Amigurumi toys

I saw these lovely free patterns and I had to make them. The dog is not small but he is a cute dog. I like how it turned out. I made his overalls myself not from a patterns but the lady has overalls too. She has another type of dog and a cat. I simple loved this dog so I just made him for now. I might make them later. It is from amigurumi today If I'm not mistaken. I also made this teddy, he is tiny but the colour I've used is not as nice. They use different yarn to make this small teddy but I think it is not strong enough. I thought it was cute. I am very selective in what I make I have to like them. It is also a free pattern but I'm afraid this one is in different language. I don't put wires and safety eyes in my toys lately. I don't know what I touched to make it in italics. Here are the pictures of them.

Amigurumi beagle

I was asked by my youngest daughter how long will  take to make a beagle. I asked her why?  In the meantime I found this pattern and started it in case she wanted it. When I was done with it, I showed her the dog and she liked it. She wanted to use it for a birthday cake but I am not sure if she ended up using it. She gave it to her sister in law. It is a free pattern and I 'm glad I got to finish the dark brown wool. I also ran out of brown that is why his ears are have white and half brown but for a dog it doesn't really matter. I am happy when I finish my old yarn don't know if you feel the same. I have a full box of left over mixed colours yarn which I wish to use so I am not left with so many little bits everywhere. This dog could be used as a charm bag. Good luck if you get to make it.

 

Amigurumi sleeping doggy

Hi everyone, I search for things to make and I came across this dog. I love how it came I might make another one beige colour. It  is this free pattern  It is not very big I wish it was though it would be nice to cuddle. Not very hard to make either but lots of sewing. Easy enough pattern for people who can crochet. Good luck with it, here is mine. My youngest daughter like her toys to be made from cotton not acrylic yarn so she might not take this one.It is a  lovely, safe, handmade toy for your little one. There are no wires or safety eyes which they can come apart at times. Lately, I do embroider the eyes.

little chihuahua

I made this little chihuahua from a free pattern that I found in free amigurumi. I like to make small things but they are very challenging to make. It is very fiddly and I think it takes longer too to finish them but they are cuter. It is not hard to do for you out there who wants to give it a go. I made about six of them already. I keep giving them away so I will make one for me to keep. I usually don't like to make the same toy over and over but i do want one of each toy I make. I have never counted them but I think I have made over a hundred so far. To think I just started with a ball, then a ball with eyes. Followed by a snake and then a giraffe with a small blanket. Then I could read patterns and here I am a year it has been. I used to make one a day. I usually work on them after dinner, while the tv is on. It is a great hobby and very rewarding. Anyway about this chihuahua I wasn't very happy so I left it in a bag because in my eyes it wasn't perfect. I thought I will put it together anyhow and I added a flower which made all the difference. This is definitely not suited for little kids. ok here it is

Some of the paintings I've done

Hi, I always liked painting.I find it fascinating how they can create a picture out of paints and brushes on a blank canvas,don't you? I am a person that I like to know how things are made. I'm interested in a lot of things. I am a person who knows a lot of things but master of none. I started painting pictures by painting by numbers. You used to find nicer pictures to buy not these days though.I went for some lessons here ant they don't teach you anything they will help you out on what you don't know. I tried two classes. I should have kept trying to find better classes but I wanted to go close to home. I gave up and tried on my own and these are a few I've done.

My yorkie

I made this from a pattern, that if you had no experience in patterns before, it will be hard to be able to read it. But there is another nice lady who wrote the pattern. If you want to have a go here it is. I will have to make another one, one day. Here is mine. Still have to trim the wool properly. I like to make realistic stuff but sometimes I try something that looks challenging.

My dog

I made this painting about two or three years ago. I never learnt how to paint, though I picked art at school. I never forget, it was a male teacher. It was his first year teaching in a girls school. All he wanted to do was, fool around with the girls. I hate him for it because I was seriously about learning how to draw and paint. Maybe no one can teach you that. It was done free hand no tricks of tracing before hand. I am proud of it at least it resembles a dog. She is so cute.
