Amigurumi Baby Birds

Ages ago now, maybe a couple of years ago I used to make Amigurumi Baby Birds but then moved on to other things and kind of forgot about them.  But recently I had a message from someone asking if I could still make them as they'd like to have one.  I felt quite excited about making these cute little birds again so made more colours this time.

As usual they're up for adoption in my etsy shop and it's nice to have them back there. :)

Amigurumi Little Chicks

I've had cravings for Cadbury's Mini Eggs lately which can only mean one thing... Easter is on its way. :P  So I made a mini amigurumi little chick army.  They look quite cute all sat together.  As always they're up for adoption at my etsy shop. :)

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. :)

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 Kawaii Chicks

Continuing with some spring type critters I came up with these little chicks. :)  Thought it would be nice with Easter being the next thing to look forward to.

There was one thing strange though, I bought some Cadburys Mini Eggs to go in the pictures but when I got them back from my boyfriend (who took the photos for me) there seemed to be a lot of eggs missing!  Hmph! :P

Anyway these little chicks will be available from my etsy shop. :)

A little dusting of snow...

Yesterday morning I woke up to a light dusting of snow. Was surprised by this because even though I'd seen the weather was getting colder I didn't think we were due snow here. Thought it was further up north as it is today.

I'm done with the snow now and don't really want anymore. Saying that though it was a perfect reason to get some new photos taken of my little amigurumi snowy owl. I forgot to do it when we had all the heavy stuff but I think it looks nice for the pictures. :)

Amigurumi Owls in Love

Just a quick update tonight as I'm feeling pretty tired.

I just wanted to post about another of my Valentine's Day themed ideas which are Little Owls in Love. :)  They're based on my current owl design but I used pastel shades of blue and pink yarn and then stitched little hearts to their sides. Awww....  I think they make a cute pair. :)

They'll be going up for adoption on my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Robin

Continuing with another of my more winter themed amigurumis this is a little robin I made. Quite an obvious idea after making so many owls recently. :) I actually can't believe we're well into November already! :O I'd better get a move on listing some of my other ones.

Anyway, the robin is up for adoption at my etsy shop. :)

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

Is it Winter yet?

It doesn't seem very wintery to me as it still seems pretty mild at the moment. The weather is a little rainy at times here in the UK but not too cold, doesn't feel like we're about to say goodbye to October and hello to November.

Anyway, I thought I would introduce you to my first wintery themed offering of a little snowy owl which can be adopted at my etsy shop. :) I love making the other owls and thought it would be cool to make a snowy one to add to the collection.

Bunnies and chicks.

I know Valentine's Day is approaching and I did do the Love Blobites with that in mind, but I think I enjoy Easter more in terms of crafting. :) Maybe it's the thought of making cute little bunnies?

I was busy making a custom order of little chicks which was fun to do. Hopefully they will ok for the customer.



And I've also been making some little bunnies. :) One already went to it's new home but they are popping up on my folksy and etsy shop if interested. :)

Amigurumi Baby Robin

This little Robin loves to sit in its nest to stay warm in the colder weather. You can find out more about it at my etsy shop here. :)

Amigurumi Blue Penguin - Pip

Pip the Penguin arrived at the Adoption Centre after he couldn't find his igloo when he got caught out by a heavy snow storm.

He is hoping to find a new home that isn't too hot and a supply of fish. :) More about Pip here.

Amigurumi Yellow Chick - Chesney

Chesney the Chick arrived at the Adoption Centre with a fondness for taking a dip in the puddles when it rains. He likes paddling and practising his quack.

Chesney is hoping to find a fun home and someone who will put up with his quacking. :) More about Chesney here.

Amigurumi Baby Bird - Bobby

Bobby the Baby Bird arrived at the Adoption Centre after his egg (with him inside) fell out of the nest, rolled down a hill and cracked open giving him an early view of the world.

He wants a new home and a place to build himself a nest. More about him here.

I'm having fun with the craft on my week off. :)
