Pink Unicorn

My daughter wanted me to make her a pink unicorn. She chose the pinkest yarn at the store. I didn’t use a pattern. Thinking about making another one since I always learn so much after I create a project. While I was piecing it together, my daughter kept saying it looked like a pig. Well…

Pocket Cthulhu

This past week has been a rough one. Between vehicle issues and limited funds, I just haven’t been in a good mood. But I did whip up this little guy for part of a dirty Santa gift. I call him a pocket Cthulhu. He is about two inches tall. He was super fast to make…

Angry Bird

Angry Birds is my new favorite game for the iPod Touch. Those cute little angry birds just scream ‘crochet me’ every time I play. Today I was playing around and came up with this for the red one. I have some areas to tweak and then will try the yellow and small blue bird. The…

Shiny Pteranodon

I finally finished Shiny – the second Pteranoodon I have made. She turned out pretty good although she is just a tad smaller than the other one. I was hoping she would be much smaller. I plan to redo her maybe with less rows. I might try a very lightweight yarn but not sure if…

Pteranodon

I’m making the Pteranodon family from Dinosaur Train for my daughter. The pattern is from PlanetJune.com. It worked up really fast and was easy. I’m working on Shiny next. This one is going to be the dad. My daughter also wants Buddy who is a T-Rex. So that will probably be my project for the…

Minions

I made these two minions from Despicable me for my nephews. It was their birthday and I had gotten them gift cards. I thought it’d be cute to have the minions ‘hold’ them since we saw the movie a few weeks ago. I’m working on a pattern that hopefully I will post later this week….

Teacup

Teacups in crochet are so cute. They make a great fun toy for little girls. This pattern is from Lion Brand and is actually supposed to be a teacup pincushion. It was really easy to work up and took only about an hour. Four teacups, four plates, and a teapot would be an adorable Christmas…

Flower Pot Amigurumi

I’ve been wanting for a while to make one of these cute patterns featuring pots and flowers. I found one on the Lion Brand website and thought it’d be a perfect little gift for Mother’s Day. My mom loves flowers and has many in her garden. Here is one that needs no watering and weeding….

Hellboy, Jr.

For at least a year, I’ve been wanting to make a Hellboy, Jr. crochet doll. Somewhere we have a Hellboy, Jr. comic book where he is just too adorable and I thought would make a cute amigurumi. This is my first attempt. I couldn’t find any thin, black yarn in my stash so I had…

Mini Malcom Reynolds

I recently made Malcom Reynolds of the TV show ‘Firefly’ for a swap, of course. This was my third attempt. I had never tried to make embroidery thread hair before, so this was a bit of a challenge. I also finally got a crocheted face that I can be proud of. He was inspired by…
