Amigurumi dinosaurs

I will tell you how I came to make these dinosaur. I work outside and the weather was overcast so I had an umbrella with me and since it was windy I was looking for a place to put it . Where I work there are construction guys and are working on the road and traffic lights. There was a pipe stuck up and I put my umbrella there not knowing how deep it was. It was for the traffic lights. I was worried for those boys that will come and work there so I told someone about the umbrella being in there. He asked me where and he tried with his hands then stick then he went and got some wire from his car. I was at my work when I heard thank you behind me and voila it was my umbrella thanked him. That day ended up that way. when I saw him next I asked him whattype of beer he liked cause I owed him a couple he said "no don't want any" so I asked him if he had any kids he told me yes he had two boys. I said what do they like he told me dinosaurs. I told him I will see what I can do. i looked for some dinosaur patterns and in the meantime I made them both a beanie which they liked and wore. I still felt that I should make them dinosaurs any way  found these And I made them. The guy was so pleased I bet more then his boys he made me laugh he thanks me so many times. I felt great giving these dinos away when I made someone very happy. that is how and why I done them. My eldest daughter liked the brontosaur for her youngest. since then I made 3 long neck and 2 triceratops.  There is a way not to sew the legs so I did that. You pick up the exact stitches from the body. Ever for the horns I did that. They are free patterns from pinterest. long neck has a tutorial as well I didn't need it.

Amigurumi sheep

My daughter ordered me to make her two lamb, sheep to give them to her boys. I searched how to make the bubble stitch which I had and idea but wanted to know the technic how to put them in between each bubble instead of on top of each other. I watched some videos on you tube and I found a few that I liked. So I started with my toy. I wanted to use cotton and she kind of picked the colours too. I made up my own pattern as I go. I always start by writing but some where along the way I loose track of it. It could be because I could have unpicked a couple of rows. I loose the mark and then I will stop writing it because it might not match the correct stitches and rows. this toy I started by making the legs and joined the body to it. The head,ears and hands were separate. I wanted to avoid some sewing as much as I could to make it nice. I made three altogether and here you can have a look.

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.

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.

My bee

I made a scribble of a bee awhile back and that is what I tried to make. I made the wings out of clear plastic bags. I wanted to use plastic to see how it will turn out. It is just fine to use plastic as well as yarn. About the mouth, I tried to make it like the picture but I thought it wasn't turning out well so I changed it to smiley mouth. I can never unpick my work Because I stitch around many times since kids will be handling it. So here are the pictures.

My made up sloth

I made this sloth without a pattern. I made this for my daughter's birthday.She is madly about sloths.I took notes down it wasn't hard to do. She happened to like it which is nice. She reckons I made a very big snout  NOT LIKELY TO MAKE ANOTHER ONE. I don't like to make the same toy. I am more interested how well it turns out. I like the challenge once lol.

cuddly doll

Here is a doll that I wanted to make for so long but always had something else to do. I made this pattern which  will put the link for you all. I love this doll but it is smaller then I thought it would be. I used the colors that the lady mentioned except for the collar I didn't like it white. I thought why introduce another color. I bought this pattern from Ravelry. It is a cute doll for you all to make not hard at all.

beautiful bug

I love this pattern of this bug. It was easy but I had a little problem with the wings. I am going to make another one different colors. I bought the pattern. I wish I can make my own but I was always good in copying then creating, who know maybe one day I come up with something good. I knew that the wings were done this way but following someone else could be confusing at times. You too should try one of these bugs. They are so cute.

My buzzbee

Hi guys, I just finished making this buzzbee for my grandson. He had a smile when he saw it. He is nearly one and he can recognize it. I had no pattern for it. I tried to copy a picture. It is the best I could do for now I guess.I'm always learning and improving. They say practice makes perfect and it is so. I saw the first toys I made and I can tell you the stuffing showed a little. I crochet tight I thought but I can do it much better now.First picture is the buzzbee I wanted to make but I looked at the videos to look at him sideways, front and back. Anyway here is what my buzzbee looks like. I haven't done things to scale haven't I

Little doll

I made this lovely doll from Amigurumi BB. It wasn't hard to make easy to follow pattern. I did change the dress it was way too short for my doll. I continued increasing stitches according to her pattern and added another frill. I also wanted body to her hair so I added bangs Technic to about four rows from the bottom of the head. It is strange for me to leave her without a mouth and a nose. My girls said leave her to the child's imagination. So here is a picture of her.

Koala

Hi there,
How are you all, who is reading this? I will tell you what I witness yesterday, it was raining, so it was expected, I guess, what I'm about to tell you. I heard a car breaking really hard and I looked to see a car stopping hard because she couldn't make the lights, and she reversed her car a little. Another car holden almost new, stopped behind this wagon car. At this point the green light came and I was looking the other way when I heard a hard smash of a car, so I looked in that direction to see it was the same lady who forgot to change her reverse gear to go forward, poor lady it wasn't her day. The other couple got out to check the damage in their car.  I didn't see any damage, but she had, she dented her car so they exchanged the numbers and whatever necessary. I felt sorry for the lady, now she has to go home and tell her husband and I thought what if he was an angry man.  It was her fault even though they say whoever hit you from the back is at fault. i thought I share that with you guys. I hope I didn't bore you too much.



I am challenging myself in making a koala. I am writing the pattern as I go. I hope it turn out at least ok. Anyone is doing a new thing? I will post a picture of it once I finish it. I finished the koala and I didn't write all the pattern. I was unpicking and it was challenging the way I imagine it to be anyway here is the picture of my koala.
