I Tried Something A Little....Weird

Yesterday I was helping my little brother with a "sew your own teddy bear kit" When I realized that the bear was made entirely out of felt! I'm not much for sewing but I broke out the stash of felt and this is what I came up with. He's a little ....Different, but I actually think he's kind of cute! I gave this key chain to my big brother, although I was sorely tempted to keep it. XD 

I guess he's an alien....?

I was so happy with him when I finished that I'm considering making some more! :) 

I want to put some more free patterns up soon! I just bought some bamboo yarn,(it's expensive but totally worth it) and I'm making a sweet kitty with it....maybe I'll put the pattern on my blog. :D 

Amiki's Ready For Spring!

Hi There everybody ! I Finally got around to making another post, I have been going through a crochet lapse as of late so I haven't had anything to blog about... But I finally got some inspiration and made this amigurumi bunny girl, Amiki! I sewed the dress this time so the clothes aren't so bulky ^_^ . They are all removable too! She reminds me of the old fashioned toy bunnies,with her bonnet and little capelet!

I crocheted with ribbon around her bonnet!

She'll be on Etsy soon. Amiki looks like she is about to go too a picnic. It would have been nice to take photos of her outside, But since it's snowing here I didn't think that would be the best idea!

My Alien / Monster Bag

 I finally finished my monster bag!! I originally got the idea for a monster plush bag in a sewing book, However since I can't sew I had to think up the pattern myself. I doesn't hold a ton of stuff, just your essentials(wallet,phone,..etc).  It think the bag is pretty funny because you have to stick your hand in his mouth to get your stuff out Someone commented to me that it looks kinda like a cat though. ^_^

does it really look like a cat...?

aaah! He ate my wallet!!!

Midna The Black Cat

Another Creation!! I like Midna because her tail is sooo soft!!  I made the whole cat (except the tail) with plain black yarn, But I hooked fuzzy yarn into the body to make it soft too!

       Midna will be up for adoption on my etsy too....She needs a good home. ;)





  

Ruff The Ami Pup!

My little brother proclaims ruff to be "perfectly huggable!"

   Yay! My first free pattern! Ruff is a fairly simple doll to make,even beginners will be able to make this puppy. I made him out of worsted weight yarn, safety eyes, and a snap on nose. My little brother adopted him and is the one who named him Ruff. :)  

This is the exact pattern I used to make the original pup so there shouldn't be any problems, but if you find one, or need help with the pattern, feel free to leave me a comment  and I will help you in any way I can!

First Doll Of The New Year!!

Hooray its 2011!! And to commemorate the new year I made a new doll pattern! This doll turned out really big. She's nearly 18" tall! I tried to give her manga/anime - ish eyes and I think they turned out ok for my first attempt. Eyes are a lot easier to draw then to make!

I'm not very good at making doll clothes, but I was able to make this dolls clothes removable.

I am considering adding some free patterns to my blog, But I have not thought of what kind of doll I would make a pattern for. If any body has any ideas of what kind of free pattern you would like, I would love to hear them ! :)  I never thought I would get 15 followers so quick, Thanks guys! ^_^

Another Dragon But Not The Same Kind

I said I would post some artwork....so here it is. I love Dragons :) This isn't my most recent artwork but I spent a lot of time on it,  and I think it turned out pretty good! It's hanging in my room right now!

 

I recently got a custom order for some dolls! The buyer wanted them to look like her friends. Here are some pictures. :) It was fun to make the different types of dolls.
