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!

Self Portrait Finished!

I finally finished my 'Me' doll! Here she is...

She is 11'' tall, and made with a 3mm hook. I wanted to use a small hook so I could make the stitches really tiny and the doll smaller. She has her left eye missing, but I've already explained that here. :D

She was fun to make! I don't think I'm gonna win the contest because there are loads of very talented plushie makers taking part, but at least now I have a little me sitting on my desk!

I tried my best with the tattoos - it's difficult embroidering onto an amigurumi :(

Self Portrait WIP 1

I got a message from the lovely Crystal the other day telling me about a contest over on DeviantArt, where you make a self portrait plushie. I had a look into it and it looks like alot of fun, so I'm going to enter!

Here's what I've made so far...

You're probably wondering why she's only got one eye lol! I'm blind in my left eye - have been since I was a baby, so I wanted a doll that had only one eye. Kind of symbolic, you know? I don't really look like that lol!


She's wearing a red and white stripy t-shirt - one of my fav shirts. She's also going to be wearing a black skirt, removable black mary-jane shoes and have a lip piercing. If I can embroider the tattoos then I'll do that too - but I think that will be abit tricky!

I plan on adding to this doll over the rest of the month - the contest finishes on the 31st - so check back to see how she's turning out!
