Bob The Baker

Morning guys.
Amigurumi Patterns.net is having a design contest entitled "Animal at Work". There are great prizes to be won. Check out their site at here

Here's my entry. Meet Bob the Baker. Cute? Many entries are just so adorable. Hope that I can stand a chance at the prizes. Looking at the yarns just make me go crazy. For me... yarns are never enough.

Minion Phil

Well... I've said that I wanted to try my hands at making Phil. Here he is. He's about 12cm tall. It's kinda tricky making this as there are many parts to assemble. Really took a long time to complete this. Hope that you all will like it.

I make his eyes from felt this time. Just love the lace top on his head. A bit funny and cute at the same time.

I must say that the characters from Despicable Me movie is everlasting. Until now, still many request for these tiny yellow cuties. Phil already been sold. :)

Here's little Agnes doll. She's about 20cm tall. Isn't she cute. Just posted this on FB and she's already been adopted. She will be a lovely companion to a lucky girl.

Thanks for stopping by.

Off to Hong Kong !

Good morning friends.

Here's another set of custom made wedding dolls for a very special customer from Hong Kong. At first I was worried about delivering dolls to overseas due to the high postage fees here in Malaysia. Anyway, I've decided to give it a try. Everything has to start somewhere and there's always a first time.

This custom made order is for a Wedding Bunny Bride with a Cat Groom. Throughout the whole process, I kept in touch with my customer... adjusting the design when necessary. And in the end, the finished dolls are just perfect for the lovely couple.

Now, they're on their way to Hong Kong. I do hope the dolls will arrive safe and sound for their Big day and the owner will be very happy to meet them. Looking forward for a wedding photo from Hong Kong soon.

Minions Ever After

The Minion craze is still around... even though the screening of the movie is over. The free Minion toys in McDonald's Happy Meal has sold out within hours. People lining up as early as 9pm just to get a chance to purchase these toys (opens at12am).

 

I have to say...honestly... these little yellow guys are really CUTE ! If I'm not mistaken, they have different versions of minions sold around the world. These guys are even more popular than the previous Hello Kitty craze.

I am sad to say that I didn't even get a chance to get even 1pc of these cuties. My kids were upset.  Happy Meal isn't happy anymore. So... I had decided to crochet my own. 

Here's my version of the minions. It turns out that many of my FB friends like them too and orders were pouring in for these guys. Just finished a couple of batches for delivery. Phew.... :)

Next... I'm going to try my hands at making another version. This...

 

 

Enjoy and stay tune !

Wedding Bunny Crochet Pattern

Morning friends. It has been a while my last entry. Have been occupied in re-collecting my patterns and have them organized.

I am so thankful that my readers likes my designs. Many have written to me requesting for the patterns to my creations. I am very sorry if I'm not able to provide you some of the patterns. You see... I mostly just crochet and create as I go. I do jot down in handwriting for the stitches but it may take a while for me to really compile them together.

Thank you for your patience. I have finished this Wedding Bunny Gift set pattern just last week and it's available in pdf format for those who are interested.

Enjoy and have a happy day ahead. :)

Mini Wedding Bouquet

Hi there. I've been crocheting quite a number of wedding doll set. Here's my latest set ordered by my friend for her sister's wedding.

Today I just want to share with you a simple tutorial on making a mini bouquet for your dolls.

Materials :
-Felt for the flowers and leaves
-3 pcs of pearl beads
-Lace
-Craft Wire

Step 1: Cut a small piece of felt of 8cm x 8cm. Then cut in spiral like the picture shown.

Step 2: Twirl the felt starting from the outer circle right to the end. It's the same techniques use for making paper roses.

Step 3: After finishing, apply glue at the back of the rose to stick it in place.

Step 4: Using a small piece of craft wire (5cm), insert the wire from the bottom of the rose and up. Slide in a pearl bead and bend the end of the wire inward to secure the bead.

Step 6: Apply a bit of glue to the end of the bead and pull down the wire. Now, the bead will stick to the rose nicely.

Step 7: Repeat this process to make another 2 more roses.

Step 8: I cut some scrap lace about 18cm long. Fold it in half and sew the ends together.

Step 9 : Sew a gather stitch at the end of the lace and gather up.

Step 10 : Take all 3pieces of roses and twist the wires together. Put the roses in the center of the lace and stitch the ends tightly together.

Add some cut out green felt leaves and you're done !
