Meet my Harajuku Girl!

Sakura

Greetings to all!  I’m proud to present my first ever human amigurumi!  It was a lot of fun creating this one.  I’ve been fortunate enough to visit Japan once and I will always remember seeing the outrageous Harajuku fashions!  I’m surprised there aren’t more amigurumi Harajuku dolls out there! Mine was really fun to make, especially trying to decide what sort of cute details to add after the crocheting was finished.     And bright pink hair!  So fun!   This was my first time making hair for a doll and I loved it!  I have lots of ideas for wacky hairstyles… now I have to figure out how to actually execute it!   I’ve started working on the pattern for this doll, so hopefully that will be available to you soon!  In the meantime, I’ve already started on my next project!  Stay tuned!!

 

Timmy the Amigurumi Turtle

So I’ve always wanted to make an amigurumi turtle but haven’t been able to come up with anything I really loved.  I did make one a while back but i wanted to try again.  Timmy Turtle is my newest version.  I’m sure I’ll be trying again. One day I want to try to do a turtle doll with an elaborate shell..I’m already thinking about some cool hexagonal shapes .. I just have to figure out how to make them and and put them together! Anyways, keep an eye out for it in the future.  For now, this little guy will have to do!  I think he’s pretty cute, with his shy smile.  I was debating whether to add the smile at all, but I think I made the right choice!  This easy to follow pattern is available now!

 

 

Lil Quack

One day, I was suddenly hit by an inspiration to make a duck… and wouldn’t it be adorable if I could somehow put it in a sailor outfit?  Well, his outfit turned out to be just a hat and a shawl but I think it came out pretty well.  I love this shade of blue (Silver Blue – Vanna’s Choice) with white.  It just looks so crisp and clean!

This duck is fairly simple to make.  He adds a touch of cuteness to any room, whether it be an office, a nursery, or bedroom… He makes a unique gift for any occasion!

Wasabi

This is a whimsical little bunny that I really enjoyed making.  My 2 year old son actually helped me name this little guy.  He came up one day while I was crocheting, pointed at the yarn and said “That looks like Wasabi!”  He had seen Cars 2 recently and those of you who’ve seen it must remember the wasabi scene with Mater! Anyways, that’s the story behind the name.  I found the most adorable ribbon and instead of tying a bow again, I decided to try a tie instead.  It wasn’t easy to make it look just right but I’m happy with how it came out!  Do you guys like it?  This bunny is easy to construct and the
pattern is available through Etsy and Craftsy!

Meet Haribo!

Here is my newest pattern, Haribo the Bedtime Bear.  One of my young nephews inspired me to create this because he drags his baby bear blanket with him EVERYWHERE!  I thought it would be cute to create a bear that looks like he’s all ready for bed, so I made Haribo wearing cute  footed pajamas.  He makes a fabulous addition to any bedroom or nursery!  The pattern for Haribo is currently being sold on Etsy and Craftsy.
