a few of my stuffed animals

As I have been reminded by my mother I have not been posting any of the many great stuffed animals I have been making so I will start sharing some of them today and hopefully remember to add more in the weeks to come.

All of the ones I am sharing today are made from freshstitches patterns.  I just love her patterns as they are so adorable, and her customer service is fantastic.

First up is my Halloween Witch that I made using the Avery doll pattern.  I made her a shirt as well as skirt rather than the dress and of course gave her those cute halloweeny tights.  I also used the witches hat pattern from her Malabrigo Halloween ebook.

 

Next up is Mike from Monsters Inc.  I just love how he turned out.

This little guy (Spikey the Stegosaurus)  makes me smile every time I see him.  I loved making him rainbow and modified the pattern slightly to add the red scale so I had a full rainbow in stripes and scales.

 

Milton the Slowpoke Snail here came from Stacey's Crocheted Softies book.  I love that variegated yarn as his shell.

 

 

Ruffle Alien is from one of her craftsy classes. I have already made two of this one because he is just so fun.

Hannah is from one of Stacey's mini kits that I had purchased.  It is currently unavailable in kit form but you can still get the pattern.

Mal the Tiny Duck is another one that I got in kit form.  I have done him multiple times, one in the mini kit like the one above, two in regular worsted weight and one in doubled up worsted weight.  It goes so great with the Little Quack books and is one of my go to baby gifts.

 

And finally we have one that is definitely one of my favorites.  As soon as I saw this yarn I knew I had to make Nelson in it.  I have always had a thing for birds and I really think this yarn totally made the owl perfect.

 

Well, here are a few of the semi recent projects I have done.  I still have plenty more to share in the coming weeks.

And now my first FO Friday!

Well,  On Wednesday I posted my first ever WIP Wed so now I have my first FO (Finished Object) Friday!  I managed to get a couple things done this last week.  First up is my first ever amigurumi.  The guy I picked to start out with was probably not one of the best for a first one... those antennae sure made closing him up even more awkward!  My Zoink is made out of scraps, and even partially filled with scraps to go along with the freshstitches scrap-a-long that is going on right now.  I am quite pleased with how he turned out and am trying to decide what I want to make next.


The other finished object that I have for this week is a sleep mask that I made for myself.  I tend to sleep much better with one so when the other half gets up to go to the bathroom the light from the other rooms don't wake me up.  I used the Owl Eye Mask pattern and modified the colors a bit.  Actually the pattern itself was pretty vague so a lot of it was my interpretations based on the picture.  Rather than an around the head strap I made loops to hook over my ears, and the other major difference was that I made a cute little heart for the nose rather than a triangle like the photo.  It works very well and I just love the colors/cuteness of it.

I think that wraps me up for today.  To check out other FO Fridays around the web be sure to stop in at Tami's Amis.
