How To Crochet a Sunny Side Up

 

Wishing you all a very blessed Easter from my family to yours! 🙂

Here’s something that’s Easter Egg related, sort of 🙂

 

 

 

Here’s a simple step by step diagram on how to crochet a sunny side up! 🙂

 

Happy Easter, my friends!!! 🙂

My Amiguru-Minis

 

Lately, I’ve been crocheting smaller dolls.  I realized they’re much simpler to make than my big dolls.  I call them my amiguru-minis 🙂  I used almost the same pattern for the superheroes and just made everything smaller 🙂

They look like chubby baby superheroes 🙂

Mini shield for Captain America 🙂

Here’s a yuppie zombie I made based on the pattern of Christen Haden’s book called Creepy Cute Crochet 🙂  I just added arms and legs.

And since I’m such a fan of Game of Thrones, I crocheted my favorite character, Jon Snow.

“You know nothing, Jon Snow.”

Can’t wait for the fifth season 🙂

And finally, I was able to crochet Elsa, a character the litte girls love.  I haven’t even seen the movie! Haha!

Just to give you an idea how small these doll are… Here is cute little Erin holding Elsa 🙂

I’ll be making more of these amiguru-minis 🙂  Stay tuned 🙂

I really want to do more characters from Game of Thrones but their costumes are so detailed.  Oh let’s see what I can come up with 🙂

Hope you all had a restful weekend 🙂

 

 

My Handmade Little Caterpillar

My latest handmade project was a hat for an 11-month old baby 🙂  I asked my 5-year old, Crow, to try out the hat. Hehe 🙂  It still sort of fits.

The hat is based on the book, “The Hungry Little Caterpillar”.  Also one of my son’s favorite books when he was a baby 🙂

I had a lot of fun making this hat.  Basic shapes and basic colors.

I love braids 🙂

It was a beautiful and sunny day to photograph this caterpillar…

And my handsome son 🙂

Hope you all are having a wonderful time with your families during this Holy Week 🙂

 

Daniella

My latest project.

A doll I made for Daniella 🙂

Have a happy weekend, everyone!!! 🙂

Project: Counting Sheep

PROJECT: COUNTING SHEEP.  A project I made especially for a friend’s baby 🙂

These are the sheeps’ stuffed bodies and legs.  I love the clean, white yarn.

These are the heads. Embroidered an X for their eyes.

Perfect material to hang the sheep on the wooden ring. Found this twine in the Wrap Shop in Rockwell. Thanks, Dants, for helping me find this one! It’s perfect.

Had to hang the bodies first before attaching the heads. Sounds so morbid. Haha!

Attached some extra yarn above their heads for some sheep bangs. Sheep bangs! Sheep bangs! 🙂

Top shot of my new friends 🙂

Sorry, some of my friends are camera shy 🙂

I was supposed to put a black sheep in the mix. There’s always a black sheep in the family. Haha! But my friend requested for a blue sheep instead 🙂 Hi Blue!

Finally, after weeks of crocheting and assembling, they’re finally ready to meet their new owner! 🙂

I was so bothered by what Dante said regarding the “X” eyes of the sheep. That in cartoons, it means they’re dead.  LOL. Bought some wooden buttons for the eyes right away! I don’t want to give dead sheep!

Now they’re wide-eyed and even cuter. Thanks, Dants! 🙂 (Dante, my fiercest judge. LOL!)

To Margaux, my friend, I hope your son enjoys the company of my little fluffy buddies and will help him sleep more soundly at night 🙂

Sweet dreams 🙂

A Handmade Knight

 

This is my latest amigurumi creation… The Dark Knight! 🙂  And I think he is my secret favorite.  Hehe…

 

First of all, his basic color scheme are my two favorite colors.  Black and grey.

 

It was also my first time to use suede cloth as a cape 🙂

 

I used to crochet the capes as well but I like the way the suede cloth flows.

 

I’m very happy with how Batman turned out 🙂

 

So who will win in this battle?!

 

Happy Saturday, everyone! 🙂  Please visit and “like” my Facebook page, if you have one, for more updates on my current handmade projects! 🙂
