Last Call on Chibi Amigurumi All Still Available under $6 #madeinamerica

And not to mention, because of their lack of popularity, I probably won't make them again....hehe xoxoxo Maddy Can you live without a Chibitude Chibi???

New Fuzzy Monsters

I'm working on a new item for a little bit. I never know what's going to "stick" and what isn't. This little guy here is my prototype.

What I've learned so far with this trial monster is that my Mighty Mend-it glue holds flipping awesome for gluing on the eyes. I thought I was putting them on temporary, but when it came time to remove they said "Nope!"

I've also learned that it's easier to sew the limbs on without the buttons. On the current one I'm working on the legs are arms are sewn on, and I'm going to make cute little buttons to go over the knots. (I think) Everything is still a work in progress.

Also, acrylic yarn can indeed be brushed. I was under the impression from what I read online that it was only wool. Not true :o)

Taking the top row of the limbs and making it flat instead of a tube also helps with the sewing.

Today I'm working on polymer clay eyes for the next one. He's green and yellow and I've painted green eyes for him/her.

That's all for now. :O) xoxo

Amigurumi Frog

Well, a sweet buddy of mine reminded me of a cute froggy prince that I made years ago and got me in the mood to try my hand at my own design of an amigurumi frog.

I've been working on him today. And although he "could" be called finished, I'm not quite happy with how he looks. He currently looks like the first picture, but I want him to look like the second picture.

So I need to figure out how to make that mouth. I find that embroidering on crochet just simply doesn't work well at all. The stitches tend to go wonky and it doesn't look neat. So I don't think that's the answer.

Tomorrow I start sculpting Christi's Wednesday Adams doll, so I thought that while I was sculpting her, I could have a piece of black felt that I use fabric stiffener on, drying. My thoughts are that if I use the stiffener, I'll be able to cut it out nice and neat without the edges fuzzing out. Then I can stitch or glue it to my amigurumi.

I'll try the same thing with the pupils. Wish me luck!!

Thanks for reading :o)

The Galaxy Stitch

I just learned this new stitch from one of the people I subscribe to on youtube. Her name is Teresa Richardson, and she goes by Crochet Geek. Visit her channel here: http://www.youtube.com/show/crochetgeek?s=1

I love her videos and sometime just to wind down and fall asleep, I'll get out my yarn and a hook and learn something new from her. Tonight is one of those nights.

I think this stitch is very pretty! And the yarn is also wonderful. I got it at walmart. It's called Peaches N Cream. I love this yarn, it's very soft. I get it when it's on sale because it's not very inexpensive.

I'm trying to figure out what I should make out of this pretty stitch. Any suggestions???
