My daughter's creative bee

This is how this bee came about. My daughter drew some bees because she is an artist. Not a famous one but she can draw and paint more then me. Anyway she came to me and asked me which one I liked and I told her I liked a few not just one. This particular one somehow I wanted to give it a go so I did. I tried to write the pattern as I go but when I unpick I loose the place. I feel like quitting on that idea of writing my own pattern but you should never give up. The wings were tricky I made  three wings and I finally decided on this one that I used.

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

Maya the bee

 I am happy to say I made Maya the bee with no pattern. You don't know how the finished product will look like till it is finished. I am pleased how it turned out. Maya is a cute bee. I used pipe cleaners in the antenna.
