lovely crochet girl's ruffle skirt

I made this lovely girl's ruffle skirt from a free video too. You need to read diagram to follow this skirt as the lady doesn't show you all the way till finish. I love this skirt and I am making another one. I used 4 ply yarn, half nylon and half acrylic yarn. I don't have anyone to try it on, pity, I would have like to see how it looks. Strange, I seem to be making girls stuff, though I have grandsons. I had girls so I am more confident with girls stuff. I still need to put buttons on the band, so not yet completely finished. I didn't want to go to the shop just for buttons. This one you might find it hard to make the ruffles it was ok for me. I wouldn't used 8 ply acrylic yarn for this.  I added an extra ruffle for mine as I saw it small. I am very, very pleased with this skirt.

Amigurumi grey rabbit

  I have to go to the market in two weeks. So this week I have to try and make as much as I can. It took me all day, to finish one toy, just stopped to eat and wash the dishes. and minus an hour. How can you sell it for peanuts then. Anyway, I never wanted to make these toys to sell them. I wanted to make them for my grand children.Once you start making these toys you will never stop. I always changed my hobby from time to time. I do knitting, painting, ribbons, and whatever I see that I want to try and make but this has been the longest so far. Once in a while I want to make blankets gives me a break from sewing all the pieces from all the toys I make. I think this rabbit came a little too dark for my liking but it turned out ok. There are a few patterns like this rabbit but I made the head like I like. I made it to look chrissmissy if there is such a word. As you can see it turned out very good. Here are some pictures of my rabbit.

Amigurumi cat with skirt

I had to make new stuff for the market so I made this lovely cat similar to Mari-Liis Lille (lilleliis).
You can check out her website she is a very good designer and also has free patterns. I like how it turned up and I did end up selling this ONLY at the market. This lady wanted to pay only $10 for it which I priced it for $27 but I said no, sorry, then she went and came back after some time and told me I love that cat but I have to money to buy it mind you she had a stall. Then just before we closed up the shop here she comes again with short of change to $22 and then I said ok have it. It was a success I have to try and make another one but I never write down anything silly me. Here is the famous cat with a story by the way that lady came and passed by my stall many times checking to see if it was still there. She must have love cats but I need money too that is why I was there for.
