Embroidery

Recently I have started doing some embroidery. I really like the simplicity of embroidery. The projects are really easy to personalise, and can be completed very quickly. Embroidery can also be used to decorate almost anything. Be it dish towels or birthday cards embroidery always livens up any plain textile.

New Humanoid!

I made another humanoid... seriously. I couldn'tresist thinking what this one would look like!
I have one golden rule from now on.... make all
stitches tight and neat. personally, presentation is
everything for me...

Anyway, enough about my new ways. Take a look :

                                   

Here she is! alot smaller than my other

doll, Eva.I decreased the size of my hook

from 4.00 mm hook to a size 3.00 mm

hook, resulting in tighter, better looking

stitches. Also you cant really see very

well but she has the same type of eyelids

as Eva,except in blue.I have finished the

wig proto-type, and just ready to knit

it in neat. Again I am going to sew the

clothes properly this time using a sewing

machine. Another thing I am considering

is my colour schemes. When choosing wool, 

i'll try not  to go for the so obvious colours....

Oldies:)

Here are some of the amigurumis that I have made a long time ago, but just haven't had the time to blog... take a look :)

                                                     

 This one above is an Amineko. 

Its kind of a popular Japanese sleepy cat.

Very simple pattern + very easy to make.

the perfect project for any beginner!

 I made it in about 3-4 days:) Its also

weighted at the bottom by PVC pellets or 

wax beads..well In my case,money ;-)

sometime I think "what if I made him bigger?"

Hmmmm.... I give myself possibilities....       

This little fatty above is my 

own design. Made completely with

insparation:) from the head to the toe

Is all one piece. the arms are sewed

on later, along with his ears. His feet 

are inspired by the humanoid pattern 

from super happy crochet cute :)

So these are just some of the amigurumis that I have made I plan 

to make soo many more :D... I try to draft out patterns on paper.

it would really help if I could make a bunch of my own patterns:)

The possibilities are endless!!! 

                                             

New yarn box ... *YAY*....

Today I bought a new yarn box from the local pound store. (my mum wanted to stop making me putting my work mess everywhere)

She's ready :D !

hi everyone guess what.... I have finished the doll I have been making !!! And she has a name now....Eva! I officially named her today. She has red hair that i made from biscuithouse's doll hair tutorial (just scroll down you should find the tutorial, 2nd post to last)



On her head she wears a little blue flower motif that I made this morning (It matches her kind of beachy sarong). I even added a bit of cheap blush onto her cheeks to make them rosy red :D

New amigurumi !

Hi everyone, I know is been a while since I posted anything, but I have been busy with so many other things! I just havent found the time to sit down and blog... (O well:)...) I have started to make a new amigurumi from the book, Amigurumi super happy crochet cute, By Elisabeth A. Doherty. Its a great book and very fun too.the patterns are very easy to understand.
Elisabeth has a popular blog Gourmet amigurumi.
I am really happy how this one has turned out and I love the details. especially the nose ,eyelids etc. ;)

A cute amigurumi ladybird for the teacher...

Some time ago I was given a comission from the teacher, to make a cute ladybird. It was my own pattern that I invented whilst I was making it.It was quite simple and did not take a lot of skill, But I had problems with the antlers, They would not stay!!! but I fixed it by sewing them down and on top using cellotape. useful tip.(if your ever thinking about making a ladybug that is ;) )
