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.

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

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.

Recycled baskets

I made the square basket out of magazine and the round basket out of newspaper. I really enjoyed doing these as I always wanted to know how weaving is done. It is an enjoyable hobby and you can make amazing things out of newspaper. Newspaper is very strong when you role them up and you can also colour them if you wish. You can find many videos to teach you how about this topic. I wish you would try it. The Technic is in rolling the paper well. Have fun Guys doing this one. Here is a picture of my baskets.

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.
