Thank you, Ali, for testing out the Dolly the Dachshund pattern so quickly and letting me know about an error in the “head” portion of the pattern. It’s been corrected, and you can download the fixed up version of the pattern by clicking on the image below.

Believe it or not, Dolly the Dachshund is just about the same size as Snowball the Cat underneath all that fur. It’s a quick pattern to make up and uses minimal amounts of yarn. If you give it a try, share some photos in my flickr group, would you? Click the image below to download [...]

Yesterday found me Amigurumi-ing again. Veggie Tales characters, to be exact. They were much larger than I’d thought they’d be (read: they took all afternoon and evening to crochet), and thanks to a promise that I’d have them finished by morning, I was up late sewing on Larry’s eyeballs. They were met with enthusiasm in [...]

There’s nothing like a little time lapse slideshow, right? (Really, I just took way more photos than I needed and wanted to use them up somehow!) I’ve written up the pattern for this little guy, and it’s available for free. Just click the image to download it. If you make one, will you share it [...]

Well. Hmmm. Looks like I took a little blogging break there, didn’t I? I’m … not sure why. The days just ran into each other, with fleeting thoughts of, “Oh, it’s a blog post day, I’ll do it later,” and now here I am. The up side is you didn’t miss much, what with all [...]

“Mommy, Mrs. C. wants a cat for Christmas. I really want to give her one. Can we?” Discussion about why giving someone a live animal for a gift may not be a great idea. “Mommy, can you make one instead?” Furious Amigurumi-ing “Mommy, can you make a puppy for Mrs. L., too?” More furious Amigurumi-ing [...]

Happy holidays! While I’m taking some time away from blogland, I’ve got posts scheduled to run on my regular routine so that I can show you the Christmas gifts I wasn’t able to write about during the year. Enjoy, and I’ll see you on the flip side! My huz just loves the TV sitcom The [...]

We’ll just be monkeying around this weekend. Hanging out and trying not to blow away in the stiff, Fall breeze. And doing some snuggling, too. (There is one more little monkey, but due to a nose shortage, he is currently awaiting a finished face.) Have a good weekend, whatever you’re up to!

Whew! It has been a busy week! Since the weekend I have been wrapping up all sorts of projects and am finally feeling like my wip basket is under control. I have a couple more “personal” projects that need to be finished, and then I am back to being creative. Hopefully I’ll get a few [...]
