For a blog that began life as a showcase for all things crafty, there sure has been a dearth of new handmade projects or ideas gracing these pages. Not for any lack of ideas or desire, time and patience are simply at a premium these days, leaving little room to squeeze in just one more extra endeavor. It takes a whole lot of effort to get yarn on my needles and hooks these days- Happily, my good friend Glauce provided all the inspiration necessary. Expecting her first child, her request for a mobile made with five soft, stuffed, amigurumi dinosaurs was impossible to turn down.
Mind you, this was way back in the late summer of 2011. It only took me a whole year to complete the whole thing, proving yet again that perhaps I’m not cut out to accept crochet commissions. Ever accommodating and understanding, Glauce still graciously accepted the finished piece to share with her now nearly one year old son.

Maybe I’m just over-analyzing this, but I think he likes it?
As luck would have it, Glauce is also hosting a big cookbook giveaway to celebrate the relaunch of her lovely website, and a copy of Vegan a la Mode is included! Be sure to enter and browse through this inspiring resource while you’re over there.
I think “like” is an understatement, he loves it! Look at how excited he is! So cute!
Too cute! Any patterns to share? :)
Oh yes, of course! The Triceratops and Pteranodon came from PlanetJune.com, and the other three I crocheted free-form.
When my daughter was younger, I would have given my right arm for one of these. They are the PERFECT little toy in every way! Seriously – handmade stuff like this is worth it’s weight in gold!
It was so worth the wait! They are gorgeous and my little boy loves them! Plays with them everyday. Can’t thank you enough, Hannah! (L)
I’m just so thrilled that he’s enjoying it. Thank you so much for being incredibly patient, it really was my pleasure! :)
Awww this is too adorable :)
Cheers

Yup…that mobile is definately kiddo approved :). I didn’t even know you did anything other than cook Hannah and I have been following you for a while now ;)
Yay! So pleased to see some of your craft projects again! And this one is brilliant! I love making stuffed animals for my little nephews, dinosaurs are a great idea.
Wow, that is SO CUTE!
“Like?” He loves it and it’s soooo cute, great job there! And the baby is at a good age to be able to play with his dino’s too.
SO cute!!! I’m majorly enamored.
That is way too cute for me to even process properly.
Too cute!
