Little Devil loves pizza with sriracha sauce, yum!

This is Walter. Walter is a very laid back kind of monster. He enjoys the simple things in life like....watching little colourful balls popping all around him.

My husband works for M&M Meats. This Friday there is a staff party and they are doing a gift exchange. He asked me to make a doll and we came up with M&M Man! Whoever gets this will either be thinking "Oh neat!" or "Wth......?"

M&M Man


Fresh out of the box!



It is I, M&M Man!


Mmmm...chicken and dumplings, but where is the Too Tall Strawberry Shortcake?

Yesterday I bought the book "Tiny Treats" by Julie A. Monroe. It's a collection of projects to make..well, tiny treats! The book is geared towards kids so the recipes are super simple with easy to find ingredients. It's a great little book filled with really cute stuff.



My son wanted to make the mini donuts right away. We used cheerios, frosting and sprinkles. They looked pretty cute!



Mini donuts!

So it's Stampede time here, then next week is Westerner Days in my hubby's hometown. I made this 'cow'girl and 'cow'boy.

Their names are Lola and Franz. They are 10 years old. Franz loves fondu. Lola is lactose intolerant.

It's been super hot lately. I decided I would try to make my own little uchiwa.

I grabbed the image from the Puccho candy site. I pasted it on a piece of cardboard, both sides. I made the handle by cutting out two cardboard pieces then covererd with paper. Then I attached one piece to one side of the fan, and the other piece on the other side.

The end result is kind of messy but I am definitely going to make some more.

Oh my gosh, this is surprisingly very addicting! I just signed up the other day and slowly adding things to my closet. It's just like when you were a little girl playing paper dolls.

I've been watching the anime Keroro Gunsou. Here's my attempt to make Keroro and Kururu. I'm slowly trying to get the rest of the Keroro platoon made.

Wow, I haven't updated in a long time! Well, I have been kind of busy lately. I had a baby boy on January 21. There's a 6yr age gap between my two boys. Gosh, it's like being a first time mom all over again, lol.

I wanted to make a mobile to hang from the ceiling or something. Instead I ended up tying these little butterflies on a long piece of ribbon and then tied it across the baby swing. The picture isn't so great, sorry!

The original pattern is from Amigurumi Collection Vol.5. Should I colour in some little pink cheeks on them?

I wanted to make a Halloween doll and here she is! My husband gave her the name Zombilina Freaky Girl. He was kind of freaked out by her "scars", haha!

She was modified from Beth D's humanoid pattern from "Amigurumi Super Happy Crochet Cute."

My mother is going to Japan next month and she just requested 3 Zombilina's for me to make to give away as gifts.

Yay!

I finally have a Ravelry account, woohoo!

You can find me there under the name puchitomato. :D

A few weeks ago I bought Elisabeth Doherty's "Amigurumi! Super Happy Crochet Cute." It's a great book to have in your craft book collection.

My son kept asking me to make the punk bunny for him. I thought I would take my time making him, but once I started I couldn't stop. So I finished him a lot sooner than expected. I need to fix his one eye though, but overall he turned out pretty spiffy!




After I made him, I wanted to try and make another humanoid doll. This time I wanted to make the cartoon character, Ruby Gloom. I would have liked to use eyelash yarn for her hair but all I had was regular yarn. I was going to keep her but my mother decided to claim her so I guess I'll just make another Ruby Gloom and try it with the eyelash yarn or something for her hair. Excuse all the little fuzzies still on her outfit....

A couple of crazy little roly poly cats. When they are not taking naps, they like to get into mischief. They shout "Whhheeeeeeeee!!!!" as they bounce and roll around everywhere. They enjoy nibbling on tuna casserole and sipping peach flavoured water.

This was a request from my mom for a friend's little boy. I hope he likes it.

My son and I are fans of the game Katamari Damacy. I have both soundtracks on my ipod. (It's fun to be a nerd.)

Anyway Jared asked me to make a doll for him and this is what I came up with. I guess he turned out ok..... Oh well, as long as Jared likes him (which he does, yay!)

Some amigurumi's I'm working on. I made some bunnies now I'm working on some Apple dudes (part of my Fruit Buddies collection). I'll be adding the faces later. They kind of look a bit creepy - faceless, staring at you......

Oh man, I had forgotten about this little guy. I made him a long time ago and he's been sitting on top of the filing cabinet all this time. Lonely and neglected...sniff...

Ninaja Monkey has decided he wants to retire from being a super deadly ninja and become a lounge singer instead.

Here it is, the Happy Poo pattern. I'm not used to writing down patterns. I'm more accustomed to the Jpns way of using number charts, so my apologies to those who prefer written instructions. If there is anything that seems unclear, please let me know.

Today I made some heart-shaped sugar cookies and Jared decorated them. He had a lot of fun decorating the cookies (and making a big mess at the same time hehe.)
