Look what the rain made me do!

Even in the Darkness We Still Go Searching for the Light

It's been such a dark, gloomy and rainy day today.  Really dark.  It felt like I shouldn't be awake and should be tucked up in bed.

Well anyway I thought it could be a good time to paint and I was in the mood so I put on some Muse and painted this little watercolour.  It's a vampire as I love vampire things and it's seeking the moonlight in its dark world.  A dark painting for a dark day. :)

More Amigurumi Voodoo Dolls

I was asked to make a couple of Amigurumi Voodoo Dolls as a custom order. I've been making a few voodoo dolls over the past few months and love making them so it was nice to take on this custom order. I enjoyed making these two. Melvin and Matilda their names are (chosen by the customer) and I think they're too cute. :)

I've also had Voodoo Bunnies on the brain and just finished a black and purple one earlier too which I've become quite fond of. :)

Amigurumi Little Panda Bears

I think pandas look so cute. :)  Haven't made any for a while so I thought I'd make a little one which turned out quite cute I reckon.  And then for some reason I decided to make an ultra rare pink panda. :P  They can be adopted at my etsy shop as usual or I've also got the crochet pattern up for sale here also.

Been busy making a few things lately and just need to take pictures of them so will update soon about those. :)

Amigurumi Fox Cub

For a little while now I've been thinking about crocheting a fox as it's an animal I haven't attempted before and thought it would go well with some of my Autumn Woodland creations.  I wasn't totally sure how I was going to do it though.  It was something I didn't get around to doing last year!

I doodled it first on a scrap of paper and then set to work and came up with this little cub.  I'm pleased with it.  I know it's not so traditional fox like but I made it to look how it would appeal more to me, lol.

It's up for adoption at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Kittens

I love cats and kittens, cats are my most favourite animal ever so I thought I'd make a little batch of kittens in various colours. :)  Here is the little gang pictured above.  Light brown, black, grey, cream and ginger.

My mum just recently got two little kittens - one is a tabby and the other is black and white.  They are just totally adorable and so playful and fun to watch. :)

Anyway these little kitties will all gradually be going up for adoption at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Halloween Candy Corn Man

I was thinking about Halloween again last night as there are so many fun things you can make for it which usually you might not think of.  Well I ended up making this weird little guy who is an Amigurumi Candy Corn Man. :)

Now I know in the UK we're not much familiar with Candy Corn but in America they're a really popular sweet especially around Autumn and Halloween time.  He's weird but he made me smile. :P

He can be adopted from my etsy shop.

Amigurumi Skeleton

Wow I didn't realise it had been so long since I updated my blog!  Almost a month, that has gone past so quickly! Been busy going to various music festivals and working, although I've also been busy making lots of new things but I just hadn't got them all photographed until now. :)

Prepare for much more regular updates in the near future as I unleash all my new stuff, heehee. :)

I'm starting off today with my Amigurumi Skeleton.  Over at the Theme Challenge Group on flickr their current challenge is "Graveyards" so I thought I'd join in and make this little Skeleton Dude since it's coming up to Autumn and then Halloween and all of that.

Amigurumi Skeleton can be adopted at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Panda.

Feels like a while ago since I updated my blog.  I've been a little busy lately working on some new designs.  I'll reveal those another time but I've been quite excited about them and also feeling quite inspired that I keep making new stuff.  Haven't got pictures of them yet but they'll be here soon. :)

So as well as working on new designs I've been busy making some custom orders for people.  I thought I'd share a couple on here.  One is an Amigurumi Panda which I loved making, it's been a while since I made a panda so that was cool to make.  And then a little Amigurumi Lamb which is going to be a pet for a Blythe Doll.  I hadn't thought about making pets for dolls before but I hope the doll with like it, lol. :)

New Amigurumi Owls

It's been a busy week for me this week as I had a trip up to Liverpool to see some friends and also went to a concert, and then yesterday I was out at the Download music festival all day.  Luckily the weather stayed dry and I had a good time. :)

Tired today but I still wanted to blog about my new owls I made recently.  I love my little owls.  I must admit I'm not much of a bird person but I do like owls and thought I'd make a couple of new shades to go with the others I had so there's now a black/grey one and also a different shade of brown.

Available on my etsy shop as usual. :)

Introducing Misty the monkey...

I just wanted to make a post to introduce my new amigurumi monkey - Misty. :)  Misty the Monkey likes the night life and enjoys meeting up with friends and to have fun. She also enjoys a film or two and especially likes comedies.  Misty loves popcorn too.

Here's Misty hanging out with ner friends...

From left (back) to right is Mollie, Misty, Mikey and then Minty and Millie. :)  All available at my etsy shop.

Amigurumi Felix "Scout" McFrosty Penguin

Some of you may recognise this little fellow. :)  When I first started up on etsy I made felt plushies although the amigurumi crochet kind of took over in the end.  Well this is a little character my boyfriend designed for me and I think he's so cute. :)  He started off as a felt plushie and that's the way he's been for the last two and a half years or so.

But with deciding to concentrate more on my crochet I didn't want to lose some of my much loved felt plushie characters so I thought I'd gradually convert them to yarn and make little amigurumi critters out of them.  So here's Felix and in case he's new to you, here's his story...

Felix is on a mission from the Antarctic. Having heard about global warming his penguin clan sent him away to gather information on the world without snow and ice. Sadly, this was years ago and he is now lost and can't find his way home.

Fish was his favourite food but since leaving the Antarctic he has discovered a love for jelly babies.

Felix can be adopted at either my etsy shop or my folksy shop. :)

Amigurumi Bumblebees

I like bees. :)  I think bees are quite cute, all fuzzy and flower loving.  Buzzing around and going about their business making honey and stuff.  Unlike wasps which make me run off whenever they come near - eugh!  I hate wasps and been stung on more than one occasion.

So with my new found Spring inspiration I thought I would make a bee... and then another one... and another one... I think they look cute together. :)  These will be buzzing their way on to my etsy shop if interested in adopting. :)

Amigurumi Black Penguin

It's November! :O Can't believe we're in November already! This year is just going so quickly now! I thought I would celebrate the start of it with posting another one of my winter themed critters and here is a little black penguin I made. :)

I love penguins, they're so cute. :D

Amigurumi Skull Pin Cushion

I felt like making something a little bit different and decided on a pin cushion, no idea why but it was fun to make. :) I decided on making a skull one since it seemed quite fitting with it coming up to Halloween and all. No idea if people will like it but it's up and available on my etsy shop if interested.

Amigurumi Panda

Recently I watched Kung Fu Panda for the first time - hadn't seen it before but I think pandas are so cute. After that it made me want to crochet a panda and I ended up with this little thing. :) It's available for adoption at my etsy shop of course. :)

It's only the second panda I've made and the first one was done over a year ago now. Was nice to do something different. :)

Amigurumi Skeleton

I know Halloween is still a long way off yet but we get such little time to think about it and make stuff that we might not usually think of so why not start now? :)

I made a little Amigurumi Skeleton and thought I'd share him on my blog. He can be adopted at my etsy shop here. :)

Amigurumi Bunny Rabbits

I've been making little Amigurumi Bunnies over the weekend. :) I wanted a design that was fairly simple without many limbs but still (hopefully) appealing to look at. Sometimes I dislike sewing limbs on, it's my least favourite part! Just makes a change to create a few things where you don't have to do much of it. :P

I've enjoyed making these little bunnies though and they look quite cute sitting there together, I want to make more in other brighter colours too. They can be adopted from my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Little Lambs

I love lambs and sheep and think they look so cute all out in the fields together. :) With this in mind I had to have a go at making little lambs and I was pleased with how they came out. Small but full of cute. :)

They can be adopted from http://www.cutedesigns.co.uk or from my etsy shop. :)

Little Plush Panda

I hadn't made anything purely out of felt for quite a while so I thought I'd make something new and fun and instead of doing my large plushies I thought I'd make something smaller. :)

I came up with this little cute Panda which can be found in my etsy shop here. :)

I quite enjoyed making it and might make other animals in a similar way.

Amigurumi Red Devil

This is a naughty little devil who loves getting up to no good. You have to keep a close watch on it. :)

More about this little devil on my etsy shop here. :)
