Rioting Ami's

Hey Ho!

I have recently become involved in a trade over on DeviantArt with the fab and amazingly talented Kat250. In exchange for some ami's, I am getting one of her fab dolls! Check out her work here

So I have been busy lately, so you should be seeing a bit more of me lol So far I have these two made:


A pink Gibbley! He looks super cute in pale pink!! A also re-made my Apple In A Pink Cosy...


I have been asked to apply some more blush to the apple, because you can't really see it very well. That's no problem, I have some darker stuff at hand :)

I am currently in the middle of making a Kokeshi doll, in, yep, pink! I have the head done, and have been waiting until today to make the hair, as I had run out of black yarn. So it was off to Hobby Craft today :)

Talking of Hobby Craft - you may have seen in the news about the Riots in the UK. I myself am only 30 mins away from London, so it's been abit tense. On Tuesday night there were reports of Basildon town centre itself being set alight, including my beloved Hobby Craft. Scary times. My brother was out for the evening and went round near the town centre that night, and said there were a ton of police on horseback sealing off the town centre, but fortunatly no fires. Phew! Thankfully things have quietened down in the past few days - I hope things continue to be peaceful :)

3 New Patterns and a Face Lift

I finally got round to uploading my new pictures and banner to my Etsy Shop today. There is a cloud/heavenly theme running through it all - I hope you will like it!

I also uploaded 3 new patterns! We have...

Gibbley - The Monster Under The Bed

Cuddle Monster

Apple In A Suit

I still have the Flumplebee PDF to write out, should be done by Monday. I really hope you like the new patterns - Thank you again to all the people that tested them for me!

I must just say too that I have taken the Uniloomph, Jacob The Jellyfish and Tilly The Turtle pattern down for now. I am still in the middle of re-writing them. They should be back up by Christmas though :)

Hope you like!

4 New Listings!

I've been busy! I've made 4 new Apples In Suits over the past week, and listed them all tonight! Click to apple name to view it on Etsy!

Pirate Apple
Thought it would be fun to make a pirate themed apple! He has one eye, an eye patch and is clothed in a brown cosy with gold coloured pirate-y button.

Bad Apple
He's a baaaaad apple! Mainly due to the fact he's wearing black eye shadow (don't know why that makes him bad lol!). He's in a black cosy with a simple red plastic button.

Multicoloured Apple
I found this fab self-striping yarn at Wilkinsons back in December and decided to buy a ball. I'm glad I did, as it makes a fab cosy! Complete with a darkish pink plastic button.

Pink Apple
Had to do an apple in a pink cosy! She also has a light pink star button to add to the kawaii-ness :)

As always, if you would like an Apple in a Suit but with a different colour cosy I can do that for you :)

I hope you all like! :D

Coming Soon

I've been taking on board everything that people have been asking to see in my shop, and have started making a few new pieces. This is the first thing I made, an amigurumi apple in a removable apple cosy!

He/she dosn't have a name - I think I'm just gonna call them apples in cosies :S This one and a few other colour ones will be available in my Etsy shop by the end of the week :)

Thank you to Lauren for the inspiration to make this! :D

Late Nights

One of my problems is my sleep pattern. It's not so much of a problem for me, as just a bit weird.
My sleep pattern is reversed, I sleep for alot of the day and am awake for most of the night. It's got that way over the years, since I got ill in 2001, and it's just slipped out of control.
I don't mind too much, as it means I have the house to myself in the hours whilst everyone's asleep. I like my own company lol! I do alot of crocheting in the small hours, and with no one around it means I get quite alot done.
Last night was one of those times. I finished a scarf I've been making for a swap on Craftster (I'm not gonna post pictures incase my partner sees it...), I wrote a pattern for and made 3 chapstick cosys (I'm thinking of posting the pattern on this blog next week) and I completed the octopus I was telling you about. I finally got to the town on Friday to buy some more yarn, so I could finish off his legs. Here he is...


He doesn't have a name yet. Any suggestions?! And I'm thinking of making him some friends.

So yeah, that's what I do whilst everyones asleep. It's not too bad, just it gets annoying when there's places I want to go during the day! I'm like a bat lol
