Amigurumi owl

Hello this is the last toy this week. I don't work on Sundays, I normally research what I will do in the next week. I made this owl it is fairly big. It could be a door stopper if you fill it with pebbles or pellets. The pattern is in different language and I misunderstood a verse I think. I google translate it because I had to make one. I made it with closed eyes for a change. It is easy to make otherwise. I like to try new things. The embroidery on the chest of the owl I have never done. I want to start selling my toys most likely I will open a shop on etsy. 

Cute amigurumi duck

I researched for something cute to make for Easter. I thought I make something small for my grandson. I used the head a body from this pattern, the rest, I made it from my head. My grandson is over two years now and he will play just for a little while with this toy. He will be supervised because of the eyes when he plays with it. He is more into trucks. I don't think ducks have that thing on their heads but I thought it looked cuter with it. I have to try a small thing that I will make to see if I can fluff this wool without ruining the actual duck. It didn't take long to make but I researched for better wings to make. I found this one which I like very much but I can't make the left side. I tried to make it with my left hand but I can't do it. Maybe one of you know how to make the right side of the wing and share it. I am pretty pleased with the result. I used pipe cleaners for the legs. I think my grandson would love this duckling.

Kitty cat

I wanted to make this cat again. I made one like this in brown and had closed eyes. This one has bendable legs and longer too. I put a rattle inside since my youngest daughter wants it. Those paintings my middle daughter did them, how good is she! Not even if I try hard I wouldn't be able to paint them. You know when they were very young, I used to draw things for them and they had to guess what it was. They ate this way with out problems. They say whatever you introduce to kids before three of  age they will grow up doing it. Well I don't know if that's true but all my kids are artists in their own way. My eldest daughter painted all her paintings to decorate her house. I would say she was the least interested and she did the most paintings. My eldest daughter has a professional job. The other two are graphic designers. The put their work on Red bubble and one of their item was in gallery here in Melbourne.

MY Oopsie doll

My oopsie doll I enjoyed making this doll very much. I loved making the curls it took a whole ball of yarn for it. I enjoyed making the skirt of the dress. The pattern was very easy to follow.It took me three days working strictly all afternoons. I am having trouble making the bow, would you believe it? I tried three times already. Haven't given up yet. I can always contact Vanja from Amigurumi BB, the generous lady, who made the pattern and share it. Isn't she wonderful. How I came to make this doll is I was looking to see how a type of her is done.  I liked the hairdo of this doll and decided to do it. I love this doll her boots looks very nice. Here is a picture of my lovely Oopsie doll. I had trouble making her bow but managed after three attempts or four. You can never give up I guess on things.

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.

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

Fred the frog

Fred the frog, I made this one from a pattern. As soon as my daughter saw this frog she said that is mine. I ran out of filling so this frog is filled with clean plastic bags. I think I prefer polyester filling.
A little recycling doesn't hurt anyone. I was looking for small toys so I can attach the key chain to them. It is slightly bigger then I thought but still small. It was quick to do this frog pretty straight forward once you can read the patterns. I had bought these beautiful cats eyes and I wanted to use them. What I realized I need to put pipe cleaners in his legs and make them slightly more longer. Also put weights in the body so he can sit better. My daughter wanted him to have smiley face and some frogs have the eyes looking sideways. Here is the picture of the finished frog. I'm happy when I finish each and every toy, I'm surprised at the end results of how it looks or how I can make it better. I made a grumpy one I like it better and smaller feet.

Little kitty

I made this lovely kitty which I think you will like as well. I made this from Chica outlet. I always put the link to the patterns for you to let you know where I get them. So if you would like to try them it is there. This one is fairly easy. If you use contrasting colours will look great I reckon. It is great for little children as there are no safety eyes no choking hazards. I have to research about the whiskies I'm not quite sure how they stick them on. There is also a flower if you would like to insert one I didn't. Anyway here is the picture of my little kitty cat.

Hippo

I have made this hippo from revelry website. It was hard to make the nostrils I wasn't macthing so I gave up few months back. I decided to give it another go. I was a stitch more so I worked around it. The rest of it is pretty straight forward. Yes I think any experienced person used to make amigurumi can make this beautiful hippo. I like how it looks like the real thing. here are some photos of it. I reckon it took me twelve hours to make.

My bee

I made a scribble of a bee awhile back and that is what I tried to make. I made the wings out of clear plastic bags. I wanted to use plastic to see how it will turn out. It is just fine to use plastic as well as yarn. About the mouth, I tried to make it like the picture but I thought it wasn't turning out well so I changed it to smiley mouth. I can never unpick my work Because I stitch around many times since kids will be handling it. So here are the pictures.

Hoot from a tv show

This is from a kids ' tv show giggle and hoot. I made this as I go no patterns. I wish I wrote the patterns because it came so good. I tried my best to copy as best as I can.

Cute bunny girl

Hello, this time I made a bunny girl. The pattern was in dutch. I thought I give it a try. I had a bit of trouble joining the legs to the body. I didn't understand very well what you had to do. I tried to contact people who did this pattern and the response was use google which I did. The translation is not always right. I did my best and here is the picture. As soon as my daughter saw it she said that for her. It is fairly simple the rest of it. I did another one in brown.

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.

Little doll

I made this lovely doll from Amigurumi BB. It wasn't hard to make easy to follow pattern. I did change the dress it was way too short for my doll. I continued increasing stitches according to her pattern and added another frill. I also wanted body to her hair so I added bangs Technic to about four rows from the bottom of the head. It is strange for me to leave her without a mouth and a nose. My girls said leave her to the child's imagination. So here is a picture of her.

My lovely puppies

Hi everyone! who is interested in making one of these puppies. I made this from a lovely lady who shared it for free. It is not hard to make. Give it a try and you'll see how easy it is. I enjoyed making these dogs, and the combinations of colors is great. They are so cute that it is very hard to part from them. I included eyelids on the pink and blue puppies.I also put paws on the brown dog to see how it will look. See for yourself.

Adorable dog

I made this from Patchwork Moose. Kate E Hancock did a marvelous job creating this pattern. I bought this pattern for $4.75.  I found the pattern easy, well explained. I love this dog he is so adorable. Those eyes steal your heart. Any child with be happy with this toy. It is fun to make and great to gift it.
