Lisa the Mushroom


UPDATE: Lisa found a new home and I'm so excited. She's my first sale that's not to a family member/friend/co-worker. Thank you Chelsea!!!

Lisa's favorite season is summer, because she loves to sell lemonade when it's really hot outside. She's a very happy mushroom and her life's motto truly is "if life gives you lemons, make lemonade." A true optimist. With some of her savings, she plans on buying herself a pet snail :)

This mushroom comes with a little surprise- it's crocheted and has something do to with Lisa's personality. What could it be?

and another little cutie I made from the amigurumi book

Maude the Mushroom


I made this new one over the weekend and I must say it's my new favorite. I wonder if I'll feel like this whenever I make a new one. This one is finally going to my shop- hurrah.

So Maude doesn't come with a pet friend, and it's because she's friends with all the stars in the sky. She can spot all of the constellations. Her favorite used to be the Big Dipper but now that she's older she really likes Princess Andromeda. She loves to be awake at night, because she likes to blend in and try to pretend to be a star herself. But I think she doesn't have to blend in at all, she's already a star in my eyes. :)

Squarey & Elliot, Lilly & Amy












both my plush arrived at their new home. looks like elliot and amy like their new friends :) thanks to clay for sending me the pictures- they made my day!

Memphis


I made this silhouette of Memphis for Dawn. Memphis likes the colors green, yellow and blue. She also likes squirrels, rabbits, deer, flowers, and trees. I hope I was able to incorporate a lot of the elements that she loves :)

If you haven't seen Dawn's work- it's absolutely awesome, check it out on her blog Plush-a-holic!!!

Maggie the Mushroom & Robin sitting on a ledge together


a new mushroom :)

so i was going to put this one in my shop, but i showed it to my little sister over our weekly webcam conversation and she fell in love with it, so... i can't say no :) plus, she hasn't gotten a mushroom of mine yet. and it matched the shirt she was wearing that day, so i think it was meant to be.

so hopefully, next time around...


Eloise the Elephant


I crocheted up this little elephant for my sister. She has been wanting one for quite some time now and finally I had the time to make it for her.

I ever so slightly modified the elephant pattern out of the "Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet" book by Ana Paula Rimoli. This was the first pattern I decided to crochet up out of her book and it was really easy to follow and a lot of fun!!!

I Love Etsy

Here are some things that I would own if I had the money to get them. I love all of them and there are more that I've left out. If I had a windfall of money, I'd get them ;-) For now, I will have to admire from afar. And have I said, I love Etsy?
