More Amigurumi Cupcake Plushies

Here are 2 other cupcake plushies I crocheted.
In the pattern, I changed the colors to have a decorative rainbow paper cup.

I really like this colorful cup above. It's a great way to use up the short threads I have.

This one below, I used blue and light blue for the paper cup.
I got slightly longer beads too so I sew them to the frosting, hoping that they'd look more like sprinkles.

The cupcake pattern is available in my etsy shop.

I finished my jewelry projects then Christmas came and I made some presents. It was a busy holidays and I didn't have time to take photos of the finished hats I made.

This year, I started off by finalizing the re-written bunny and panda crochet patterns I thought I had finished in November. The old version of this pattern were written by me in 2007.

Thanks so much for looking!

These dolls are among my early designs when I was starting out writing crochet patterns. I wrote and sold the pattern in 2007, and a few months ago, I decided to improve the pattern and the photos. The result is the pair above. I have sent the new version to everyone who purchased the old version from my etsy store, and I hope they will like it more :)

Granny Squares

It's that time of the year again and I am starting to crochet gift items. These are a pair of granny squares...I am making a hat for my friend. The pattern is from "Simply Creative Crochet" (Premier Issue 2003 - Better Homes and Gardens). There are many projects in the magazine that crocheters will love, like pullovers, a couple of toys, bags, scarf, skirt, hats, etc.

When I finish the hat, I will post a photo. I really like hat patterns. I think my favorite to crochet are hats, and I am lucky to have a friend who loves hats.

Dolls in Costume

Last week, I received a special order for 2 dolls.

Doll in Hippo Suit and Doll in Panda Suit

The doll in panda costume is easy for me to make because I just followed my pattern. The doll in hippo suit is something that's been on my list of things to do, and because of the request, I had to come up with a pattern.

I hope the lady will like these dolls! After I took the photo, I had to pack them in a box...I didn't have the chance to enjoy looking at the dolls in person. A few days after I mailed these dolls, I found myself looking at their photos more and more in my computer :) I think I miss these dolls! But I ran out of stuffing and couldn't make any doll until I get new stuffing again.

I also think I got lucky with the photo...usually it takes me several tries to find one that I like. This one took me only 3-4 tries. I will post more photos as soon as I make another as a model for my pattern. I will also make a "hippo friend" to go with the doll in hippo suit, just like my other dolls in costume patterns :) I am thinking of adding shoes to the pattern version of the doll in hippo suit, or just leave them like that, like babies in suits...perhaps I'd try one with shoes.

Thank you for viewing!
