Stripes - Crochet Puppy with Jersey


Adapted from a pattern in a Japanese Amigurumi Crochet book.
I haven't asked him but I'm pretty sure he's a Wheaten Terrier.

Crochet Pinto Patch Pony



A gift I made a wee while ago. Made out of my head so I don't have a pattern unfortunately.
Made good use of those pink novelty yarns I had stashed away. Reminded me of my old 'My Little Pony' - she was white with sparkly moonbeams and stars on her rump, and had a red mane with a purple streak. How I miss you, Moonbeam.

Felt Kiwi



For a baby so no wire, all wool. Really happy with the feet and the fact that he can stand by himself. Very independent this kiwi.

A wooden good 'un from way back


This little guy is currently amusing our little guy. A blast from the past with worn paint, dislocated arms and a clacker which no longer clacks. Thomas loves the squeak the wheels now make.

It's all fun and games until...


This is Flame the Crocheted Yet Cool Little Ocular Patch girl. She has stunning hair but I think she could do with further embellishment. Maybe a little red accent to complement her fiery do. Not sure why she's wearing the eye patch. Maybe something to do with her creator losing an eye (hers).

Painted Rock Girl


This little redhead has been sitting on my shelf, hands in her pockets for a few years now. Waiting for a bus which never came? At least she still has her youth. Maybe a Painted Rock Boy will sweep her off her feet.

Upside Down Dog - my First Felted Airedale


There's something really sweet about this fellow. It was Troy the Airedale's favourite pose when I made it more than a few years ago. Troy is no longer with us but this little tribute remains on my shelf. I sometimes think that your first efforts at making something can be the most 'honest'. Sometimes, of course, they can be your most 'disastrous', but those ones probably won't make an appearance here. Here's to you, Troy.
