Leapin' Lizards (and another Liebster)

First, let me say how honored I am to be nominated again as a Liebster blog (my second nomination).  This time I was nominated by Alicia at The Better Nester.  Thank you Alicia!  You can see the blogs I nominated for the Liebster blog here.


I've been n the middle of preparing items for a local consignment sale.  In the middle of the chaos I got a request to make some rainbow lizard barrettes for a friend's daughter.  Her fifth birthday is coming up and her theme is lizards and the party colors were bright green, blue, pink and orange.


I found the perfect yarn at Hobby Lobby and went to work.  I stayed up late every night for a few days making sure I would have the lizards ready.  Even though we haven't had any sun for a few days (meaning dark pictures) I snapped a few pictures.

She wanted four lizards total, two larger and two smaller.  A set for her daughter and a set for her daughter's doll.

I took the pictures before I sewed them to the barrettes.  When I went to sew the last small lizard on, I noticed something.  Do you see it?


Let me help.  See that arrow?

Somehow I managed to only give this poor lizard one little toe instead of three like the other feet.  Lets just say I had to make another small lizard.


This lizard is based on the Lion Brand bookmark, but I did them in one piece instead of each limb separately and a much shorter tail.
