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

Luna of the Land and Sea

I LOVED making Luna of the Land and Sea.

I upsized her as I wanted her to be quite big.

I forgot to measure her before she was gifted but if I had to roughly guess,

she is about 50cm tall.

I love that I can send her off with her tail on and then you get surprised to find out

she also has legs, a cute dress and a stylish bikini!

Pattern is from The Merino Mermaid on Etsy

A Teal Blue Owl

I've just completed a custom made

Teal Blue owl!

I really love these shades of blue

and love that strangers can

suggest colour combo's

that I wouldn't have thought of myself!

Project Updates

A few projects currently in the works:

A Knight Beanie

A Knit Cowl (learning to knit still)

A Baby Doll + Accessories

This little bub now has some arms

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?

This item is available for Custom Order

Check out the Catalogue tab above for details!

Another Boxy Bunny

I've made another Boxy Bunny 

this one is cream/gray with navy shorts

and was a custom order together

with the original cream bunny with blue shorts

These bunnies are just so cute aren't they?!

I'v sold three bunnies this week

and might have to just make up some more

especially for Easter!

Pattern Inspiration: Minazara
Buy my creations from Chunky Stitches

Boxy Bunny

This is Boxy Bunny

Boxy Bunnies will be limited edition

because I am using leftover bits of yarn

to make Boxy Bunny

so you may not find the same colour combinations available

or the same skirt/shorts etc.

Soon enough Boxy Bunny will

be listed in my Made It Store - Hooky Fun 

Boxy Bunny is 8 inches or 20.5cm tall

and would be easy for little hands to hold

Safety eyes are used, but eyes can be 

felt and sewed on if preferred

but note I have altered the original pattern

**At the moment I am only posting to Australia

but feel free to contact me

to see if overseas post is viable**

We Have Hair

It's taken some time to get this right

and quite some time to pull apart yarn

but doll finally has some hair!

Now to make her some pretty clothes and she is ready to go.

I think I might sell this doll as a one-off item in my Etsy store.

To be Updated!

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!

Sam the Koala

Here is Sam the Koala

He is roughly 6" or 15cm tall when sitting

I gave him felt ears as I didn't like the look

of the loop stitch ears.

Going to try out a fluffy yarn next time

for his ears and his tummy

He really is quite cute, and would look good in any colour!

This is a Fresh Stitches Pattern

(Crochet) Body Parts

More Animal Body Parts

You can pretty much

guess what is in the works here

He will be a little koala

with felt ears and a crochet tummy

This is a Fresh Stitches Pattern

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 

in time for Christmas

Cliff the Brontosaurus

This is Cliff the Brontosaurus

Made for nephews 2nd birthday.

Original pattern didn't include spikes

But I felt he needed a little something extra

Although,  he is cute either way

A Tiny Crab

This is Tipper the Tiny Crab

Pattern is from Fresh Stitches

He works up very fast, and is quite easy to make.

If your familiar with my blog,

you will notice I LOVE Fresh Stitches designs.

Archer - The Mystery CAL

I participated in a Mystery Crochet-a-long (CAL)

Hosted by Stacey over at Fresh Stitches.

None of us had any idea what we were crocheting

until the last clue was released.

So this is Archer, the Dog.

A Bat for Christmas

Another Crochet Christmas Present.

This is Igor the Tiny Bat.

The pattern is by Stacey Trock at Fresh Stitches.

She makes the cutest Amigurumi patterns, I am such a fan of hers.

Introducing: Leonidas

I made this Lion Toy for a Christmas Present.

I made it up as I went along,

and thankfully, wrote it down.

He turned out pretty cute.

Not what I was expecting, but still sweet.
