Mermaid set for a little princess

I've got a small break from my endless projects for the order of a Mermaid set.

This time I had a different and a bit more complicated approach to make the tail. 

I chose a pattern with the shell stitches, so that it looks like a fish scales. And I started my work from the top with the ridged rib pattern, then cast on stitches for the main pattern. For that I took some idea from here.

And here is the pattern.

Ring sling

This time it's neither crochet nor knitting, but simple stitching. I made this sling long time ago, but have happened to use it just recently when I needed my hands to be free, and my boy was so impatient that he could not see how I was moving here and there without him in my hands.

I don't want to describe how I made it and all the dimensions, I will just say that I got these special rings from Russia. They are very durable and can bear up to 120 kg of weight: so your back will brake but not the rings :))) Any useful information can be found by the following links.

It really helped me and my boy enjoyed because he could witness and control everything what mom was doing.

I know my mom needs my help. That's why I'm always with her and ready to make any advise and cheer her up!

Now she can do everything much faster, coz she has four hands. I am so eager to take part in all adult matters!

If it was not for me, how mom could cope with all the house chores. I can help nonstop! 

Happy flower

I just fell in love with one pattern I found in the Internet and decided to make similar flower. What a nice wall decoration has come out!

Rainbow dachshund

Here I found a very nice tutorial for a funny dog and immediately decided to make the same toy for my boy.

As of now it is difficult for him to understand what that creature is!

Brothers elephants

Two more toys for my baby. He is growing very fast and already started grabbing things, and my toys have become the objects for his attention. 
Here are the links I used to make toys though again I had to make some changes.

This is the power flower elephant. With such a long trunk it can sniff in any flower.

 And a rainbow elephant. Looks a bit down.
