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

Testers FO's

You might remember last week on here I asked if anyone would be willing to test my new Ami Patterns? Well, here are some of the finished ami's from my testers!

First up, from quite a while ago, is an Apple in a Suit by Jill! I have a thing where I can't use green and blue together (don't ask...) so it's really nice to see an apple in a blue cosy!

Here we have a Gibbley by Joan!! I love his crazy hair, and that his horn is off centre! Cuuuute!

Also by Joan - a Cuddle Monster! I really like the longer toes, makes him look more monster-y!

Finally a sweet green Gibbley by Cecilia! I love him in green, I might have to try one that colour for myself!

Thank you to all my testers that have tested for me so far, and are in the middle of doing so - I really appreciate it! :D

Testers Found!

Thank you to everyone that has offered to test for me - I now have enough people! I'll know to ask here first next time! Thank you!

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

First Pattern Sold!!

Yay! I sold my first amigurumi pattern on Etsy today!! I'm very happy!!



Plus I've had loads of feedback from my lovely testers! All their jellyfish/turtles look excellent!

A big Thank You to everyone; you made my day! :D

Jellyfish And Walter!

Walter's arrived!! He was dropped off by the postman on 3rd June and has settled in nicely! I have set up a seperate blog for him, which is here.

The 2 weeks are up on the testing for my Jellyfish Amigurumi Pattern, so I put it on sale today! Check it out here. I like to give all my ami's names, so I chose to call him Jacob lol! No reason, it just began with a J!

I've asked on Craftster.org for testers for my Tilly The Turtle ami pattern, and again I had lots of lovely people willing to test it out for me :o) I should have the pattern perfected in about 2 weeks time and then put up in my Etsy shop :o)

LV Partners and Jellyfish Testers

The partners were announced for the LV Swap today; Eddie's going to America!! He's mega excited, he's going to be sent off tomorrow! Here he is getting ready for his long journey!

I'm hosting Walter the dinosaur for the summer! He's lovely! We're gonna have lots of fun; including my hoilday to Cyprus!

Two testers have finished testing my jellyfish pattern; they're both excellent!! We've had Gimpy from CrazyCristyC, and Rupert from MissFlynn, which you can see here.

Big Thanks to them both for testing it for me, and to all the testers! It's really helping me out!
