Nemo
One of my daughters suggested I should make Nemo. So I searched for a Nemo that I liked. I bought the pattern and I tried it out. I like the end result. It is not really that hard but all the joining and hide the yarn so it doesn't come undone took awhile. I would make the fins differently if I do it again. I will make it slightly larger. The colours are stunning orange and white go so well together. I did black stripes because I didn't have darker orange on the fins I like them better. I found the pattern on amigurumi patterns or pinterest search for Nemo. For you out there who wants to give it a go it is not hard and with basic crochet you can do this. You need to also know how to read patterns. Here is mine.

Tiny shoes
I saw a nice pattern of these shoes in red, black and white and I had to try them. I bought the pattern and I had trouble continuing after joining the shoe up. So I contacted the seller of the pattern and she tried to explain but in the meantime, I felt I couldn't do it so I left it for a week, like I always do and finished other stuff that needed finishing. I tend to leave it once I find a problem and it is hard for me to go and keep on working on it. I work tight and the wool was dark and that is also why I couldn't get to the stitch that I had to get to. Since I bought the pattern I had to give it another go so I finally knew what I had to do. Sometimes it is better to leave it and get to it some other day somehow it helps with a fresh mind. Then it was all good for the rest of the shoe. Maybe you guys won't find so hard as I did so try it out. I did mine different colours to fit my grandson's clothing. Here are the pictures of both the blue one is mine. Should have stuffed the shoe with paper for he photo but you get the gist.

Heart with flowers
I was asked to make three of these hearts of flowers. I was supplied with the heart wires and flowers. I have made a florist course many years ago. I made the course with fresh and dry flowers. I have an idea how they are made. I did them in couple of nights here is a picture of one of them. She still haven't seen them and I hope she likes them. I won't be charging her for them. I will keep you posted if she did or not.

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 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.

Large owl
This owl kit was given to me for Christmas. It is fairly large. It is very easy to do. I changed the eyes and the beak and my daughter said it was cuter as the picture so there you go. I don't get the cuteness in toys. In painting the more that looks real the more I think they did a fantastic job. I also like the amigurumi toys to look more real. I did some that do not. Some I like the look others I think I'm able to make. Here is the picture of the owl
