Very bad watercolour alert!

Love Blobites

I thought I'd try something a little different with my latest painting project and take away my black outlines and try and paint without them.  Oh my god, I found it tricky, it was weird and like I couldn't paint.  Meep!  I finished it but I have to say I didn't enjoy it as I just wasn't pleased with the result but I thought I'd post it as you have to see the bad as well as the good to improve, right? :)

By the way this is a painting of my little Amigurumi Love Blobites that I crochet sometimes, I thought they'd be an easy thing to start with but they weren't. :P  I'm not sure painting without the black outlines is really me, I might try something else though and see how I get on, or put the lines back. :)

Amigurumi Unicorn

I realised I haven't updated my blog for ages!  Naughty me! It's not because I haven't been making new stuff, far from it.  I've made lots of new things lately but I suppose with trying to update my website, etsy, instagram, facebook, twitter etc I sort of forgot about my blog!

So I'm going to try and update with all my new things and I'm starting with my Amigurumi Unicorn. :)  I'd been wanting to make a Unicorn for ages so it felt good to finally get there.  It can be adopted from my etsy shop here. :)

Amigurumi Grey Bunny

It's a nice day today so I thought I'd take my newly finished Amigurumi Grey Bunny out in to the garden for pictures. :)  Turned out quite cute I reckon.  I started it a little while ago but then got busy and managed to finish it off yesterday... finally!

As usual it's up for adoption in my etsy shop. :)

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 Ginger Hamster Squishling

I made a Hamster Squishling! :)

Squishlings are vibrant and happy little creatures who, like their name sake feel squishy to the touch. :)

This little Hamster can be adopted from my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Kawaii Pink Bear

Just thought I'd share this little Amigurumi Pink Bear I made yesterday while enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon on the sofa watching a film. :)  Crocheting and watching tv works for me - relaxing. :)

Anyway this little one can be adopted from my etsy shop as usual. :)

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 Lambs

I'm feeling all Spring-ified. :)  Although it's trying to rain now, the sun was shining when I first woke up today!  Anyway with spring comes little cute lambs so I have been making a couple. :)  One grey and white and the other pink and white.  Cute little things.

Up for adoption at my etsy shop..... thinking of other spring things now too..... :D

Amigurumi Happy Pills

Brighten up someone's day with an Amigurumi Happy Pill. :)  There's currently a choice of three colours - yellow, blue and pink.

They can be found at my etsy shop. :P

Amigurumi Pink Bears

I haven't posted in a little while so first of I'll start off by saying Happy New Year!

I got quite busy towards the end of last year but back with some new bears. :)  They've gone all pink with Valentine's Day in mind.  Very pink! :P

As always they can be adopted at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Green Love Blobite

My Love Blobites aren't new but this green one is a new addition. :)  I was asked if I could make a custom order of a green one and it came out looking quite cute and all bright and green so I thought I'd add it to the selection :)

For those who aren't familiar with my Love Blobites you can read more and adopt one at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Bunny Rabbits

Just a quick blog post today as it's been a busy day at work and I'm kind of in the mood to play lots of Dragon Quest on my DS this evening. :)

But I still wanted to introduce these two little characters.  They are my new amigurumi bunny rabbits and available for adoption at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Pink Marshmallow Monster

I was just having some fun and thought I'd sit down with my yarn and just start crocheting and see what I ended up with.  Well this quirky little thing was it! :P

I've called it a Marshmallow Monster and it came to be when a few pieces of marshmallow got squashed together and formed in to one.   It's up for adoption at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Rainbow Drops

And now for something new. :)

These little things were inspired by rainbows.... obviously. :) They're called Rainbow Drops and it's thought these pretty little droplets of colour are formed when ordinary dull raindrops pass through the colours of a rainbow.

Loved making these and fun to use such bright yarn colours as I don't always get to use red and orange for example. :) These will gradually be listed for adoption at my etsy shop.

Amigurumi Cups of Tea

Quite a while ago now I crocheted a white cup of tea which is kind of unusual for me as I don't actually like or drink tea and coffee although I do like a hot chocolate.  Mmmm.......

For ages I've wanted to go back and crochet more cups of tea in other colours instead of just white and recently I made sure I did it and I thought I'd post them up on my blog. :)  It's cute seeing them all together.

Up for adoption at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Ice-Creams

Wow!  It's been such a hot weekend here in the UK!  That's quite unusual for us, heehee. :P  Especially in May.  Today in particular really has been hot.  Too hot for me if I'm honest as I don't like hot weather.

So I've been trying to stay cool by keeping in the shade, eating ice-cream and crocheting..... which then lead to me crocheting ice-creams too and I came up with these little cones flavoured in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. :)  All up for adoption at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Kawaii Pastel Bunnies

It's still all about the bunnies for me. :)  I have been enjoying crocheting this set of cute little bunnies all in nice pastel colours which I thought would look nice for spring. :)

Loved making these bunnies, they were fun and look so cute together.  They are up for adoption at my etsy shop.

Amigurumi Pink Bunny - Rosie

Rosie is a pink bunny I crocheted recently and she's been adopted by a friend of mine but I thought I'd post about her anyway and show her on here. :)

Rosie is a happy little bunny who loves to go out for walks and hops on a nice day. She also has a fondness for strawberries and raspberries and loves listening to music. :)

Amigurumi Mimi "Pinkee" Bunny

Mimi "Pinkee" Bunny is another of my "character amigurumis" where she started off as a felt plushie but I wanted to transfer her over to crochet now. :)  Since we're coming up to Easter what perfect time to introduce a little bunny.

Mimi Bunny was a pure white rabbit when she was born but became obsessed with pink from an early age. Everything had to be pink and gradually over time she turned pink herself (apart from her tail) and adopted the name of "Pinkee". She lives in a little pink world of her own, but she's kind and has a big heart.

She craves pink cupcakes and many believe they are the secret to her pinkness.

Mimi can be adopted at my etsy shop. :)

Amigurumi Cats

Cats are my absolute favourite animal!  I've grown up with them and always had a cat about, they're just such cute, fun and curious little creatures. :)  So that may come as a surprise that there's rarely been an amigurumi cat in my shop to purchase over the last couple of years or so.

I've made a couple at various times but they just didn't look quite right to me, I don't know why.  I think cats are quite tough animals to do justice as they can come out looking evil.  Anyway I tried a new design which started out as a doodle in my notebook and was chuffed with the result. :)  I'm finally pleased with my cat design, so much so that I made two of them. :)  I love their little bells on their collars.

These little cuties will be up for adoption in my etsy shop. :)
