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. 

 

 

My Baby Dragon Amigurumi

 Here is my new amigurumi,A baby dragon with his egg!! I had to make the egg pretty big so that the dragon would fit inside. I love his slitted eyes and embroidered fangs!! He also has teensy baby dragon wings! Recently I have found that I really enjoy drawing dragons as much as making them. Maybe I'll post of picture of some of my artwork  !   :)   Oh yeah this little guy will be on my etsy soon too! ;>

 

look who just hatched!!

Another Lovie!

 Here's another baby lovie! This one is camo with a brown border and a bear head. It would be so cute for a baby boy!!!It will be on Etsy soon. This one is my favorite so far! :>

Two Blankies And A Bat!

 I just finished three (yes, three!) more projects! Me and my mom are teaming up to make some baby lovies! The little blankets are so cute with there amigurumi animal heads. And when you fold them up they look like little dolls wrapped in a baby blanket! My mom did a great job knitting the blankies (especially with the fuzzy yarn, it's hard to work with!) The other project is my little fuzzy bat! Bats are one of my favorite animals (next to cats) so I just had to make one! I modeled it after a webkinz bat , and it turned out really cute! All of these items should be on my Etsy soon!

A Little Alien

I made this ami alien this morning! The pattern I made was pretty simple , but I thought he turned out kinda cute! This little guy is up for adoption as well! ;) I thought he would make a cute gift for a boy!
