I wasn’t sure if I have shown you these funky friends before. I have made quite a few now and it is hard to keep up.
This is the Mitch the monkey and Steve the crocodile.
As always they were made with polar fleece which is such a forgiving fabric and so very very cuddly.
They were fairly [...]

So I recently set about finding some elephant patterns.
I started with the Audrey and Maude Edward pattern and some fabric from Amite that I picked up at the latest Brisbane Creative Living craft fair.
He turned out very cute. Susie played a big [...]

I met for lunch with a few girls from work. One of them recently had a baby and I could not go without giving her something.
I have had this wee wonderfuls pattern for ages and thought I would give it a go. This is Olive from the Make-along series.

The idea is that you wrap wool around some cardstock (old weet-bix box). Then you sew the wool down, then take the card away; creating a wig. Then you sew the [...]

I have been wanting to make the kids some dress up dolls for a long time. I was following the progress of Hillary’s “kit, chole and louise” from wee wonderfuls and immediately bought the pattern when it came up for sale.
Meet Jack and Jill.
Obviously they are still a work in progress and don’t even [...]

Memories of holidays are fading fast. But while I was away I worked on and completed Sir Stephen the bunny from Interweave Crochet Magazine (summer 08) for my new baby nephew.
He was really fun to make and very cute. He is jointed so you can move his arms and legs around. The pattern [...]

This is my collection of beenie buddies. Before it was my collection it was an obsession.
I made this for my little girl before she was 6 months old . I was determined to have an animal for each letter of the alphabet. I bought them all through ebay and most of [...]

I had a fascination with creating a crochet hamburger. I looked everywhere for a pattern. A few people out there have made them and I think they are terrific. A great easy project and not a bad toy for the kids.
I found a two broken links on yarn to [...]

One of the attractions to crochet was the ability to easily make 3D objects. First I made an orange Octopode which I found through ravelry which linked to the tutorial on craftster. It was really easy and I had a great time making it. I used some nundle woolen mill yarn from my [...]
