The Gentlemen Need 7 Hearts

I'm part of the Nerd Wars on Ravelry and our first challenges have been posted.
I didn't get Team Bite Me, like I hoped...I got Team Hellmouth(Buffy). Which is still okay with me. So, I was trying to figure out my first project and thought about the episode "Hush" and the Gentlemen.
I decided to crochet an anatomically correct heart. The Gentlemen need 7 hearts to live and only a human scream can kill them. I submitted this for the Technical:Colortastic challenge. The pattern can be found on Ravelry here.

Thunderstorm and progress

Last night we had a few storms going through and I couldn't sleep...sooo...I finally started on the Jolly Roger Sweater pattern from the Stitch 'N B***h The Happy Hooker crochet book. It is coming along quickly and I cant wait to wear it this weekend. However, it I dont like the way it fits me, I will let hubby have it. He is tall and skinny and can wear anything. Lol.
I am also working on a few beanies for some friend's kids and future grandkids. Tiny cuteness!

K's Dress

After about two weeks, I finally finished K's dress. I couldn't find an "A" pattern/applique so I made it up as I went. I also made two hairclips. A flower and a bow. She will be receiving them tomorrow at church. Hope it fits well and she likes it.
Roughly 20" around at chest and also about 20" in length from top to bottom. I think she is about 18months.
I will share more finished projects tomorrow.

WIP-Tennessee dress and "T" filet applique.

Here is where I got to last night before putting it down. The simple shells were too monotonous at that time of night. So I then started a filet crochet "T" to place on the front of Peyton's dress.
The dress looks like it could double as a cheerleading outfit, so I might add some orange in the skirt like the pleats of color in a real one.

Tennessee Granny Square Purse

24 Squares..whew. Didn't have anything for handles, so I crocheted two 3-strand chains for handles. I saw something similar online a while back and had to make my own version of it. Thinking of making some in other team colors and selling them around here. Wonder if anyone would want one???

Kitty Beanie Hat

H.K. beanie. Made the face separate and sewed onto the hat. Now my mom is wanting a h.k. scarf. I see Christmas presents in the works.
