Freeform Crochet Pillow

Happy Friday Everyone!

I just finished a new Freeform Crochet project!

I had so much FUN over the last few months making each piece and then sewing them together to form this beautiful pillow!

Creating the back in a simple single crochet stitch was so relaxing after the intricacy needed to make the front.

Ta Da!

I just love how it turned out!

It looks perfect in my bedroom with the beautiful crochet afghan my sister made for me and the wool pug wall hangings I made a last year.

It is as soft as it looks!

Yipppeeee!

Tunisian Crochet - Fawn & Black Pug Dolls

Happy Friday everyone!

I am so excited to show you the two new pug dolls I just finished for my personal collection.

I had so much FUN making them!

I crocheted them using a Tunisian crochet hook for the bodies and then used my traditional crochet hook to make the facial features and limbs.

I just love how they turned out!

It is always so FUN for me to make a project without knowing what it will look like and then seeing them pop to life!

Thank you so much for always sharing in the excitement with me!

11 New Mother Bears are on their way to Africa!

Hi everyone!

Archie and I have been having FUN the last few months making new bears for The Mother Bear Project!

R-Chee & I love The Mother Bear Project!

All of these bears will soon be in the arms of wonderful children who will receive a big bear hug from us to them!

Here are some photos of Archie with the new bears for you to enjoy...

You can knit or crochet your bears with their wonderful easy and fun patterns.

The best part is that everyone can help these wonderful children through the Mother Bear Project even if you do not knit or crochet in lots of FUN ways!

We cannot wait to make more bears for The Mother Bear Project!

You can read all about The Mother Bear Project, its founder, Amy Berman, and all the wonderful ways we can contribute to their charity even if we do not crochet or knit!

Jimmie is talking to all of you!

Happy Sunday everyone! 

My parakeet Jimmie is such a good talker!  

He has at least 8 full sentences he says clearly all day... everyday!

He has such a big personality but is so shy in front of the camera.  Fred​ stealthily got this video for you to enjoy. 

  It has a few clear words you can hear.

New Pug Painting ~ Design A96 ~ "Guidance"

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I am so excited to introduce my newest pug painting to you!

I just love how it turned out!

I have titled it ...

Acrylic on Wood

Copyright ~ Melissa Langer ~ 2016

I have taken lots of photos of it for you as I painted it so you can see it pop to life...

This is the original sketch on wood that I did to begin.

You can see I have made my first brush strokes to shade in the fur.

The next step is to bring their faces to life!

After the pugs are painted I choose the perfect background color and add the fine line to really make them pop to life!

Ta Da!

That was so much FUN, and I am so excited to share it with you!

I hope you enjoyed meeting them as much as I did! 

It is design A96 on my website and is now available on all of my products for you to enjoy!
