New Listings

Like I said in my Zombie Bunny Hat pattern post last week, I like to make Blythe hats when bored. Well, I have been very bored lately sooooo... lots of hats! I have made so many that I have decided to put some up on Etsy and see if there is any interest in them :) Up in my shop now are...

Zombie Bunny Hat

Halloween Elf Hat

Skull and Crossbones Elf Hat

Red Flower Helmet

I have other hats sitting around my room, but thought I'd just put 4 up now :) I hope you like!

Free Pattern - Zombie Bunny Hat

Time for another free Blythe pattern lol! I promise - I haven't given up on Amigurumi!


I made this hat for my Blythe Zoe the other evening, whilst bored. I like crocheting little hats when I'm bored as they take no time at all to write and make :) The difference with this pattern is that it's been published over at EssHippo Blythe. I decided to publish it over there instead of here because it is basically a Blythe pattern, and this is more of an amigurumi blog :)

Zombie Bunny also features in the new banner *points above*. I hope you like the changes I made to the blog - I felt it was time for a change :)

Anyways, if you'd like to make a Zombie Bunny Hat for your girl, or for any of your ami's for that matter, head on over to EssHippo!

(Shameless plugging, I know. But what's the point of having your own blog if you can't plug something every now and again?!)

Treasury Feature

The lovely Hollie from the fab Critterstop on Etsy was kind enough to email me today and tell me she had featured Gibbley in her cute new treasury - Critter Time! It's choc full of loads of kawaii cuties, from carrots to monsters; coffee mugs to hamsters! Check it out!

Thank you so much Hollie! *hugs*

Happy Birthday Glen

It's my brothers 24th birthday today. Happy Birthday! :D I don't usually make him much (he's too cool to wear anything I make him...) but this year I made him this Lightning Bolt Scarf in his favorite colour...

Lightning Bolt Scarf
Monkey Waffles


He loved it! He probably won't wear it (lol) but will put it on his wall to pin badges to :) I think I'm going to make myself one in pink!

I loved the pattern, it was really easy to follow. I completed it in about 4 hours, over 2 days - quite a quick scarf :)

Also, while we're on the subject of my brother, he and his band FTL have been recording a new CD this year, and today set up their FaceBook page. You can view it here! There will be a CD out in the up coming months and a proper website too. And a video. And merch. Busy.

(Incase you were wondering - my brother is the one of the far left :) )

A Joint Venture

You may or may not have heard me mention many times on this blog about my good friend Jill, aka OnePinkHippo. This year we were both bitten by the Blythe Bug - it's a dangerous, contagious disease that makes one obsessed with big headed, big eyed dolls...


Valerie-DBF on Flickr has is bad...

Jill and I have talked a whole lot about our own girls and those we've found on Flickr, and we have recently took the plunge and started customising our own. The only thing stopping us from meeting and discussing them further is the silly Atlantic Ocean, as I am in England and Jill in the US. That and about £500 for a plane ticket. So to bridge the gap we have started a joint venture, our very own Blythe blog!

With inspiration from the great Mason Dixon Knitting blog, we will use the blog to write letters to each other about all things Blythe. It will also be a database of Blythe knowledge, including links to free patterns, tried and trusted online stores/seller, customisation tutorials and much more.

So, if you've been bitten by the bug, or you're just curious about these funny looking dolls, pop on over to EssHippo! We'd love to see you there :)
