I followed this pattern, here.
I didn't know how to carry a color on, so I searched it and found this great link, here.

Strawberry
My mom's other co-worker can't have strawberries because of allergies. So I thought it would be funny to give her a strawberry that she could actually have! I made the stem a bit longer by just chaining a few more and then brought it back down and slip stitched it to the top of the strawberry to make a loop, to make it a keychain.

Severed witch finger
So I made my mom a severed witch finger, then turned it into a keychain!
She LOVES it!
I made it from the same patter as before, here. I did however make the nail a bit longer.
For my nail I did something like this, I didn't count my rows as I went so this is approximate, but should be very close to it:
R 1 (AC[red]) - ch 2, 3 sc in 2nd ch from hook, turn
R 2 - ch 1, 1 sc in each st
R 3 - rep r 2, 4 times
R 6 - ch 1, 1 sc, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc, turn
R 7 - ch 1, 4 sc, turn
R 8 - rep r 3, 4 times
* To finish nail off, sc around entire nail and fasten off with enough yarn to sew onto finger
I didn't know how to do a spike stitch so I found this video that really helped, here.

Shamrock bookmark
I'm in a pick 3 swap on swap-bot.com and I didn't know what to send my partner, I needed one more thing. Well one of the choices to send was a bookmark. Since it's a few days before St. Patrick's day I thought I'd make her a shamrock bookmark.
So I found a pattern online. Then I found out I had to learn how to Tr = treble crochet and Dc = double crochet. So I found videos online that explained how to do that.

These are the videos I used.

Here is the pattern I used, here.
This is the final result. I made the small one from the pattern. I used a 3mm hook though. I don't know what the size yarn is that I used, because I don't know how to read German labels, but I think it came out alright. This is the bookmark shown in one of my books, it's a standard paperback book, to show the resulting size. Also, as you can see I didn't add the tassel that the pattern recommends either.
