Happy Birthday :)

So today is a friend of mine's birthday. He's a drummer. He mocks my love of amigurumi quite regularly :) but he set me a challenge - 'make me animal from the muppets and I'll like what you do.' So here is animal from the muppets. The head was quite hard to make - especially getting the mouth right, but I am really pleased with the result. Let's hope he is too!

Making progress

So this is her so far - she still doesn't have a name. I have some really nice fabric that I want to use to make a top for her - it's from Liberty of London so hopefully soon I can show you some progress being made on that - we'll see! I used eyelash yarn again to make her hair - funky fur by Sidar and actually it was easier to use than some of the other eyelash yarn I have tried.

cat or bear?

This was the second big amigurumi doll I made - back in April or May time. It was supposed to be a cat - I was following the Hep Cat pattern in Amigurumi Super Happy Crochet Cute by Elisabeth Doherty, but somehow he ended up looking more like a bear I think - or maybe a racoon or something - but definitely not a cat! oh well he's still cute -and he's now in England awaiting the birth of my nephew/niece who is due the day after tomorrow!!!

New Project

So this is my latest project - she doesn't have a name yet, we will see how she turns out. I'm thinking of trying to sew her some clothes instead of the clothes being part of the amigurumi - but I need help from a friend, never made a pattern before. We'll see how it goes!

Not Punk Bunny

So this is Not Punk Bunny - made for a friend's baby. His name comes from the fact that I used the Punk Bunny pattern from Amigurumi Super Happy Cute Crochet by Elisabeth Doherty as my guide, but didn't follow it completely, as I didn't really think a Punk Bunny would be suitable for a new born baby...

Mr Batten Burg

So the inspiration for this one came from a necklace I saw on the Super Cute Kawaii blog and from some stuff I bought recently from the Paperchase Food Friends range. So cute:) He is for sale at my etsy shop.

Lilac

This is Lilac. She is another example of when I have used eyelash yarn. She loves the winter because she can wear fluffy jumpers - and check out her leg warmers :) maybe she's a child of the 80's. Lilac is for sale in my etsy shop.
