Owl macrame

I did this owl awhile back. I sometimes comes across a craft that I would like to try and this was one of them. I did this by researching you tube and diagrams. It is made of special knots. I used beads for the eyes and a small twig from our garden. I don't think I remember how it's done now or what and how I learnt. I have to go back from scratch if I want to make another one. It was made of recycling stiff string. The craft is called macrame so you can easily search for it. Good luck with it. Here is mine it is very small the owl measures 7 cm and with the tail 13 cm.

AmigurumiBB doll, my version

I made this doll from Vanja's patterns She made this doll very recent and she shared it for free isn't she the most generous,creative, kindest person in the world? I have been looking to make a doll that has moving hands and feet. I almost gave up and then I just saw this pattern.I had to make it. I had made a material doll with some help long time ago. I knew you attach something in the shoulders and thighs. I forgot how we did it but Vanja explains and shows photos how it's done. I changed the hand and did fingers. I like it to look as real as possible and kept going with her pattern I unpicked many times to continue with her rows but I managed at the end. The hair took a long time I split the wool into three strands and then insert it in each hole which seems forever. I don't know where this patience came from. I had trouble making the top so I made the dress myself making sure it fitted the doll. My daughter wanted me to make her lips so I tried. I think pink would have been better then red. I can draw good eyes but embroidering  them is another thing. I still have to make shoes and an apron so the dress is not too plain i will add the photo when it is all done. I will make a male doll. Some pictures for you to see.
