I will be posting about\u00a0some projects I did a while ago (made before the Chinese New Year Doll<\/a><\/em> and the Valentine Teddy<\/a><\/em>) as I work on some new projects.\u00a0 Previously, I posted about some stuffies I made using Ana Paula Rimoli\u2019s second book<\/a><\/em><\/strong> (Koala<\/a><\/em> and Bunny<\/a><\/em>).\u00a0 When I first picked up this book, another pattern that immediately jumped out\u00a0at me was her adorable \u201cSweet Peas\u201d pattern.\u00a0 These sweet peas reminded me of the uber cute peas in Toy Story 3, a movie which I absolutely loved!\u00a0 I was itching to try out this pattern, but I did not have any shades of green yarn.\u00a0 A trip to the craft store fixed that, and I\u00a0happily began, knowing that this project would be simple and quick.\u00a0 I initially followed Ana Paula\u2019s pattern, but the peas were turning out bigger than I expected.\u00a0 I modified her pattern to make cuter, smaller peas \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I began crocheting a ball to make the first pea\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, I added the eyes and a smile and stuffed him.<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

Making three peas was pretty quick!<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

And now to differentiate each pea!\u00a0 One gets a pink hat, and another gets pink cheeks \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I crocheted the pea pod.<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

And now the fun part!\u00a0 I excitedly placed the peas into their pod, one by one \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a side view of the three peas in a pod.\u00a0 We also modified Ana Paula\u2019s pattern by making the tips of the pod pointy (vs. rounded), just like a real pea pod!\u00a0 We did this by adding some glue to the inside corners of the pod so it would stick to itself.<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

You can see a better view of the pointy tip in the following picture.\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t this pea look like Robin Hood now?<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty fun taking the peas in and out of their pod!<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s another pic of the peas in their pod, arranged horizontally now!\u00a0 We pushed the edges of the pod around each pea.\u00a0 Now they look so cozy and snug!<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

Haha, Ryan made me laugh when he rearranged them like this, exclaiming, \u201cLook!\u00a0 These two are in love, and this one\u2019s sad\u201d \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 Poor little pea\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"Peas<\/a><\/p>\n

This project was a nice change from my previous projects since there were no arms, legs, ears or tails.\u00a0 There was no sewing or assembly required!\u00a0 Once the three peas and the pod were complete, the whole project was done.\u00a0 I highly recommend trying out this project as these peas are so easy to make and so fun to play with.\u00a0 Kids and grown-up\u2019s alike all love playing with them (trust me, this comes from experience)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
