I thought about it for a minute, and decided that my usual form of celebration involves making myself a really good cup of one of my fave teas…..

soooooooooooooooooooo……..

I decided that I should carve a crochet hook that is a teacup!

I don’t think they actually give people a REAL physical award, so I figured that I would make an award cup!

Who needs a big old trophy sitting on their shelf?

Nah, don’t have room on the shelves……

but a crochet hook – Oh YAH!

LOL! I know, I know,

MOST people would take the big ole trophy….. but

why be normal?

I drew a teacup and the rough shape of a crochet hook on the blank piece of wood….

Next step: Cut out the outline of the drawing:

more carving, more sanding, more shaping:

that’s a teeny doll teacup that I am using as a model

It’s been a long process to carve it, but I am so pleased!

and here it is…. my celebration Teacup crochet hook!

I love it so much…. I am so pleased that I was nominated for the The Fabbies – I wouldn’t have thought of this without the nomination!
