Boy's hair clips

I was inspired to make boy's hair clips because of my grandson. He was born with such lovely hair that it is a waist to cut it off. It was strange for me at first seeing him with long hair. I was asking my daughter when she was going to take him for a hair cut. She told me she wasn't so I quit telling after some time and started to live with seeing him having long hair. At first she was cutting his fringe because it was always in his eyes but now she wants to grow it for him, that was when we decided to make boy's clips. We tried to make the clips of the animals or stuff he likes. He definitely likes the bees and we haven't shown him the other new ones yet. They take awhile to make and they are fiddly when it is handmade. I together with my daughter made them out of felt and embroidery thread. Here are our creations. Once you start making them you become to be more creative.

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.

My doll

I've been wanting to make a doll with my own pattern but I always loose the way. I start well and if I unpick that's it. I wanted to make it close to real as possible. I tried to make knees,elbows and chest. I still have to improve around the shoulders. It is not finished yet but I will let you see where I am up to. I still have to do more work to it. I have been working on it every night. I am still thinking how I want her mouth to look like. If I will attach the lips or embroider her lips. I need to do something about her shoes as well add purple and blue to it. I will glue some eye lashes to this doll too. She looks kind of angry with those eyes. I tried to sculpt her face I think I made her look worse.I always challenge myself in trying new stuff . It is not always successful. My dream is to make a pattern of my very own. Maybe I should try simpler toy. The problem with me is I am not creative at all but if I see something I can copy it. I still wish to come up with my cute little toy. I put eye lashes on and embroidered her lips. They came better then I expected. I should get a better needle for that kind of job. I also added frills to her socks and made shoes to match her dress. I know, I know head is bigger in proportion to her body but I wasn't going to make another head.
