Meet white fuzzy lamb!

She and her brother will be available (in pattern form) sometime this weekend in the store.

I’m having so much fun making these fuzzy crocheted animals! 

Here is the latest - Fuzzy Lamb (continuing my spring/Easter theme).  If he doesn’t show up too well on your screen, click to see a bigger version:

This little guy will soon be joined by his big sister who will have a white curly fleece. Watch out for the pattern for the Fuzzy Lambs in the next couple of weeks.

The Fuzzy Bunny pattern (with free Fuzzy chick pattern!) is now available. You can order it directly from PlanetJune.com and the pdf will be e-mailed to you.

Get a head start on spring and be ready for Easter with the Fuzzy Bunny & Chick pattern!

I’ll be making a Fuzzy Friends gallery soon, so send me your links or photos of finished Fuzzies when you’ve made them and I’ll feature them in my gallery

Fuzzy Bunny loves his chickie friends….

In this time of cold and snow…

 they are a sign of spring and Easter that will be here soon (we hope!)

The pattern for Fuzzy Bunny & Chick should be available tomorrow! Sign up for my mailing list if you’d like to be notified when new patterns are published.

Here’s my latest fuzzy crocheted friend… meet Fuzzy Chick! 

I’ll be including the pattern for this little guy as a freebie with my next pattern. Look out for Fuzzy Bunny & Chick in the next few days - so you’ll have plenty of time to get crocheting before Easter!

Here’s the chickie with the original Fuzzy Bear:

I’ll also be setting up a mailing list in time for the release of the next pattern, so you’ll be able to sign up and be automatically notified whenever I release a new pattern.

To everyone who tried unsuccessfully to buy the Fuzzy Bear crochet pattern over the past week, I’m sorry! There was a problem with the ‘Buy Now’ button and it wasn’t possible to submit an order. I’ve fixed the button now, so please try to order again - I promise it will work this time!

 

It’s my cat Maui’s third birthday and I wanted to make him something special…

I had this brown patterned fabric in my stash, and the pattern was just mouse sized… I came up with this catnip-filled mouse, with a string tail, felt ears, and embroidered eyes and nose. I know it was a lot of work just for a cat toy (those ears won’t last for long!), but I think it’s just adorable.

And, most importantly, the birthday boy loves it:

Yes, I’m a Brit, and to me they are *knickers*, not panties  

My friend Allison and I decided to get together for an afternoon of crafty goodness and we thought the OneHourCraft sexy Valentine’s Day string panties tutorial would be a good place to start.

After we had spent a while giggling and examining animal prints in the fabric store, we settled on a subtle black floral pattern, with some fancy black elastic and purpley red ribbon ties.

We modified the pattern template because it looked a little too small (aka revealing) for us, and then we pinned and sewed and pinned and sewed and… no, this was not a “one hour” craft for us! And my poor hubby had to studiously avoid listening to us discussing underwear all afternoon. But it was so much fun - I can see why people are starting up craft groups all over the place now; crafting with a friend is a very different experience to crafting by yourself.

And, eventually, look what we made (click to supersize): 

Mine are the ones on the left

They ended up looking really good - I think we were both a little surprised by how well they turned out.

Thanks Allison - we’ll have to do it again some time!
