Making Tilly The Turtle

Tilly In Progress

Decided to update the Tilly The Turtle pattern the other evening, though the pattern is pretty much unchanged :)

Pink

A shot of one of the amigurumi's I've been working on this past month - I haven't come up with a name for him yet so he is nameless at the moment, bless! 

He is free standing, measuring in at approx. 22cm tall, with an attachable/detachable heart (held on with press studs)

I really like the base of this amigurumi, and intend to use it to make a few different animals for my Etsy Shop , which is currently closed so I can do a big update with new patterns and ready made items :)

Hope you like him!

Shame and Happiness

Over the past month or so our TV in the living room has been on the blink. It flashes and goes bright green. Nice. Really annoying - especially when I want to use the Wii Fit Plus at night. So today my Mum and Dad finally went out to get a new one. On the way back they said did my brother and I want something to eat out today and I shamefully said yes. I gave in and had a McDonalds Extra Value Meal. Not good for the diet at all - but I have been good lately so I suppose once won't hurt, right?! It's my weigh-in day tomorrow; I don't expect to have lost much as I've not been doing my exercises either this week as much as I'd like. The shame...

But several great things awaited me on my computer when I'd finished my McDonalds (which was lovely btw...). First off was an email from my crochet pal Jillz saying she'd received her Pink Monstie she won in my giveaway last month, and that they'd had a photo shoot! I love seeing the stuff I've made in their new homes! You can check the shoot out at her fab blog here!

Secondly I'd received my 100th sale in my Etsy Shop! Yay! I opened my shop a year ago this month, so am really happy to have got 100 sales within a year! A Big Thank You to everyone that has either bought something from me, tested my patterns, followed my blog, fanned me on Facebook or anything over the past year - your support is really appreciated! *Hugs!* Here's to another year!

Etsy Friday

A bit of a change to Etsy Friday - I'm running out of fav sellers to feature so I'm just gonna list 3 items from Etsy I like instead lol! Pink is the theme this week! Enjoy!


Gloomy Bear shoes! I love that violent little bear so much! Made from a pretty pink colour velvet, with black rubber soles. This pair are a size US 6 - about a UK size 3.5 - 4, which means they'd fit my tiny feet! YAY! I may have to get these...

I love this cute little pink ninja! Made from polymer clay, he measures just 3cm's (1.25'') tall! He even comes with his very own nunchucks! How cute! I can imagine a whole army of these sitting on my desk!

This fabric covered ring is so sweet! It measures about 2.8cm's (1 1/8th), and is ajustable so it'll fit anyone. I love the little music note! Kawaii!
