Little Mouth, Summer Fair and a Royal Wedding

Currently Listening To: Stranger Things Have Happened - Foo Fighters/ Drinking: Blue Charge/ Feeling: Hyper!

Loooong post today!

First up: Remember Morris Mouth? Well I needed some testers for his pattern before I can put him in my Etsy shop, and I got loads of takers from my Facebook Fan Page! Here are a couple of the Morris' made!

Teeny Tiny Morris!! This little guy is only 4'' tall, including hat, and was made by Linda. He was made with craft thread! *Squee!*

This cute Morris is by Courtney, and is named Maurissa! I love the use of buttons for her right eye! Also in the picture, for scale, is Courtneys lovely cat Bella!

Thank you both for testing Morris for me, you did a fab job!

Ready for the Royal wedding?! It's been mad on the telly over here in England. People have been camping outside the palace and the cathedral for weeks. We're even having a street party in my area lol I only live 30mins away from central London, so I could go and have a look, but it's gonna be sooooo packed. Might just watch it on BBC from the comfort of my house instead and do some crocheting lol!

But I do think they make a lovely couple, and I wish them all the best for many happy years together :)

Alllllso this weekend I have the Now, Voyager Craft and Vintage fair coming up! I am mostly done with all the crocheting, just need to price up and everything. You can checkout the fair and all the stall holders (including me!!) at the official blog here!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! :D

What I've Been Making

Currently Listening To: One - Metallca/ Drinking - Blue Charge (cheap Red Bull :P)/ Making - Blythe Jumper

Got a bumper issue of What I've Been Making this week! First off I made this Mutant Cactus, he's (they're) number 105 :) The tall thin guy has a special eye and is crying, bless him! I'm gonna keep this one me thinks :)

This guy is the very first Morris Mouth I made. He lives with me :)

Another Mini Pillow Pal, this time for the craft fair I am taking part in in Southend on May 1st. While I'm in Southend I'm gonna get more of them cool buttons I use for their eyes, they're fab!

This is Lulu, my new doll pattern :) She's got a big head and a tiny body, and curley hair. I made the hair by cutting the yarn into little strips, then seperating it. The result is thin, curley hair! Pattern to follow...

I made these 2 for a fellow DA member last week, was nice to make a turtle again, haven't made one in ages!

And last but not least, an Alien Bunny in a yellow hoodie lol! I made him for my swap partner in the Amigurumi Addiction 2 Swap over on Craftster. He is made of baby dk yarn and the hoddie is made of Supersoft Aran, the same stuff the Mini Pillow Pals are made of. He also has wire in his arms and legs, so he is posable. My partner loved him!

Wow, alot of stuff! I'm still really busy with it all, was up until 3am last night crocheting. And I still have to post pictures of my girl Zoe, but we haven't had an oppertunity for a proper photo shoot yet. She got a mini guitar yesterday! It's a flying V! Weeeee!!

Hope everyones having a great weekend! :D

Morris Mouth

I have a new ami to introduce to you, he's name is Morris Mouth!

Isn't he fun?!! He came into being back in February when I got an email from the lovely Mika, who was an Etsy customer of mine. She said she had some designs and generously said I could use them to base some ami's around. Here is her concept sketch...

The major problem I had with him was the mouth. It dips in in the middle, so I needed to make a kind of oval bowl. It was one of the most complicated patterns I've written, but I think he was worth it :) I also added a top hat and a cane lol!

Here's a picture of me holding him, for scale...

This version of Morris went to live with Mika. For her contributions I am sending her the ami's made from the patterns. So that means there will be more to come!! At the moment I am mega busy with crafting for a craft and vintage fair I have coming up in May (did I tell you about that?!) so I don't have alot of time to write patterns at the moment. But when I get a break I will be working on..... lets just say it's a twist on an existing animal :)

I hope you like Morris Mouth! I will be putting the pattern for him up in my Etsy shop some time this month, he will be $3/£1.88 :D

Oh, and my Blythe doll arrived this week!! I called her Zoe, and will be posting pictures of her soon :)
