Tinkerbell!!

This is my Tinkerbell Project! I actually made this for my friend's new baby girl, as a surprise, but I also made another second Tinkerbell for my step-brother's new baby girl as well! This was a great project, the second one went quite a bit quicker, but to be fair, the first one was my first amigurumi project haha so it was just the matter of getting use to crocheting amigurumi style! I did change the size of the doll by using bigger yarn and needles, because I wanted a bigger doll for my friend's little girl to be able to carry with her and cuddle with it at night.

and here are a few pictures of the second on I did :)

I think the body and the hair, in particular, are better the second time I made them, but the eyes and lips I do like better on the first doll.

Happy Crocheting!!!

Kitty Bed

 This is the kitty bed I made for the cats and boy am I happy that I did!! The cats LOVE it! They have each taken their turns sleeping in it but it has become the go to spot for the youngest of the bunch, Monster. I would definitely make another bed for upstairs but this time when joining the circular part of the bed I would attach it all around instead of folding it shut and sewing it.

Japanese Kitty

This is the cat I made from the Japanese pattern, I love it so much, I made it for my youngest niece who wants a reminder of her cat Dakota who she lost early this year. They were best friends for about 10 years, and she loves him very much so I was more than happy to make her a mini Dakota that she could have forever!

Kitty in Monkey Suit

My niece really wanted a Hello Kitty Amigurumi head but I decided to 1 up it and make her a Hello Kitty inspired doll in a monkey suit!! I love monkeys and so she has grown to love monkeys as well, it's our thing :) I think she is going to love it!!

TMNT!!

Can anyone guess what this is the beginning of???? lol ....

 That's right!!! TMNT!! So here's a bit long of a post lol but it does consist of 5 crochet amigurumi dolls!! I made all four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, their weapons, and I decided they wouldn't be complete without their master, Splinter!!

Yay!! Done, this took a little while but so worth the effort! I made these for my boyfriend's birthday, he said he felt like a kid all over again, and smile threw out the day. He said we should turn them into a mobile ( I thought he mean't for kids someday, but he meant for himself haha)


For splinter's coat, I based it off a coat for Yoda I found on Google but I had to basically complete modify it hah, if anyone wants the pattern let me know and I'll find where I wrote it down and I will type it up!

Cheers, xo!

Candy Corn Kitty Sweater

Here's my beautiful Miss Kitty! She is a regular star on my photography blog, a seasoned vet! I made this cat sweater, and although it may fit Mr. Kitty or Monster a bit better, Miss Kitty was around to model it for me. What a good sport haha. 
 Dashing, simply dashing ;) hah

You can find this sweater at the following site; http://diymaven.com/2009/09/09/crochet-a-candy-corn-pet-sweater/
