Pokeball
My niece is a Pokemon fanatic, so I made her this Pokeball for her birthday.
I modified Deanne’s original pattern a bit, using other books as reference on how to crochet a round ball. I went up to 36 stitches. As I didn’t like how the decreasing stitches looked, I made two halves and stitched it together.
Hippy Hippo
I was purchasing yarn when Nicholas grabbed this color and insisted that I get it. When we got home, he wanted me to make him a hippo.
I sewed Hippy’s (name given by Nicholas) head with the clear thread. But the way Nicholas plays with him, Hippy’s head migth soon “bob” off. Nicholas has ditched his beloved lamb and is currently favouring Hippy.
Olivia Kitty
Olivia Kitty is a transplant survivor! This doll was made for my niece Maddie in honor of her bravery. It’s been 2 years since my niece’s liver transplant and she’s been doing very well.
My favourite details are the Mary Jane shoes and the green organ & transplant awareness ribbon on her shirt. Ssssh, it’s for Maddie’s birthday in Dec.
Rosy, the Cat Puppet
Can’t wait to see my niece, Ruby, play with this kitty puppet, Rosy.
I had to weave yarn over the post behind the eyes so it won’t bother her hand when she plays with it. But I just had to use them because I love the cat eyes, so it was worth the extra effort.
Quilled Halloween Spider
A wonderfully quilled spider spooked us as we opened our gift bag from Tamako. What a great surprise!
Teddy Head (in progress)
A $2 skein of unusual yarn from Dressew and is making the most adorable teddy head. I just love the hand crafted feel of this yarn. Plus the nose is sewn on with a pom-pom and is fun to touch.
Get an Eyeful
Michelle found these Mini Snap Fasteners at Dressew and they make beautiful eyes!
