Summer Shirts

These are the shirts I made for the girls that match the shirt I made for the ami doll. Very easy to make, just a chevron stitch starting at the top and working to the bottom. A chain tie at the neck and another at the waist. I made them both from cotton yarn. Super easy and super cute!

More from Amigurumi!

This is the final project from the book. She was called Strawbeary. I changed her up a bit. I didn't crochet her clothes to her permanently. But I did crochet her wearing a bra and undies. She had mary jane shoes but I gave her the sandals from another project in the book. Her skirt is made from scrap fabric and a kilt pin and her shirt is a miniature version of one I made for my daughters. I will be posting the pics of those in a little bit. Super simple pattern for all sizes as well.

Amigurumi! Super Happy Cute Crochet

by Elisabeth A. Doherty. I purchased this book the minute it came out and I fell in love with it! She had so many amazing things to make in it. We adored this pig and it was destined to be my first project. If you are looking for a good crochet book this is it! Great pics and patterns, even some helpful tips for those just starting out in amigurumi. My 10 year old (9 at the time) learned alot from the stitches and techniques section. I will be posting some other items I made from this book later. Overall this is one of our favorite books.

whatever...

It seems that no matter what my intentions are I have trouble dealing with this blogging thing. I have been busy creating things and not taking pictures or posting anything so I will try again. This mouse is made using essentially the same pattern as my frog just gave him bigger ears. LOL Hope you enjoy him...

A WHOLE YEAR!!!!

I can't believe it! I will have to start posting at least the pictures of all the things I have made in the past year. I am soooo sorry to have left this for sooooo long.

A New Year

...and a few more hobbies! Geoff got me a sewing machine for Christmas so now I can make different kinds of softies! I am so excited and can't wait to get started. I also started knitting again and I am working on a sweater for CJ and a skirt for Brenna. I nned to find a project for Riley to start on as well. I'm happy to be doing these things but I do wish there was more time in a day!!!
