Dragon Obsession




Lately, Ethan has been obsessed with the movie How to Train Your Dragon.  Like so much,  I think we watch it at least once daily, yesterday it was twice, and we didn't even get home until 4! So yesterday while he was napping, I started looking at Pinterest (of course Pinterest, why would I be doing my chores?? Haha!) and I saw some crocheting ideas.  And it all started with making a heart. Yes, a heart.  I have been tired to making the same ole flowers for hats and what not, and I saw how to crochet a heart.  It was SUPER simple.  Here's my heart!

Then I was looking at that persons board on pinterest, and there were A LOT of crocheting ideas, including this one:
Dragon (free pattern)  <-I will be trying this for my little dragon lover
Link#2 for reference
I mean, how could I pass up trying to make this?? Ethan LOVES Dragons!!!

So here she/he is folks.  Ethan hasn't woken up from nap yet, so I am not 100% sure how excited he'll be, oh and in my pictures, I had forgotten to attach the ears, so mine does have ears.  Oh and one more thing, this was my VERY first time making it, so I can see several flaws (the right front legs is quite a bit longer than the left haha, the head kind of cocks to the side, the right wing has a wider base than the left wing, and some mess ups during stitching the actual thing, but I bet you that Ethan won't notice one tiny little bit)



I love him, if Ethan doesn't, that's cook, because I love him and I will totally love him!!
