My boy from Amigurumi BB

I made this boy from the free pattern of Amigurumi BB. I used metal joints because I wanted it to be stronger. I was more happy with making the girl then the boy, why, I think I hate to make the same pattern twice. I made a large mouth thinking it would be smiling but I had to unpick it as I thought it was way too large as you can see from the photos. I tried to make tips in the boy's hair. I think I better stick to making animals dolls are harder. I think the girl came prettier. Anyway if you like to give it a go it is not really that hard to follow the pattern. Vanja the lady that did this pattern explain it very well. Good luck!

Little Ted

I wanted a small teddy bear to attach it to a key clasp but this came big to use it for that. I made this little Ted from Sheep of Delight. I like it because I didn't have to do a muzzle separate. I wanted to try and see how it is made attached to the head. the pattern is easy so give it a try. The end results is cute. I made the mouth different to hers. Here is my picture.

restoration rocking chair

I saw this rocking chair outside a front garden of a house, and I had a big idea to restore it. Recycle it I thought. So I knocked on the door. A young guy opened the door, I asked him can I please have the chair that you have on your front garden. He said sure and helped me load it in my car. I thanked him and went home. I thought I wouldn't do a good job dismantle it so I asked my man to do it. I bought material and new sponges cut to size. We gave the chair a good paint. We put it all together and here it is.  My eldest daughter loved it and she took it home in one of her bedrooms.
