Well here it is Sunday March 3rd, 2018 where did February go? WOW there was alot going on for me last month that’s for sure. Things are finally slowing down and so I’ve got a few things that have been going on that I’d like to share with you all! 1st my friend Diana and I have created another Facebook Group – I’m super excited to announce our New Group called “Amigurumi Dolls Worldwide” I’ve been wanting to do a Doll Group for awhile now and I thought it was only fair to drag her along with me since she dragged me to the Crochet Messy Bun Group! LOL!

Anyway – in this Group we’ll be sharing FREE Doll Patterns, Tips on Doll Making and we’ll be doing a few “Crochet Doll A Longs” (CDAL) I’m super excited about this! If you’ve been wanting to learn Doll Making OR are a Doll Maker and enjoy making them, then come an join our Group! Our 1st CDAL will be on March 15th – I’ll be making the videos also for those that are visual learners.

Here is what we’ll be making first! YES….the Mermaid Doll – she is my own pattern and I am absolutely in LOVE with her! So click on the link above to join in.

If you don’t have Facebook and would like to do the CDAL also come back on March 15th that’s when the pattern will be posted as that’s when it starts!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Crocheted Dodger Girl

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls

I’m baaackk…..Told you I’d be back sharing my latest creation!

I was inspired to make my Doll by many Doll Makers but I have to say the 1st doll that inspired me was from a gal named Aniqua Wilkerson from “My Kinda Thing” on Facebook then I saw another doll from Dee Dee from “Off D’Hook Creations” also on Facebook they both were such an inspiration to me as I hadn’t done Amigurumi in years and seeing their creations got that creativity flowing and I pulled out a Bunny I had sitting around for awhile which you can see HERE!

Anyway seeing their Beautiful Dolls inspires this one! I have to say I’m “Extremely Proud” of myself! I’ve been waiting to bring this girl to life for some time now! Before I introduce you I’ve got to say this – Besides the Shoes (The Crochet Crowd) & the Flower in her hair – I made her up as I went along!

I am so Happy for you to Meet Yvette Monique -As you can see she’s a Baseball Girl! As you can also see she’s a Huge Dodger Fan and Loves #22 Kershaw! Her brother is a Pitcher and also Loves #22! She’s super pumped and ready for her next game! She stands at approx. 19 inches tall! She plays softball herself and if you ask her she’s got a great arm and runs like the wind! LOL! Speaking of running like the wind I need to get running to get my son for his next Track Meet soon! As always thanks for stopping by and who know maybe you’ll get to meet her brother and some of her friends and YES they are ALL Dodger Fans!! Feel free to share this post!

Happy Crafting,

More Crocheted Little Mermaids

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls, Pattern

So as promised here is the 2nd Mermaid Doll I made! I really like how she turned out too! She’s absolutely perfect!

These are very addicting to make I do have to admit!

This is paid pattern which you can get HERE – It’s super detailed and has awesome pictures to follow.

A lot of hard work went into this pattern. It takes so much time to make sure written patterns come out right! Below is a side view picture!

Here is a side view – Don’t you just love the “Star Fish” in her HAIR????? It’s a great touch!

Well until next time thanks for stopping by!

Crocheted Mermaid Dolls

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls, Pattern

I’m back and ready to share my first Mermaid Doll I LOVE how she turned out!
For this one I used the following Pattern from Ravelry but I changed her Tail and I used this Pattern for that. Oh and I added a belly button, not sure if you an see it that good! But I just had to try!
I also made up her Bra Top. If you’d like to know how I did it please don’t hesitate to ask me! IT was super easy! These will be going into my Etsy Shop very soon. I’ve got one more to show you which I’ll post tomorrow morning. It is another great pattern and a super cute Mermaid! So come back and check it out! Thanks for stopping by and as always….

What’s next on my hook…

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls

Good Morning all and Happy Saturday!!

Well Baseball is officially over for my son. Bitter sweet buy this Mama needed a little break until it all comes around again in August! So it’s time for Fun in the Sun! Well not so sunny right now actually a little foggy lookin outside! But there’s a nice cool breeze.

Anyway, here a quick peek at my latest project. Yes another doll but not sure you can tell what it’s going to be. Since my last doll, which still doesn’t have a name, I’m been just a tad bit obsessed with dolls. This one won’t take as along though.

As always, thanks for stopping by and Happy Craftin’,

My Newest Project Revealed!!

categories: Crocheted Amigurumi Dolls, Uncategorized

Happy Friday All – Well I’m finally finished and I have to say that I stayed up til almost 2 am finishing HER!

This is my first Doll and I LOVE HER! Not my first Amigurumi as I’ve made animals! See the after math on my table last night?? Ok, so I am not showing you the WHOLE table! LOL! The book I used is in a link below.

Oh Man but it was so FUN making her! I’m thinking I’ve got a new Obsession. How can I not! The possibilities are endless! You know I’m going to HOOK me another one right? You betcha!

Here she is standing up! She’s coming in at about 13″ tall! Now what to name her?? HMMM……

My son likes the name Andrea “Lady A” then changed his mind to Makayla. My daughter and son-in-law like Donna, Sophia, Aubrey then Madison “Maddy” – I’m kinda liking Maddy.

What do you think? As always thanks for stopping by and…

Happy Craftin,
