AmigurumiBB doll, my version

I made this doll from Vanja's patterns She made this doll very recent and she shared it for free isn't she the most generous,creative, kindest person in the world? I have been looking to make a doll that has moving hands and feet. I almost gave up and then I just saw this pattern.I had to make it. I had made a material doll with some help long time ago. I knew you attach something in the shoulders and thighs. I forgot how we did it but Vanja explains and shows photos how it's done. I changed the hand and did fingers. I like it to look as real as possible and kept going with her pattern I unpicked many times to continue with her rows but I managed at the end. The hair took a long time I split the wool into three strands and then insert it in each hole which seems forever. I don't know where this patience came from. I had trouble making the top so I made the dress myself making sure it fitted the doll. My daughter wanted me to make her lips so I tried. I think pink would have been better then red. I can draw good eyes but embroidering  them is another thing. I still have to make shoes and an apron so the dress is not too plain i will add the photo when it is all done. I will make a male doll. Some pictures for you to see.

MY Oopsie doll

My oopsie doll I enjoyed making this doll very much. I loved making the curls it took a whole ball of yarn for it. I enjoyed making the skirt of the dress. The pattern was very easy to follow.It took me three days working strictly all afternoons. I am having trouble making the bow, would you believe it? I tried three times already. Haven't given up yet. I can always contact Vanja from Amigurumi BB, the generous lady, who made the pattern and share it. Isn't she wonderful. How I came to make this doll is I was looking to see how a type of her is done.  I liked the hairdo of this doll and decided to do it. I love this doll her boots looks very nice. Here is a picture of my lovely Oopsie doll. I had trouble making her bow but managed after three attempts or four. You can never give up I guess on things.

My daughter's flowers

I made this bouquet for my daughter's wedding four or five years ago. I made these from foam flowers and all the artificial flowers. I put pearls pins only in the bride flowers.I will post a picture of some of them but I can't right now. I made corsages and flowers for the church benches. I also decorated the church with fresh flowers. It was pretty hectic on the day to make the church flowers. I have another daughter to get married this year, I am not going to do the church ones but I will be doing the rest if God's willing. You can see at the back the bridesmaid ones but not clearly. Anyway it is fun to be able to make things yourself very rewarding. Can you spot the Diamond ring?

Red haired doll

The head of this doll is one of the spheres I had made, I can't wait to use them all. I had made two similar to this one before. I used the body from Amigurumi Bb dolls. She is an awesome lady. She shares many of her free patterns and she allows you to add or change to them as we please. I like her dress and shoes. I still need more practice about this type of hair. I like Amigurumi BB dolls better the head are much nicer. I have another idea of making hair. See the way I find things out is searching for the thing I want and I find something better. I know another method which takes a lot of time so I don't bother with it.

Worm

I made this worm not sure if I made this from this pattern or my own. It has been sitting there for a while. I made lots of different sizes of spheres and I wanted to use them up. The idea of the finished toy is definitely from Lilleliis's pattern. I have been thinking to finish it like the glow worm. I bought the pattern from Lilleliis. I made a bug with wings which I posted already. I added a flower to it because I wanted it to look slightly different. Easy to make as well. I had the eyes done from previous toy and I wanted to use them. I am trying not to leave things undone. I have a large box full of wool and I would like to buy new wool so I would like to get rid of this old wool first. I think any crafty person would end up with so much stuff in the process. She will buy stuff that she thinks she will use and leave it there. OH here is the worm guys.

little chihuahua

I made this little chihuahua from a free pattern that I found in free amigurumi. I like to make small things but they are very challenging to make. It is very fiddly and I think it takes longer too to finish them but they are cuter. It is not hard to do for you out there who wants to give it a go. I made about six of them already. I keep giving them away so I will make one for me to keep. I usually don't like to make the same toy over and over but i do want one of each toy I make. I have never counted them but I think I have made over a hundred so far. To think I just started with a ball, then a ball with eyes. Followed by a snake and then a giraffe with a small blanket. Then I could read patterns and here I am a year it has been. I used to make one a day. I usually work on them after dinner, while the tv is on. It is a great hobby and very rewarding. Anyway about this chihuahua I wasn't very happy so I left it in a bag because in my eyes it wasn't perfect. I thought I will put it together anyhow and I added a flower which made all the difference. This is definitely not suited for little kids. ok here it is
