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 Purple Horse

A Purple Horse with Multi Coloured Hair

How cute is this horse!

Pattern is from Monster's Toy Box (Ravelry)

And it is quite quick to make.

Horse stands almost 9inches tall and is perfect sized for little hands to hold on to.

I put two little 'pantyhose bags' filled with rice to add weight to the base

so that Horse wouldn't fall forward to.

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!

Kangaroo with Joey

A co-worker from New Zealand

is heading home for the holidays

and there's a baby due while she is there

so she asked for a kangaroo

to give to the little baby kiwi

Two Little Owls

I made these two owls

for twins Phoenix and Ivy

A boy owl

And a girl owl

I've sent these off

to Queensland
