Hi all, just put some more photo's of other Amigurumi I have done on site. Some from Tamie Snow and others from patterns i found on the net, I will post the sites under the photos in case you want to give them a go too. I'm working on a humanoid Amigurumi at the moment. Elly (above) was my first humanoid Amigurumi, once I made her I was so excited I scoured the net for more free patterns, I came across Elizabeth D's blog and fell in love with her stuff, as i have said in previous blogs I even bought a pattern from her. She made me want to try and create my own humanoid Amigurumi, so I have been painstakingly trying to write my own pattern for about 3 weeks now, and can I tell you it doesn't come easy to me, But hey I'm powering on and I hope soon you will be looking at some of my own one of a kind Amieegurumi!!!!! Cheers!Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Good morning crafters!!! Here are some pic's of my first ever Amigurumi :) I found the pattern on this website http://pepperberry.typepad.com/my_weblog/amigurumi-alien-pattern.html
I saw him and just thought he was the cutest little alien I had ever seen!
Slowly but surely I will have more to show...
I also just finished my first ever crochet dog coat. Poppet is only 5 months and I know she is going to get bigger *sad face* so I didn't want to buy her a coat just to have her grow out of it in 5 min so I made one. I did a little research on the internet as I have never crochet anything other than warm blankets, I found a whole bunch of patterns for free but they weren't what I wanted!! So I ventured in blind, just crocheting a few granny squares, sewed them together for a base, added some half double crochet around the whole thing (including leg holes *sigh*) continued with them up the neck and hey presto! It fit and cost about $2 to make so, happy days! :D
This is Poppet by the way :) or also known as Mrs Pop, Pop, Popup, Poffertjer, Pancakes, Dutch Pancakes, Crazy and Cookies. She is my little princess and I had been waiting a long time for her, she is my first real pet. I don't count fish or rabbits sorry :)
It's 8 am and I have some felt to get for my new Amigurumi so I will chat soon. Happy crafting!!

Hi there family & friends & anyone else who could possibly be interested! Welcome fellow crafters! :) I do hope you will bear with me while i learn the basics of site building and management.
So, here is my first blog post! OK here goes, since I mainly started this blog to share with the crafting communities, I’ll start with some projects I’ve been working on (or am planning t0 work on). I would love to work on my sewing skills, making bags and skirts that kind of thing! Every time pay day comes around my mouth fills with saliva at the thought of traveling to spotlight to look at material and craft!!! Although it is so much more limited here. I probably need to buy more online! I did just purchase my first online pattern at Etzy (will figure out links soon enough!) it was an Amigurumi Fawn by Elisabeth D of Gourmet Amigurumi who in my opinion is in a league of her own!!! Check out her site if you have a chance!! Seriously my idol!! So i have that to go on with... I also have 2-3 dolls on the go at the moment, it's all experimental at this stage but you never know!
I have only just found Amigurumi ( i think it means crochet dolls in Japanese?) i was in a book store and saw Tamie Snow's book and i just couldn't put it back on the shelf! So for the last 3 weeks i have been crocheting like mad XD! One of my fingers is so swollen and hurts so much, but i just can't stop. The things we do for the love of craft! :P
I’ll need to work out Flickr or something like that to get the photos happening as well! I have a few Amigurumi i have completed from Tamie Snow's book and from patterns i found on the internet, once i have the photo side of things worked out i will post the links with the photo's if your interested?
Ok ok enough rambling on it's past 11 pm an i got up at 6 am so I'm wanting to fall into a blissful sleep! That is until Poppet's infernal kisses wakes me at 6 am tomorrow as well!! Ahhh
