Crochet Lalaloopsy Shoes

I'm very excited to share with everyone my very first crochet pattern I made. Whoo-hoo! :-D Let the parade begin! Lol

This pattern is shoes for the 13 inch Lalaloopsy dolls. I have gotten into sewing for these dolls recently and thought they needed some shoes to go along with the dresses I am making them. Thus the shoe pattern was born! The shoes are very easy to make and work up quick. The pattern also allows you to mix it up however you want. I hope you enjoy making these shoes as much as I have.

What you need:
- 3.75 mm crochet hook
- yarn (I used Red Heart yarn. Leftovers from past projects work great, too.)
- needle
- embroidery floss

Glossary:
- single crochet (sc)
- Back Loops Only (BLO)
- stitch (st)
- single crochet 6 together (sc6tog)

Shoe Pattern (make 2) -

Chain 7

1) Sc in 2nd chain from the hook. Sc in each st across.Continue to sc on opposite side of the chain. (12)

2) Sc on BLO around (12)

3) Sc in each st (12)

4) Sc in the next 3 stitches, sc6tog, sc in the next 3 (7)

5-14) Sc in each sc (7)

Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Now take your embroidery floss and thread up the shoe like you were doing a real tennis shoe. Once at the top, tie the floss in a bow. I also knotted mine so they wouldn't come undone. Cut the ends Now you are done! :-D

Congratulations! You have made your own Lalaloopsy shoes for your doll!

Variations:

- Add stripes

- Contrasting color shoe laces

- Crochet lace to the top

- Make the shoe shorter or taller

Kit's Oatmeal with Peaches

This is probably my favorite recipe. Eating rolled oats taste so much better that the packaged instant. It does take a little getting used to but it is so good! Especially with fresh peaches in it(My favorite way to eat oatmeal,now). Dried fruit also tastes really good in it,too! We,also, added some brown sugar to sweeten it. We have made homemade oatmeal before,but since we made this we have been eating only rolled oats(not the packaged instant). So yummy!

Kit's Roast Beef and Potatoes

Our next recipe was Kit's Roast Beef and Potatoes. This was another easy recipe and great for the family. I guess it would have to be since it was the Great Depression. I liked this meal it was very filling and warm. It would make a great winter and autumn meal. We also made the glazed carrots(also from Kit's Cookbook). They were very good!
