Pocket Bunny Friends


Hey Guys,

Just updated the shop with some new, ready to ship amigurumi! Let me introduce the Pocket Bunny Friends!


Pastel Pocket Bunny Friend

Purple Vari Pocket Bunny Friend

I wanted to make a little amigurumi that you could carry round in your pocket. I originally started out making a scrap monster, but they soon turned into little bunnies :)

Each Pocket Bunny Friend is approx. 3.5'' tall and made of soft DK yarn, in a variety of variegated patterns. No two bunnies are the same as the variegated yarn makes a different pattern each time :)

They are available in my Etsy shop now for £5.50 each.

I hope you like them!

Chica, Version 1.2

Hey all!

I hope everyone had a nice New Year and that 2015 is going well for you so far! I have been busy working on my new workspace (pics to come) and a few custom orders have come my way too, so I've been quite busy :)

You may remember in this blog post from November I made a Chica from Five Night's at Freddy's amigurumi. I was pretty happy with her, but wondered if I could improve her in any way, so I designed a newer version...


I like this version as she is free standing and more posable than the original...


...who is stuck in a sitting position.  I'm not sure which one I ultimately prefer - I will make a few more characters in both styles and see which one is better across the board :)

I hope to update more regularly this year - I checked my stats page a little while ago and was shocked I still get so many visitors, even though I don't post anywhere near as frequently as I used to. I really appreciate your continued support, and have pledged to be more active on my blog and Facebook Fan Page too, with updates, how to's and more free patterns. I hope when I am back in the swing of things I can do another giveaway as well - the last ones I did were so much fun!

Anyways, bye for now - and take care!

Chica and a Knobbly Jellyfish

Hey! Thought I'd update with some bits I've been making lately on the amigurumi front :) 

Has anyone played Five Nights At Freddy's? If you have, you should have a pretty good idea who this little guy is. But if not, Five Nights At Freddy's is a very popular game that's exploded onto the gaming scene over the past few months. It's basically about you playing as a security guard at a kids pizza chain restaurant, and things go, well, a little bit wrong with the animatronic characters after hours.

Although I haven't actually played the game myself, I love watching others play it on YouTube, especially Markiplier - he's so funny and always seems so enthusiastic about what he is doing. You can check his channel and the game itself out here.

Anyways, I thought I'd make a little Chibi Chica the other night, and this was the result...



She's a lot less scary than the original lol! I think with a little tweaking I may type up the pattern and make it available in my Etsy Shop, we will see :)

Also I have been working on a revamp of Jacob The Jellyfish; here he is half finished...



As you can see, I've added some puff stitches to the head/body piece, to make a knobbly effect; and also some gathered rows of lace trim for extra fluffiness. For the tentacles I will be adding some clear pony beads, so it looks like bubbles.

I'm always looking for new ways to update old patterns of mine - so instead of rewriting them completely I have been trying to add some other materials and elements to the design, to give people more of a challenge/something other to do apart from crochet the entire piece. I hope to have the pattern available by the end of the year, along with some other revamped favourites :)

That's all for now! Take care, and Happy Crocheting!

Granny Squares and Updates


I made this mini cotton Granny Square cushion cover  back in December, thought I'd share :) I enjoyed using cotton, for a change, though I don't know if I will be using it for amigurumi as it isn't stretchy :( It's perfect for Granny Squares though!

Also I am still working on the new amigurumi patterns. I am going to get them all completed, then list the whole lot at the same time rather than list one at a time. I will keep you updated - thank you for your patience!

Have a fun weekend!

Monster Under The Bed Update


I made a body for my monster yesterday. I decided to make it yellow and pink stripy. Next I'm gonna do the arms - think they're gonna be blue like it's head :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend! It's my parents 25th Wedding Anniversary, and they're staying over in London for a few days. So that means I have the house more or less to myself! Yay! (I love my own company too much...)
