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*

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 :)

Etsy Treasury Feature

I was thrilled today to get an email from Etsy saying Gibbley had been included in Simply Made By Erin's super kawaii treasury, My Little Monster!

Inspired by her 3 year old son Owen, it features some extremely cute Monster themed items. Thank You Erin!

Also, check out Erin's Blog for some great crochet and craft bits!

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!

Testers Needed!

I usually ask around on Craftster for my pattern testers, but thought I'd ask on here seeing as we have alot of crocheters :)

I'm looking for a couple of testers for Gibbley...

... and a couple for Cuddle Monster too.

It's first come, first serve! But be warned - they are pretty big patterns - Gibbleys head is 60 stitches round and Cuddle Monster is 9'' tall using DK yarn, just to give you an idea. All testers would be greatly appreciated! I'd ideally need the amis completed in 2 weeks, so I can edit the patterns with your suggestions and take photos etc.

If you would like to test for me, just comment below leaving your email address or email me at esshaych@hotmail.co.uk.

Thank you in advance!! :D

Monster Under The Bed Finished!

I finished Gibbley today! Here he is...

Yay! I'm happy with the way he turned out - though I would've liked for his feet to be a bit bigger.

He was made with the usual acrylic yarn and a 3.25mm hook. He has a horn in the middle of his head, folded ears, fangs, stripy body and a fluffy tail...

I entered him into the contest - see all the other enteries here!

The contest isn't for a Monster Under The Bed anymore - it's just for random monsters. But Gibbley is still the Monster Under The Bed! He won't hurt or scare you though - he just wants to jump in with you for a snuggle!

I hope you like him!

Monster Under The Bed

There is another contest on this month over at the Simply Plush group on DA, and I had to enter this one too when I found out what you have to make!

This month it's all about 'The Monster Under Your Bed'! I love monsters, so couldn't resist this contest! I drew afew ideas in my sketch book and got crocheting. This is what I have so far...


A monster head lol! It's 60 stitches round, using a 3.25mm hook and acrylic yarn. He has a horn in the middle of his head, 2 folded ears and fangs! Next I will be making the body. I'm all done on my custom orders now, so I can concentrate on this little guy! I think I'm going to call him Gibbley <3

I will post pictures as I progress with him!
