I crocheted four hippos!



They're all purple because a friend of mine commissioned a purple hippo from me, but I didn't (and still don't) know what purple she wants, so I figured I'd make one in every purple I have and see what she picks 😜 I ran out of the mixed purple I used for the rightmost hippo and had to swap a different solid in, but on the plus side it looks like it's wearing a sweater, which is adorable.

I also finally finished a pair of sheet straps for the middle section of my fitted sheets; I toss and turn enough that just fastening down the corners is insufficient, and if I don't do anything I end up sleeping on a roll of rumpled up cloth. I'd previously been holding the middle down with an extra set of store-bought sheet straps (two per side and holding on to a spare pillow case in the middle, since they don't stretch far enough on their own), but that wasn't holding on as well as I would've liked. So I sewed a pair of ribbon loops at roughly thirds on each long side of my fitted sheet, got some strapping, sewed some plastic hooks to either end of those, and just got it all set up tonight! They're like suspenders for my fitted sheet 😂 Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic for how this'll turn out. Worse comes to worst, I can just go back to regular sheet straps plus pillowcase, which is still better than nothing.
