Petit Giraffe

Look what I made!

This oh-so-cute Giraffe was quite fun to make and

I just love his chubby little legs and body and butt.

He will be for sale very soon in my Etsy store.

Pattern is from Marike van Loo - Gigi Giraf

Spikey Brontosaurus

Only a few days ago I posted the

Brontosaurus I made without his spikes.

Well here he is with his spikes attached

and he's already off to his new home!

Brontosaurus

I've recently made a Brontosaurus

from the Fresh Stitches pattern Cliff the Brontosaurus

Although, I will be adding orange spikes down his back, 

which might actually make him a different type of dinosaur?

A Doll in the Making

I have been searching for a good pattern

to make a doll for a very long time.

I finally found one that looked good and didn't use

tiny little hooks, as these hurt my hands.

I came across Just My Size Sammy on Ravelry

and was instantly impressed.

Here are a few of my progress shots.

The most laborious part is the hair!

I have re-done the hair 3 times so far

and I still don't have a good look!

This is how the hair looked after I made the 'wig cap' and attached stands.

After attaching almost a full head I held her up

and her head just flopped backwards.

I was devastated to say the least.

I really wanted her hair to be down but this method wasn't working

If I were to put her hair up or in some 

'Princess Leia buns' this method would work great

Here is a close up of the hands and her belly button.

I modified these from the pattern - both the 

thumbs and the belly button are just bobble stitches.

I modified the hands little also.

Can't wait to figure out her hair and get some more progress shots!
