Amigurumi exciting stuff

So I said that I am not very creative but I prayed to come up with something special. I think I did manage to make something handmade and very special and adorable, I am happy anyway. It is a baby toy and my youngest grandson inspired me because he likes to hold on to my fingers.I tried to make them different in some ways. I also tried to make them in bright colours. Kids like that. Since then I have opened a shop on etsy so here you can check all my things. All my things are copyright so please respect my wishes. https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/AmigurumiNanna?ref=hdr_shop_menu

Amigurumi cute little frog

I wanted to make another adorable frog but different because I liked the green one I made. I used blue and red like a poison frog as my daughter said because I don't know much about frogs. It is fairly easy to make It is from a free pattern but I always change or add where I don't like. I love those eyes they are glass ones and really nice. You should give this a go you can find the pattern on pinterest.com. Some sewing involved as usual but still you will feel great when the toy is finished. This toy won't be good for small kids as it has wires and the eyes. Here are the pictures of my frogs.

Amigurumi sock monkey

I would like to open an etsy store one day. I have decided to make some toys so I will see if I can see them. I  want to make some toys that doesn't take me many hours to finish, other wise it is not worth the hassle. I still find satisfaction with every toy I make and it is really hard for me to part from them but I have many now. It would be great to earn some money though through doing what I love. What I have done today is a sock monkey I altered it a little as always seems to be my trait. I love the mint colour of wool and with beige works well I think. I made longer legs and stuck them on differently too. I put safety eyes and also stuck glue at the back of them for security.  Here is my finished product.

Amigurumi mouse

My grandchild was looking at some cartoons on the internet and he told me that he wanted a mouse. I asked him what colour he said grey at first but then he said orange. A day passed and I asked him again and he still said orange so I proceeded in making him one. I have lots of coloured wool which I like to finish so I can buy nicer colours. As you see I ran out of wool for the tail so I did it in grey. I used safety eyes and glued them for more safety as well but still we will watch him when he plays with it. I changed the nose part it was way too long for me and the hands and legs. I like the body very much. The lady who wrote this pattern did an awesome job I also like the ears. Let's see what he does when he sees it. It gives me so much pleasure when he likes the toys I make for him.

Amigurumi owl

Hello this is the last toy this week. I don't work on Sundays, I normally research what I will do in the next week. I made this owl it is fairly big. It could be a door stopper if you fill it with pebbles or pellets. The pattern is in different language and I misunderstood a verse I think. I google translate it because I had to make one. I made it with closed eyes for a change. It is easy to make otherwise. I like to try new things. The embroidery on the chest of the owl I have never done. I want to start selling my toys most likely I will open a shop on etsy.
