Amigurumi grey rabbit

  I have to go to the market in two weeks. So this week I have to try and make as much as I can. It took me all day, to finish one toy, just stopped to eat and wash the dishes. and minus an hour. How can you sell it for peanuts then. Anyway, I never wanted to make these toys to sell them. I wanted to make them for my grand children.Once you start making these toys you will never stop. I always changed my hobby from time to time. I do knitting, painting, ribbons, and whatever I see that I want to try and make but this has been the longest so far. Once in a while I want to make blankets gives me a break from sewing all the pieces from all the toys I make. I think this rabbit came a little too dark for my liking but it turned out ok. There are a few patterns like this rabbit but I made the head like I like. I made it to look chrissmissy if there is such a word. As you can see it turned out very good. Here are some pictures of my rabbit.

Amigurumi, My tiniest rabbit

I made this tiny rabbit also to fit in Santa's bag and there is more room for more to go in but I think I am not going to make more. This is from a free pattern but I added few lines in the legs and the hands. This could be the tiniest thing I have done. I think the rest is like the pattern. I get most of my patterns from pinterest.com. I added a scarf which is just chains. It could be less then 3 inches. I don't like making small toys but they come very cute. Good luck with yours.

Amigurumi Elf

This elf, I have to say it is my favourite. It is very cute and I love how it turned up. I used a gingle thing to go instead of a pompom for a change. This also was done in 4 ply cotton. I like how small and cute they turn up. The elf is also free pattern and again not in English but you can get by if you have experience in making these kind of toys. This toy also fits in Santa's bag so far all the toys fits in his bag. I will try and make a green elf. Here you can see how cute he is with the snow flake and shoe lace.

Amigurumi Bunny Doll

I made this small bunny doll to go in the Santa's sack. This is my youngest daughter's favourite doll,so of course I will make her one to go in the bag. I bought a pen that should erase itself in time or with water. That is why you can see the purple lines on her face. This is the first time I used this pen I wanted to use these eye effects. This pattern is also free but it is not in proper English but if you are used to follow patterns you should get by. I do like this pattern I made a few of this pattern in the past but this is cotton 4 ply so it came cuter and smaller. This is one of my favourite doll to make but I hate making more of the same things. Here you can see my cotton little doll.

Small sleeping doll

As you all know I made MR and MRS Santa and I also made him a large bag. I wanted to  fill up the sack with small toys that is why I did this toy. I wanted to make one of these but I never got to it till the last two weeks. I got the free pattern from pinterest.com. I would have like to bag the body bag longer, it would have been in good proportion I think, never the less it is still cute. I did do this toy in cotton, 4ply I think I like doing cotton toys more then wool. You can see the bag behind the doll. The toys, I will show you,they all fit in the bag and maybe I should have done more.

Amigurumi Santa

Santa is done as well. It wasn't as hard to make as I first thought but it was different then other patterns I have done in the past. I am not very pleased with the beard but I couldn't think of a better idea. I made black gloves instead of green. I didn't change anything from this pattern. He also has ears when you take off the hat. I need to improve on making faces I don't seem to be good at it. I used a golden metallic polyester for the buckle. here is a view of them. Good luck in making yours.

Mrs Santa

Since it is close to Christmas, my youngest daughter wanted me to make her Mr and Mrs Santa. I searched and searched and couldn't find what I like. On revelry.com I found a nice Mr and Mrs Santa but the lady didn't make them available. A week or two after I searched, someone posted on facebook that Sue Pendleton had them available so that is where I got the pattern from. The pattern is different to what I am used to and when I had a read through I kind of gave up. At the end I thought I would give it a go and here it is Mrs Santa. I started Mr Santa when it's done I will show you. I had a ball of chenille that one of my daughters gave me last Christmas and I found use of it now. I did all the edging of the apron the skirt and on her boots. The ears came very good and very easy to make.  Sue Pendleton did such a good job of them, I love how she did the hair, the mouth, and most of it. It never comes exactly like the picture I will never know why. I think she might look better with eye lashes. I added grey to the hair I thought it will look good. The apron is easy to make and the dress.
