Amigurumi pig

I wanted to make this pig for my niece. She happen to love pigs. I liked his face and this is a free pattern. The problem is that it is in Russian but if you have followed Russian patterns before you will be able to make this pig. Since I don't read Russian I didn't understood when I should have put the eyes on so I had to embroidery them at the end. She has a techinc how to twist the head and movable legs. I just saw pictures and tried to copy. I couldn't google translate or copy and paste anything. It is a pity there are so many free Russian patterns which I dare not try. I have tried and stopped finishing them where I find I can't keep going. I have made pigs before I like his ears

Crochet sweater

I had yarn and wanted to use it so I searched for something that I can do. I came across this beautiful sweater. There is also a video on you tube I think it is by Bernat yarn. I love the fact there there is something on the front. I like the combination of colours. It is really not hard to make if you can you can follow the video as well. This is made in 5 ply yarn I usually like to use 8 ply yarn. It is very useful to make it for kids. I thought the opening for the head is small so I did an opening at the back. You can alter how you please once you understand how it is done. I still have to attach the buttons on I bought them already.

Crochet handmade girl's coat

I saw this crochet coat and I liked it so much that I had to make it. I like the ears on the hood and the bow at the back. I had to follow a video and I wanted to use her colours yarns too but here we haven't got a big selection.It is not hard to make and since I have grandsons only it will be on etsy. I would like to make one in a single crochet but it might take forever to make. I still haven't found the correct buttons for it. I like to make them in dusty pink or purple pink. I am still looking for the correct buttons My last resolution is white. I love the ears on the hood. Here is the girl's coat.

Handmade Crochet Flowers

I came across some crochet lily flowers. I am always curious of how they are made so I wanted to give these a try. Usually when I don't post anything it is because I am working on something. I found a video which was not in English I  followed this lady through. I wish she had a pattern to follow. I made the long leaves myself but for the front leaves I follow another lady. If you search on you tube you can find these ladies that I'm talking about just search crochet flowers. I added wire and florist tape and arrange them in a pot with white pebbles and florist foam. Calla lily is the easiest flower to make if you want to try. I am fascinated how many things they can do out of crochet. Here are my flowers all made of cotton yarn.

Amigurumi Crochet New Toy

I had some cotton yarn to use so about a year ago I scribbled some designs. This was on the page but I changed the top part. I should have followed it exactly as I drew it back then. It is a toy that I was inspired to make by my grandkids. Also I did ask God to give me some talent to create something. I lack that. I would like to make a pattern one day but since I sell varieties of this design I rather not. I like to make two faces on the toy as it is more fun for kids to have something to look at. I think embroidery thread for this toy was ok. I used alot of blue in this toy on purpose. I wanted to add embellishments to this toy but it might not be safe for small children so I prefer not to. Anyway here it is

Crochet flowers

What can't they do with crochet? I always seem to find to things to try and make. This time I came across these flowers which I loved making. It was soon to be my youngest daughter's birthday and she loves plants so I saw these orchids. since I think I might not understand the patterns I looked for a tutorial on you tube. I thank the people so much for all their tutorials. I have learned so much from them. I found a video, I think she was an Italian lady and I followed her all the way. I used cotton very thin ply and incorporated wires to them. I was pleased with the results. I gave her more presents but she got orchid pot as well. She loved it. I got tempted to try lily and roses too. I would like to make bird of paradise I am a florist it would be nice to make an arrangement of all these flowers who knows if I feel up to it.

Crochet chalk bag

My beautiful niece had her birthday and she wouldn't except money so she asked me to make her a chalk bag. I didn't know what it was so she went and showed me her gym chalk bag. It was very small and I had a look not knowing if I could make her one. She told me roughly the size she wanted and how she wanted it to look like. I said ok to her but I hoped I will find something on you tube for a tutorial or pinterest. So when I got how I searched and searched I found one and saw this guy's tutorial many times till I understood how it was made. I went and bought all the materials so I can start making it. I unpicked and sewed and unpicked till I did it right when it was finished I gave it to her. She loved it so much that she didn't want to use it. lol Here is how it looked like
