Feast your most gorgeous peepers on these darling little egg cozies.
Aren't these just darling? I've been wanting to make these for years and just never took the time so I grabbed my tiny little crochet hook and grabbed a bunch of cotton thread and went to town.
Now wouldn't this make you smile to wake up one morning and see these sweet little girls keeping your soft boiled eggs warm? They are going to make me smile for sure.
Let's get up close and personal to these little ladies. Each one is a little bit different from the others.
Each little lady has her own individual hat and collar and even crocheted buttons on the front of her dress.
This one has naturally curly hair and has her little head tilted just a bit. Not that I sewed it on crooked or anything! :)
This little lady is very affectionate and wants to kiss everyone.
The sun was shining brightly through the kitchen window and the girls wanted to line up so you could see their little hats better.If you're interested in the pattern this is the book where it came from. I so don't want to infringe upon a copyright or anything so I won't put the pattern in my post. This book was published in 1995 ~ I've had it for a long time.
Here's the little egg cozies/warmers in the book. I didn't add eyebrows or noses because I didn't think they looked too cute.
Okie dokie, sit right down and have your egg - our little gal has kept it nice and warm for you. Oh, you may not want to try this egg as it's not edible! :) Don't you just love faux stuff?

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Little Egg
Once there was a little egg, that sat upon a wall.
Soon he started to wobble, then he started to fall.
He cried out for help, as down, down, he fell.
I grabbed him in my hand, so he didn’t crack his shell. But later, when he thought his troubles were at an end,
My mother cracked him in a bowl, I watched him drop right in.
This story has a sad end, for the little egg any way.
But as for my family, he brightened up our day!

ReplyDeletexoxo
How absolutely adorable!! I smiled when I saw them! Somehow I knew your egg cozies would be something special and out of the ordinary...and they certainly are!! Love them!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jan ♥
You've just topped all your other gorgeousness projects - with these! They are sooo cute! And you can decorate with them by using pretend eggs! I love this.
ReplyDeleteMary
They are stinkin' cute! LOVE the kissy one the best, lol!
ReplyDeleteSheila, me fascinan. Te quedaron muy lindos. Saludos
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley and thank yo so much for popping in to see me. Hope you're doing well.
DeleteOh my gosh, those are the cutest little ladies! You are so talented...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Sheila.
You have been busy! Beautiful little ladies! The recent snows we have had gave me opportunity to crochet again. The song was cute!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Shelia, I can't even imagine using thread to make these adorable and useful egg warmers. Your tiny fingers have worked very hard. Smile. It never ceases to amaze me at what talent you have for every craft known to woman!!!
ReplyDeleteStay warm in this cold weather.
Love, Jeanne
These are too cute, I love them. They make me happy just seeing them. You are one talented lady!
ReplyDeleteOh how cute- these are adorable. You really are good at this! I never took to it- I tried knitting and crocheting. I could do it I just didn't have the patience!
ReplyDeleteCrocheted egg warmers . . . an entirely new level of crafting for me!
ReplyDeleteI tell you what, if you give us a minute, we can figure out how to hot glue, sequin or crochet just about anything! The ladies here in Fairhope crocheted a telephone pole cover. NO LIE!!!
Hi Shelia, oh are these egg warmers cute!! You are so talented and put your sweet touch on these darling little folk. So much work involved and I know these cuties kept you mighty busy. They are so adorable.
ReplyDeletePerfect winter time project!!
Hugs and Blessings
So adorable Sheila ! Your crocheting looks perfect !
ReplyDeletehow cute and what a fun idea! Great way to add a conversation piece while keeping your eggs warm :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I have always used yarn in crocheting but want to try the threads some day.
ReplyDeleteThose are the cutest egg cozies I've ever seen! Very delightful, as is the sweet song you share! This did brighten my day, and if I had been paying attention to my Mother's instructions when I was younger, I would have known how to crochet, myself. Ah, well! She did teach me embroidery and knitting which I still do. . .
ReplyDeleteCutest things ever! You are so talented - and dexterous!
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh! Those are so darn adorable! Love their little hats and each of their little personalities! Wish I knew how to do that!
ReplyDeleteThese are just ADORABLE Sheila! The only thing I have ever crocheted were those rag baskets that you used a big ol' needle on when they were popular. I am SO very impressed with your perfect and tiny little stitches! Your talents just never end :)
ReplyDeleteThese are SO cute! You do such beautiful handwork Shelia. The stitches are so small and the details of each one are sweet. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThose are so sweet, Shelia.
ReplyDeleteThey are just as cute as can be...every one with her own sweet personality! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! So adorable! Open an Etsy shop, please!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little family of cozies.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute. I like them without the eyebrows, etc., too. I think they are cuter the way you made them. That and knitting are the two "crafts" I have never learned to do. I am going to have to try it one of these days. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!!
Love these sweeties!! They are so cute!!
Hugs,
Debbie
How cute!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Too cute! This will also be perfect for Easter!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, you are so talented I know my mother would have loved to see your blog:)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, these are sooooooo cute......but not as cute as you, dear friend!!! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteDarling, Shelia! I'm glad you didn't follow the faces in the book...the eyebrows make them look a little scary!! Love them! Well worth your time! :)
ReplyDeleteJane
They are very adorable. You did a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I love to crochet but don't think I could do it with such fine thread. You're a rock star! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, Shelia! You are so talented. Have a great weekend! xxx Maria
ReplyDeleteShelia, these are the cutest and sweetest things I have seen in a long time. You always, always amaze me. I hope you will share them with us for Pink Saturday.♥
ReplyDeleteThose are the cutest things I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I have to say that I think yours are much nicer than the ones in the book! xx
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Shelia, those are so darn cute! I'm feeling proud of myself that I can actually crochet a heart-shape (mostly looks like a heart...lol), but I don't think I will ever be as skilled as you are. So cute and they look perfect in your pretty kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThis is what cute is all about! Your crochet eggs are so adorable, stop by Fabulous Friday and share them

Adorable! And so much work!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet faces to wake up to in the morning. I know they'll keep you smiling. Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! And it will save you a lot of time dyeing Easter eggs. Or maybe not! But they'll be much cuter!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Sheila, these are the cutest! I have never seen anything so sweet to cover an egg. You did a fabulous job my friend! Thanks for sharing them with SYC.
