flower fairy

Testing another pattern for Kristen, here’s my second (and last) little fairy – she’s a bit shy though: Ahh, here she is! I’m really pleased with her hair: I unravelled the plies of worsted weight yarn so it would be fine and fluffy and curly: It was fun to try out someone else’s patterns for […]

crocheted fairy

I tested this fairy pattern for Kristen. I followed the pattern exactly except for the colours and hairstyle. And I had far too much fun giving her the long thick tresses (chocolate brown with black streaks and honey highlights) that I will never have in real life! Isn’t she cute?

fuzzy seal

I really am back in action! Fuzzy Penguin needed a friend, so I’ve made a baby fuzzy seal: They are fast friends already, as you can see: Maui decided the photoshoot couldn’t proceed without at least one shot including his handsome face 🙂 This pattern is (I hope) going to be a true original – […]

The mole is a different kind of fuzzy… I used chenille yarn so he feels very velvety and mole-ish. UPDATE: […]

monkeying about

Whilst venturing deep into the heart of the jungles of Ontario, I managed to photograph these two monkeys in their natural habitat (click for full-size images):   …Okay, so what gave it away? The ‘natural’ floor lamp the monkeys are clinging to? 😉   I decided to try making something a bit different for a change. Don’t worry, the cute […]

white fuzzy lamb

Meet white fuzzy lamb! She and her brother will be available (in pattern form) sometime this weekend in the store. UPDATE: Looking for the pattern? You can find the Fuzzy Lamb crochet pattern in my shop.
