Cattitude Kitties!

So I came up with the idea of making a basic body shape for an Ami, and then going crazy with details, and this is what came of it: Cattitude Kitties! It took me a while to figure out what kind of animal I wanted them to be, but in the end cats one over bears (teddies are so done) and dogs (I am NOT a dog person). The first one I made, I wanted the theme to be blue, so I used blue yarn for the hair, blue felt for the apron, and blue striped material for her turtleneck. She ended up as  "The Busy Mom Kitty" which was the best theme I could think of.

Her shirt is not very intricate, but I hope with practice, I will get better at making clothing for my dolls!

Making the hair took FOREVER. I peeled apart yarn for a very long time, until each ply was separate, then I laid it across the head and needle-felted it into place. It took a really long time, but It turned out looking nice! :)

          My Grandma got me a big Ol' bucket of buttons, so I used them too accessorize my kitties.

                  I found a blue heart button which went just perfectly with busy mom kitties blouse!



 The next kitty I made was way more fun! I've been watching The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies lately, and have been in a pirate-y mood. So Vengeful Pirate Kitty was born!!

I used another button for his belt buckle!

 I really love how his eye turned out! It's really fun experimenting with drawing different kinds of eyes for my Amigurumis!

I had kind of a hard time making his hat (I'm not much of a seamstress lol) But In the end, after much frustration, I turned it sideways, and It looked more like a pirate hat than it did from the front....
I'm really happy with how these guys turned out, and hope to make more soon!

                                            Both of these guys are in my Etsy store!

Ninjamals

Well Ninjamals isn't strictly their Official name.....( I'm sure I've heard that name before...Maybe because it sounds like Garanimals..?) but it sounds kinda neat! Here they are!!

                               First and foremost, there is black kitty ninja, super stealth assassin!

           I imagine he spends most of his day training so he can be stronger than all the other cats in his village.



Then there is pink bunny ninja. She's a bit ditzy, but she means well. No-one believes she is actually a ninja. Poor bunny, train a little harder!!

I made pixie bearlings best friend! Pal absolutely adores pixie, but she doesn't seem to notice... <_<

Pal the bearling

Pixie n Pal together

 Sorry was that a bit too much? lol It's so fun imagining their stories!! (even if it is a bit weird...)
All of these cuties are available in my Etsy shop!

I have a ginormous ball of pastel baby yarn... I need to use some up, but I'm not sure what to make! Any suggestions??

Yarn shown much smaller than actual size

                                             Well I better go get to work, until next time!!

                                                          Hugs and kisses! -Brea

Another Tiny Doll

Here are the pics of the other mini doll, as promised!! This one is a little bigger than the last one..about 31/4" tall and 2" wide. I like her boa though X) She's in my Etsy store! :)

 I think the next doll I crochet will be made of MUCH thinner yarn. And maybe a smaller hook.....

My mom gave me a whole ton of capsules, like the kind you get out of a candy machine. I'm pretty excited! I see tiny toys brimming on the horizon!! :D

Commisioned Mini Doll!

 A couple days ago I got a special order for a 2 1/2" doll!It was really fun to make because I could use up some of the really fine yarn that looks pretty, but is rather impractical.

I was happy when I was told to give the doll red hair. :) I happen to love red haired dolls! ;)

I really want to give her a name!! But alas... I have no right to bestow a name upon a custom order....

the eyes look big because she's so small, they're actually about 9mm...or maybe smaller?

As it turns out, this was a doll FOR a doll! My customer said that she wanted a little toy for a small ball-jointed doll. I've seen these little dolls on the internet (blythe, pullip,dollfie...) I'd love to get one, but I guess they are for SERIOUS collectors. Which means way outta my price range lol. I'll just have to make do with creating my own :)I bet it will be adorable to see her sweet little doll holding mine X) I'm working on another one right now,I think she'll have black hair (which I also happen to love) look for some pics of her soon!

Congrats!

Don't you want a friend that's a little....batty..?

It's been a year!!?

I was scanning through my old posts(wow my pictures have gotten better ) and I realized I've been in the blogging world for an entire year!! Yes my blogging has been few and far between in the past, but as the new year approaches I have been posting more and more! Just wanted to say thanks to my readers! 

On to my projects....Still haven't gotten around to making that pirate bear....But I did make a pirate goblin! Does that count..?

I like my goblins :) I think they're cute! Maybe This little guy will get a crew soon.....

 

 

 

 

I made a black mini bat too! I've been making an awful lot of mini things lately.....But small things are quick, easy, and cute! I love little Batty...He's in my Etsy. I didn't write down the pattern (again...) But I'm sure I could make him a second time! (and that time I would write it down!!)

Oh! good news! My dad is going to give me a program I can use to make my patterns! I think I might actually be able to make some to sell(and give away!) I said I would probably make Carter the fox first, but I might start with something smaller....like a little bat.....

I made his ears with this ultra soft fuzzy yarn...

 Here is an anime looking koala I made the other day.....I have yet to post it.....

 This was actually a cat, if you can believe that however, it didn't really work out the way I wanted.

You know, I don't think I've ever made a koala before! I guess this is a first :)

she is realllllly soft XD
