured below.



And here is the re-creation. I have a couple of these in my Etsy shop.

Princess Monster Contest


So I have debated on naming these little beauties in my product lineup and after a friend also suggested that I name them, I have decided to have a contest. The winner for each doll name will be able to choose a Princess Monster product of choice (doll, hat, or set of hairclips) or can substitute anything else that they have seen on my blog of equal or lesser value. I will take submissions until November 6th so you have 2 weeks. Please email them to princessmonstercrochet@gmail.com and put NAME CONTEST in the subject box. Good luck and pass this on to anyone else who might be interested!

Super Mario in crochet!




Here's the Toad hat for Jacob


And Luigi for Benjamin



My son decided to be Mario for Halloween and I thought, "I can do that!" It's complete with the mustache too:) A long sleeved shirt and overalls and I am getting away with one of the easiest Halloween costumes ever!

Race Car Slippers

I wrote about these on my family blog but realized I needed to post it here too. I have 3 birthdays in 6 weeks with my boys (not planned that way!) and I had been making booties and slippers. Matthew got one of the soles and started racing it around so he inspired me to make these. These are the ones I made for Jacob's 4th birthday.



And these are Matthew's for his 2nd birthday!

I will be sure to post Evan's in a couple of weeks:)

Princess Monster Hat

I did a little mini princess monster in the center of the flower.

Turtle Beanie




My updated turtle beanie that I did with Vanna's Choice and some cute little safety eyes that I had left over from another project.

















Someone on Etsy asked if I could make a beanie based on the amigurumi turtle and here is what I came up with!

Princess Monster Line

I have had these things in the works for a while and there are more things to come but this is a start. My Princess Monster line of dolls and things!











These are puppets that you can slip over 4 fingers.



Here is a winter hat that I embroidered a Princess Monster onto with felt and yarn.
