Mmmmm.... Amigurumi Kawaii Cookies

Mmmm... I love cookies!  Especially chocolate ones with chocolate chips!  They're one of my fave treats so I decided it was about time I tried to make a plush one and this is what I came up with. :)  Calorie free cookies. :D

Perfect for any cookie addict and 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. :)

My Monkey Week. :)

I've been busy in my spare time over the last week or so. :)  Busy making monkeys!  I had none left, not one ickle monkey which is very unlike me.  They all went to good homes over the Christmas period so I thought it was time to get them all back in stock.

And then that got me thinking that I don't think I've ever had them all together at once.  So I grabbed this opportunity and got a pic of them all together.  Awwwww..........

Marvin, Millie, Minty, Mollie, Mikey, Mervin and Mia. :)

I'm calling this my Monkey Week. :)  One a day will be heading in to my etsy shop starting today. :D

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. :)

Love is in the air... Amigurumi Robots in Love

I always find January a bit of a hard month.  I think it's just getting over the excitement of Christmas and New Year and then returning to work after a nice break.  Kind of feels like I'm semi-hibernating which is good for my crochet. :P 

My thoughts have turned to Valentine's Day and I've been spending some time making a few love themed items and having some fun, makes a change to bring out all the girly colours as I must admit I'm not a girly girl person. :)  So this post is to introduce my little Amigurumi Robots in Love. :)  I've just listed this pink one at my etsy shop here and there are other colours that will follow on shortly..... like this...

And on the subject of Valentine's Day type things, the Love Blobites are back too in my etsy shop.  These little Loved Up Blobs appeared this time last year so it's been cool to bring them back again. :)

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.

Buttered Toast Kawaii Plush Pin

I just realised I never listed my toast pin I made with my others so have corrected that now. :) It can either be buttered toast or cheese on toast. More about it at my etsy shop here. :)

Yellow Star Kawaii Plush Pin

Continuing my run of felt craft from last week here are some little yellow stars I made. :) I think they turned out quite cute and remind me of the ones in the Mario Nintendo game. :D They can be found in my etsy shop here. :)

Cup of Tea Kawaii Plush Pin

Despite the fact I'm not a tea drinker and don't like the stuff I actually enjoyed making these little pins and found them fun. :D I was pleased with the way they turned out. :)

They can be found at etsy here or folksy here. :)

Tear / Rain Drop Kawaii Plush Pin

I had a couple of days off work last week to give myself a longer weekend and I spent a lot of it watching films and enjoying some felt craft. :)

I haven't made much out of felt lately as I've been enjoying my crochet so much but I've had some ideas going round my head for a while now so it was time to get them out and turn them into real things. :) I've had fun making plushies and little felt pin badges so I'll gradually post them on here starting with this little tear or rain drop pin.





It can be found at etsy here or folksy here. :)

Green UFO (Unidentified Felt Object)

Bored of life on their home planet Felton, UFOs (Unidentified Felt Objects) have come to Earth to seek humans willing to give them a loving home.

UFOs are fully house trained and this green one is available on my etsy shop here.

Blood Bunny

Blood Bunny has only ever known violence.....

Last weekend I had a bit of a bunny obsession going on and came up with a bunny design I was really happy with. :D So I started playing around with it and invented a few bunnies which I thought I'd gradually share with you starting with this one.

More info here.

Thank you to Marmaladytoo for making this fun monkey treasury. :D It was cool to see my little Sleepy J Monkey with all his monkey pals, heehee. :)

I found Nemo! :)

I just listed this clownfish pin badge on my etsy shop. :) I like clownfish.

My brother has a couple and I like watching them when I'm round. That was the main inspiration behind making this pin. :) That and the fact that I love the film Finding Nemo of course. :D

New items. :)

I've listed a couple of new items on etsy over the last couple of days so thought I'd mention them here and a bit about them.
