Meet LooLa

Dressed in Pink all pretty and ready for Pinktastic Party!! But she doesn't look to pleases I'm not sure why sense pink is her favorite color!!
I just love the way her hair turned out I used Red Heart Satin for the light pink and when I brushed it out it gave that cool crimped look!!

Now on to The second made doll ( This is really crazy to me I made these two dolls in 4 days that is seriously a record for me, My crocheting is getting faster I guess)

Meet JenaBee

So my last post was about my hair. Well I truly had fun as a blonde but it was time to go back to a burnet. I feel much happier being a burnet im not to sure why but Blonde hair just wasnt for me. I had to do my Hair all the time when it was blond or it just looked horid I will post before and after pics once i get this brown die washed off my forehead.

2010-07-02T17:27:00.002-06:00

You no longer wana draw any more today
You dont want crochet..
You dont wana have another tea party..
Husbands gone working and your ready to scream

This is What happens
You lose your mind and Bleach your hair

( got her head done) and also i just decided to let my hook create something and looks like I have a lil dog head:) So I have a bunch of lil heads bouncing around here lol!!! hopefully they will get legs, bodeis and arms soon lol

I have been painting again and got my self a set of Prismacolor pencil crayons this past week and some More acrylic paint do to I only had a couple of colors left that weren't dried out from when i use to paint! Well I have been getting alot of painting done. I think its cuz I can do them out side and i dont very much like taking my yarn outdoors.

You can click on the images to see a larger picture of these..

He says he is in Love
He says he means no harm!
Flowers in Hand!!
...What does this lil Creep Want????????

Well he wants May, You see the Pretty May day he picked for her

I free handed this lil guy last night and really had no clue what I was making when i first started I new it would be some sort of monster but never imagined an alien!
Mirk wasn't thought off at first until he was almost done:)

We finally got rain here last night (much needed) and a lovely thunder storm and lightning so maybe that's what made this lil guy come to are lil gloomie home all it took was a gloomy night!
He is much different than the dolls:)
Do you think may will give this lil guy a chance?

Im not sure about him myself!

Meet May...

2010-05-16T20:58:00.003-06:00

But I just never got time:)

I wanted to say

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

to all the mommies out there that are reading my blog!!!

SO what did you all do for mothers day and what special items did you receive?

Ethan made me a lovely card at school, and the kids and hubby went to town and brought home a beautiful cupboard book shelf thing for me ( something I truly Needed to you know put all my yarn in)

What do you think:) I just love being able to have all my stuff in one place i use to have it in the closet in the living room all stored in Rubbermaid containers and wicker baskets I ended up taking the whole closet.. So hubby decided He would get me something that I could put everything in!!! Now I need another I could hardly fit all my yarn and goodies in there!

I have this bad addiction that i think any knitter or crocheter has and it is

YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH YARN

sooo

I just keep buying cuz

I always need more

and I never will have enough

Yes I have this problem

and I will truly admit it that the next time I go to the city I will probley come home with more even though I only need Beige

The kids then bought me another lovely Orchid ( I also have a small addiction to house plants!)

So once I got my Lovely storage closet all organized I finished my Gloomy
Now this gloomy is not dark:) But she is still a lil sister
Meet Betty !!

Now this is wear I would right that Betty is up for grabs in my etsy shop :) BUT She is there but she is all ready reserved! * Sorry * I added photos of Betty yesterday to The facebook fan page and this morning I had a very nice gal send me a message that is now going to be Betty's new owner!

BUT I will be making a couple more gloomies like this one you see the Nose ain't it adorable:)

I also Made a huge Change to the feet!! they are more shoe/foot shaped i think and bigger!

I will say I just love this doll and again this has to be my newest favorite. I can really see my skill increasing with each doll and each one getting a lil bit better as my Skill level increases.

But I need to run

TTYL

Blossom The Flower Child

2010-04-24T15:13:00.002-06:00

Meet Blossom, She just loves the out doors, From Planting flowers to doing all her garden work. With all these Bright colors she is all about Spring and Summer.

Blossom Is wearing a cute lil sun dress with a heart button on the bottom and 4 cute lil colored buttons on the top.
Her raggy looking hat keeps that hot sun off her head as she pulls the weeds out of her flower beds and her scarf is well she just loves the way it matches her hat.

Blossom Is up for grabs in the shop.
I just love the way she turned out i know i say that for every doll but with each doll I get better and better and this one i'm just so proud of that I can't believe I put her up for sale.
I actually broke my sewwing machiine o ut of jail for this Gloomy and to tell you the truth an out fit sewn with a machine is just much cleaner looking than a hand stitched one dont you think?

I bought those cute lil button that are one her dress at Micheals and i think it really adds to the detailing of the Gloomy.

SO one project is finished and im so thrilled about it. Now to finish my 1 sock and the Afghan, and of course get my sisters stuff started. I did remake a dress for one of the lil gloomys and will be adding it either tomorrow or monday in to my shop. Remeber Milly? Well I redid her clothes:)

Well that is all istill havent finished my dishes that is just one never ending job so i really should get off here and maybe do some house work lol

Not much getting finished here

2010-04-23T14:00:00.002-06:00

Well I haven't worked on my Afghan at all :( and I have not finished a single project. I ended up getting the flu bug and was laid up for a couple days, so sick all I could do is just sleep and whine lol
I now have Three projects on the go, including the Afghan! I also have so many things I want to do and have to do lol. BUT I better finish all these things before I start another or i will be getting myself over whelmed.
Looking at the calender I don't think i will be able to accomplish my own Challenge of finishing my Afghan by the end of April :( so I will have to give myself a new date and It shall be ........
I will have to look at the calender more. Next month is going to be alil busy. Both my kids are in soccor and mys ister is graduating next month:)

So lets start with the Gloomy Sense she will Probley be finished sooner than the rest.

She is not named yet !
She is the first ever Bright Gloomy lol Her Eyelids are magenta not black, She also is wearing a slouchy raggy looking hat :) I have one leg done so I just need to make another leg and dress her. OOoooo and name her. I bought some really cute fabric to out fit this girl with and am excited for her to be finished the yellow and the pink I used in this doll is a different yarn than i usually use and its 1/2 Wool and 1/2 Acrylic, it has a fuzzier texture to it and the stuff i used for her hat and scarf is really unusual I bought it at a yarn store and need to search for the wrapper so I can tell ya all exactly what it is called I will say though it is terrible hard to work with i had to us a K hook.

I will add more details on this gal once I have her finished!!

So lately I have been trying to get my crochet skills up there Learning newer techniques stitches etc, SOoo I found some sock yarn in Zellers and decided I shall try to build a Sock .. YEs you read that right A sock. I would say a pair but once I finish this one sock I will maybe make another by next year lmao

So theres my Sock I'm using Pink Camo its turning out pretty cool but boy oh boy is it taking awhile.
The sock Pattern is called ribbon`s and Bows I'm thinking I picked a two complicated pattern for my first try at socks but I really wanted to learn how to do the cable cross stitch

NOw woooo hoo I acomplished something today I updated my blog ppls on my self.

So hopefully next time I will have some finished items to show you all. Im still feeling under the weather so I have been taking it easy .

My sister bought me Yarn to make her

* 3 more dishcloth's

*and a slouchy hat

So I would like to get those done for her soon aswell Due to she bought the yarn/cotton for me to make them for her`:)

So I shall be done with rambling do my dishes up quick and get my Hooker moving lol

A bunch of new stuff :)

2010-04-14T19:22:00.003-06:00

I made 4 slouchy hats:) these two the one pictured above and below are from the pattern called pretty puff slouchy hat that can be found here. Above model is me :P lol and below is my daughter kiera!!

I made two others but gave one away before I took photos of it and the other I made for myself and forgot at a friends house durring the weekend lol

and...

I'm trying to finish an afghan lol

I started this one on Saturday and do plan on finishing it this is my forth try at making an afghan so my hope is to actually finish it. The Pattern im following for this one is called the Blooming Blankie it is or was in the crochet today magazine:) Im challenging myself to have it done by the end of april! I just love the colors and am actually really excited about this one so I don't think it will go in to the closet with the other three that are sitting there unfinished.

so that all seems like alot of crochet but people I make amigurumi`s not blankets lol so to give myself a break from the blanket and well I was searching lovely patterns online i came across this etsy store called berriiiz!
and just feel in love with her dolls but what one thing i just loved was the hair :) and I just needed to know how she did it so I bought the pattern. she had a deal going on so I ended up buying three patterns lol. I bought the patterns for Sugar, Candy and Gloria:)
Well i got the patterns really fast and of course then printed all three out, had them sitting here and just had to start one.

oook i never followed the pattern all the way through I changed alot of stuff. ( i really need to sit down and actually follow a pattern through seriously.

When I was making this doll Kiera ( my daughter) just loved here even when all i had was a head with hair and eyes on it! I was planning on making it for my lil sister who's birthday is in June and told kiera this but when i finished this lil doll Kiera named her lucy-ella and the look in here eys just told me how much my own lil girl wanted to keep this lil lucy-ella.

soooo

She got her lucy-ella!!!! she has practically been hugging her ever sence and they even had a tea party before bed :)

So there is my update and all my works.

Need to run and start working on the is afghan lol

I cant wait to go back and get more.. * the lil kid in me is screaming for more* Sheldon was laughing so hard at me when we walked out, I was practically jumping up and down like a lil girl. I just love stuff like this. The blue one was a mystery one so I had no clue what one I was getting I also dont know what her name is due to in the box had her name covered:( So if any one out there knows what they are called please tell:)

I made three pair of Baby Booties, Man did that get me thinking of how fast my kiddos have grown, these would probley fit on my sons big toe and he is only 6!! lol I got the pattern from Bernat. The Pattern was KW- Baby booties.. They where really easy to make and come together quick. I did learn how to do the dcbp stitch well making these so that was neat!!!!! The Bernat website has lots of amazing free patterns for Crochet and Knitting!!

I plan on giving these for baby gifts im also working on a baby afghan! New baby in the famil coming so i get to make cute baby stuff:)

Man have I been crocheting up a storm:)

Now another lil something... Well not really lil, but a lil sister doll.

Meet Jazmin

See the sad thing about Jazmin is that I have had her arms and the base of her head done for over a month, So she is pretty happy to be finished.

Dont you just love her skull Skirt, I have had that fabric forever and have been wanting to use it for ever!!

She is my 3 lil sister doll.. and I would have to say, I think she is the kindest:)

THe photos didnt pic up teh true color of her leggings but they are a magenta pink:)

ta-da a new gloomy

2010-03-18T22:18:00.003-06:00

Yeah I finished her..

Meet Rose.. (The Gloomy Bunny)
See I wasnt to sure about the albino eyes but after taking gloomy Rose out for a photo shoot. I started to love her a bit more and her wierd eyes.

A lil pi of behind! Her lil bum:) I love the pom pom tail:) In this photo she is wearinga scarf I ended up taking it off and adding a bow instead on her head felt the scarf just didnt do no good for her. ( it was cramping her style lmao)

so once she got that lovely bow she just had to come with me to pick up ethan from the bus but Miss Gloomy Got stuck high up in a tree when I wasn't looking!! I will say she wasnt to happy about that but ooo Well

Once she warmed her self by the fire she decided to look over the bunny pattern you know just to make sure I didnt mess up any where. She looked it over and found no faults now she is grumbling at me about getting it wrote up she cant wait to see other bunnies.. ( even though she has two bunnies here she just thinks she is better than them)

So for who ever might be interested in this bunny pattern I hope to have it wrote up soon. I will include the gloomy version and the not Gloomy version. There is so many things i can add to these bunnies or that you can your self. If I do make another I probley will add some clothes :) But that will have to wait im about bunnied out for a lil bit.

Im working on some baby booties right now I just found out last week that my SIL is Pregnant with number two She is due in October, so I plan on getting some baby stuff made or more like try some haha. I have finished one bootie ( the same color as rose's boots) but it never turned out just quite right. Im going to making the matching one then try again!!

I also hope to make a baby blankie I have a pattern sitting here that im going to try we will see if Iwill actual finish in time for baby!

Well I still have a lil Gloomy to finish aswell soo I better run

TTYL

Bunny Project

2010-03-16T22:47:00.002-06:00

My hope I will just say my hope, is to get my patterns on to etsy by the end of this month even if it is only two that is the plan:) ( thats the forever pattern I have had sitting here the Ruthy monster pattern) I have been working on my Bunny with boots pattern to get it up and well hopefully get it all wrote up this week.. BUT the bunny to me just isn't gloomy material so I decided to make the bunny a two in one.. One nice lil bunny and a gloomy version for all who would want it:)

So here is the sneak peak of the Gloomy Albino Bunny!!! ( of course the bunny wont have to be Albino its just going to be the gloomy version)

So hopefully I will finish this lil gal up tomorrow or the next day:)

I also have done alot of changes on the blog lately and had add a translater I have notice i have been getting lots of visits from around the world!!! :) If you find any errors on the layout feel free to leave a comment and tell me so i can fix it asap!!i know some of the links at the top are still not up but will be soon

Bunny, Toad, and a mush square.

2010-03-12T14:21:00.005-07:00

Been busy busy!!!!!! I have finished off three items and tried something new!!!

So I finished another bunny and never ran in to any mistakes in my pattern * yeah* So I think I will do one more bunny and get the pattern all wrote up!!

I just love how this one turned out:) I dont know how to wright out knitted patterns sence I sorta free handed the last bunnies knitted stuff so with this one I Crochet the boot rims and did a lil scarf:)

I then Made TOAD from Super mario bros!!!

You can find the awesome free pattern for him and toadette here. Im allready working on toadette:) I plan on putting toad in Ethan's easter basket :) I'm hopefully going to make Luigi and mario by christmas for him and a bunch of the other nintendo mario characters :)
The pattern was really easy to follow and it took me no time at all to finish up:)

so something new for me is the graphed out patterns where the square and the exchange of color make a picture sorta like cross stitch but crochet.. NOt sure what you actually call in my brain truly isn't working corectly right now..

Any way so I found a pixelated Mario Mushroom put it on my photo program blew it up and pixelated it, Every Pixel being a stitch ( the first time i have ever done anything like this)
well I started here is a lil collage of my start to finish !!!

I think I did a pretty good job due to not ever doing anything quiet like this before:) I think I will make 3 more lil squares like this and make a lil mario mushroom pillow for Ethan..

I also made a starghan and will have to post picture later of that :)

Hippity Hop!!!! Snow Ball Fight!!!

2010-03-05T20:49:00.003-07:00

I actually got something finished!!! WOOO HOOO

I have around 5 items on the go right now it what is not like me at all but i just have so MANY different ideas that i guess i just desided to start each one!! BUT I got this one done!!! I really wanted to make another bunny and well come up with a new pattern!! I wrote this pattern down so I plan on making the bunny a couple more times following the pattern to work out the glitches.( it will only be fore the bunny its self though)

(pictured with my sledding helmet)

Well once i finished the bunny she really needed some clothes so i was going to Crochet her a lil dress but then remebered them knitting needles i came across last week so decided i would see if I remebered how to knit. ( all i know how to knit is a scarf lol) SO I sorta winged it and knitted the sock toppers ( that was easy). I then made a real simple sweater, Knitted two Squares and two long rectangles!! THen just sew the pieces 2gether:) down side sence this was my first time the sweater is sorta stuck on the bunny lol.. I also knitted the toque :)

Here is a lil collage :) I dont have my photo editing program right now due to the free trial ran out, I bought the program but its in the mail on its way here!!!

So I got to play around on picnik.com its really neat and easy to use!! I have h eard about from many ppl but never went over and tried I guess its cuz I allways just used paint shop!!

I really like the way the knitted stuff works the, the crochet!!! Im more comfterble with crochet for the time being but I think will be working on my knitting skills :)

Well hope you enjoy my new bunny there will be more to come!!

Its been a year

2010-02-11T09:42:00.002-07:00

I can`t believe it it has been one year this month that I started crocheting !!! I have learned so much and have gotten so much better in one year..

I have made so many Amigurumis i cant even keep track of them all. I have created my own pattern and my own items.

What a year of crochet has brought me is the freedom of my imagination.

one of my first projects was Maya it was also my first design..

I look back at that lil girl and can not believe how far I have gone with my crochet
I then did some roxy craft patterns and that made my skills even better.

Go back to last feb, and take a look at all the lovely items I did in the start. Its amazing to see how I progressed and got better..

All the ladies I have meet in this past year and all the Talented ppl out there you all are my inspiration to keep going and I can`t wait to see what I will come up with this year!!

Some WIP shot

2010-02-09T12:40:00.002-07:00

So I have been working on this lil one for around a week on and off he will be quite big in the end! I was really hopen to have him done by now but of course this is all I have :) I have decided to make my own bear pattern up (but have already forgot to write everything down! I'm not completely fond of crochet bears Some are just adorable but there done so much and there is just soooo many Amigurumi bears out there. When I started this guy he was always attended to be a bear though and I decided I will just try to make a bear in my own style.. HE will have BIG BIG feet I hope in the end and BIG Hands!

I think HE is kinda sad that he is purple my original idea was to make him Blue but I didn`t have the color of blue I wanted in my stash so I went with the purples. I hope to have him done this week.

Please give some input I'm not completely fond of him but hubby thinks he looks wonderful I did the eyelids a bit different on this one than what I have done with my other Gloomy`s, I also use bigger Safety eyes!

Two lil baby berry toques

2010-02-03T09:32:00.002-07:00

With Farmers markets and spring just around the corner I thought I better get some stuff made, and just maybe i can do some of the craft shows and stuff this year. I have a big wicker basket with many different amigurumis i have made and not sold yet.. BUT my Berry touques seem to be quite the hit around here with only a select few ppl owning them i have got many requests.

So I decided to build some New born BabyBerry Toques

So far I just have the two done. But plan on making more. I really should right down the pattern for this you can only store so many patterns in your brain lol. The brain is a nice place to store them though lol For my gloomy gurumi dark sister dolls that is where the pattern is locked away in my memory vault. I do have stuff dropped down on paper BUT the rest is all in my noodle. I will eventually write my patterns down. I will probley start with these hat`s.

These two lil berrytoques are new born sizes and I plan on making toddler sizes, kid sizes and adult ones.

Right now Im working on a bigger teddy bear trying to come up with a newwer item I have had no luck with making my own items lately and thats why I have been doing patterns till I got these lil hats made and I decided I missed making my own stuff.

Well i just blabbing need to get my but in gear and do some house work and maybe get the head done on the new item Im making and take pics :)

Happily Married and some new items

2009-12-10T10:49:00.005-07:00

Got the third Amigurumi christmas present done

Meet the lil Fairy Ballerina that will be nameless until christmas

and also has not yet earned her wings

I sorta used the Punky bunny pattern for reference but chaged alot of things in the pattern.. The sizing is a bit different. The bunny and fawn are allready wrapped so I couldn't get a show of the three 2gether :)

AINT SHE A CUTIE

The hair is Leaves I crochet around ten leaves and stitched them on to the head it is really hard to see the detailing in the photo but it looks really neat the leaves where first going to be her skirt a then out of know where I pined two to her head and decided to use it for her hair. She has no ears they are hiding lol so not sure what sort of animal she is :Z

The feet have toes and I made lil green slippers that are removable!!

I also finished a lovely scarf

Its called Queen Ann's lace scarf

you can find the pattern here for free

It is going to one of my grandmothers for christmas and Im almost done the second one. It is in a deep purple ( the second one)

This one is in browns and has other colors mixed in the photo does not do justice.

Im also not that great at taking pics of scarfs lol

It is around 5 feet long so it will be able to wrap around your neck twice..

Well 44 days till the wedding i have revamped the flower girl baskets and the ringbearer pillow will take pictures later today and hopefully post tomorrow.. Im going to be finishing up the bouquets tonight :)

~hApPy CrAfTiNg~

~Punk Bunny~

2009-11-30T17:01:00.003-07:00

I finished this a couple days ago but sence he is for my son for christmas I have been having problems trying to get this bunnies photos done.. I ended up doing them in my room so Im not completely happy with the photos but they will work.

I made him a lil back pack that ethan could put lil trinket in.. I never did do the skull on the shirt.. I think it looks just fine without it. I Just love the way it turned out and am sure he will love it just as much

So two Handmade presents done :)

Got the kids xmas shopping done yesterday and finished sheldon up today.. Ordered stuff through Sears for sheldon and 1 thing will be here by dec 5 and the big thing will be here on the 15 :)

~Starting my christmas crocheting~

2009-11-21T14:47:00.002-07:00

I decided to open up One of my Crochet pattern books ( I WILL SAY my FAVORITE one) and make some items out of it for christmas for the lil ones in my family..

Amigurumi Super Happy Crochet by Elizabeth Doherty.. If you have followed my blog in the past i have mentioned this book times.. I made the piglet for my best friends lil boys first birthday. I made Strawbeary for fun.

One of the main reasons I got the book was for The Friends Forever Fawn..

I have been wanting to make it sense I got the book but just never got around to it..

So well I was pondering on what to make or what to get for my lil Sister Sienna who is 4 yrs old i decided the best gift would be hand made.. I planned and still plan on making her a berry hat like I made kiera but I also wanted to make her a toy.. She is the proud owner of my Second Ruthy doll I named Missy, ( that she got as part of her birthday present, and also last christmas I made her a fab lil purse with her name (I know I spoil the kids in my family)) She Loves all my creations so I decided that this lil fawn would be great for her, and that she would give it so much love

SO with a lil love and some work I finished this great lil fawn in three days ( Seriously a record for me)

I just love the way it turned out and I think I better put her in a box and wrap her up before i decide to keep her for my self..

So I got 1 gift done and many to go ..

Im working on the Punk Bunny out of the same book for my son For Christmas he is right into the Tech Decks and thought that the punk bunny out of the book would suit the skateboards :) I got the arms, the muzzle and the eye patches done working on the ears now and hopefully will finish them tonight and get the body Started ...

72 days till the wedding bells will be ringing

2009-11-11T23:02:00.003-07:00

WOW..

72 days till are wedding.. Im excited nervous and not sure what else..

We got most stuff done just got get the licenses for everything and thats about it..

I have been bad and haven't made anything.. I have tried to make a couple different things and frogged it all.. BUT Im going to start working on christmas presents..

I have been terrible busy, WIth ethan in school it seems like Im go go go..

We go Public skating every monday night then on thursdays is skating at school so I go there to help tie skates etc.. ITs been alot of fun and both kids are learning to skate.. Ethan's first go was last thursday and he did awsome on monday he even skated by himself with no help..

With that said I have been crochet lol I have two finished projects...

From Roxycraft she did a crochet along with this lil panda but I didn't make till just a couple days ago and think it is adorable. You can find the pattern and info here at Craftzine.

I think I might make a couple more of these to give for gifts... I never did brush it enough to get it right fuzzy i will try that next time!!

So we have a couple new babies in the family I think I talked about before that I was making baby blankets for them well i never did finish them lmao opps So sense I really didn't feel like making them or finishing them I should say I thought lil hats would be cute sense it is getting cold here and the winter is coming.. So I came up with this lil Apple hat..

I think it turned out adorable and now I want one lol I have to make my daughter one sence she has to have one now.. This one is Small its for a 0-3mths I should say Its been awile sence my kiddos heads where that small lol

I know I havent been around and well I have been terrible busy Gardening and working outside.. I even had to go fencing ( BARBWIRE) had some very lovely marks all over my body.. I decided to fight with the barb wire and well it won.. I had a huge Blister on the Palm of my hand from the hammer and terrible gouges all over my arms from the stupid barbs.

But I though sence i havent got any FINISHED of item's in crochet I could show you MY lovely flowers that I have worked so hard on ..

These are my PAnsies you see i have never bought these ones I just found them aroud 4 years ago in the middle of the lawn at the old house i lived at and transplanted them. I got lucky this Spring sense the house we use to live in has no one in it i went there and dug up my beloved lil pansies.. ( I think they like the new place)

place) This one I bought I have yellow, purple and orange aswell when I got them the only had one flower on each plant and now there covered.. (I like this close up)

So I have been busy busy busy I got over 26 squares done for the blanket I'm going to make for kiera for Christmas and I'm thinking it may take that long... I should have thought of it at first but I should have made the squares bigger there around 4X4 inches and I want the blanket to at least fit her single bed so I have alot more squares to build lmao..

This one has been sitting awile Sence well I actually started her before the turtle b ut when I seen the turtle pattern and got it I just had to make it to so well This gloomy got put on the back burner for the time being lol ... I would say Im working on her but that would be a lie.. I started something else

GRANNY SQUARES LOL

So I have been So wanting to make some sence well they are usually one of the first things you learn to crochet well not me I went right to Amigurumi's SO I never did get the chance to do a granny square ( lil secret I tried and totally messed it up so Put it in the I have to learn pile) I felt now was the time to try sence I Have gotten the hang of DC and Skipping and turning and well everything and I can now keep count so these are my squares.

I have made 6 squares sence last night they are small the pattern I was following was from a learning to crochet book I picked up awile ago when I was learning and this is the hardest pattern in the book. Its to make a Granny Square Baby Afghan.. BuT of cource im not going to make the lil blanket, I hope to make enough squares to make a blanket for Kiera for Christmas.. SO hope to be done before christmas ( im sure I Will be ) But I have to make it big enough for her. SO Once this is done it will be gettiong put away for christmas so sad to talk about christmas when I just put my Garden in BAD ME...

Any way THE s quares are done in Dusty Rose, Dust Blue and Beige. I took the pics just now and its dark SO i will be adding more progress shots latter on so you all can see the better coloring of the squares.

2009-05-15T15:53:00.002-06:00

So for $1 I bought A vintage Pink Flowered sheet

So for $1 I made 1 shirt and 1 dress for my daughter ( AND i have Lots of sheet Fabric left i could probley make 1 more dress and two more shirts if I wanted to lol )

So for $1 I made these

Fashion Show please...

* Music*

The lil Model Did a great job for her first show:) The model IS my 3year ol' daughter Kiera.. ( and for those who just started reading my daughter cut of her hair over a month ago and we had to get it cut off :( At least its growing out again :) These clothes are for her. We have probley around 100 pics lmao But I just picked out a couple to show off the dress and shirt .. I'm not really fond of putting my kids pictures on my blog due to the fact that I have run in to ppl on the net that steal ppl's kiddos pics and use them as there own not funny at all.... ( that is why I have my URL across them, and that is why I don't post many pics of my kids on here, Sence my blog is an open blog ) Soo dadadadaaaaaaaaaa

First up a halter top Sun dress

Next up is a lil Summer halter shirt

Its the same idea as the dress but shorter.. The pattern I got also Has pants, shorts and a jumper halter set and head bands.. Kiera wants all of them lmao Not sure if I will get all them done Im going to make her another dress and shirt though for surely..

2009-05-09T20:54:00.002-06:00

So I guess I have dealt with so much poo I had to make a pig lol j/k

I actually have been working on this lil guy for a couple days.. Making him in between the clean ups and to well relax a bit..

Crocheting is really relaxing and relives stress..

I wanted to make something for my lil Nephew 's 1st bday present.. ( we really aren't related but Practically is family me and his mommy have known each other sense we where lil)

He is having a farm themed bday Party and thought a lil piggy would be the best lil Present

So meet Oink Cooper's Lil Piggy..

This lil Guy is from a pattern in the book Amigurumi Super happy Crochet Cute by Elizabeth Doherty.. Its such a cute pattern and such a cute pig I think I will be making a couple more for some lil piglets in my house..

So back to Cleaning up the pooo in the basement I'm hopping the problem is fixed with the sewer now but you never know It hasn't Back Fired in awhile so maybe its fixed... :) ~*Fingers crossed*~.

DAMN SEWWWER

2009-05-09T15:30:00.002-06:00

So I'm here alive but really busy..

With all this warm weather I have been outside but that's not what has been keeping me away..

Are sewer is backing up in to are house ( NO FUN) We first thought it was because are lagoon was to full well not sure what the problem is and of course Sheldon is gone seeding so I have been dealing with this by myself well with help From my lil Bro in law but still..

SO I just thought I would jump on and say Im alive just with great problem's Allot of the kids toys are being throw en out due to this and well allot of damage from it :( not happy at all..

But I gotta go back and suck up all the water THANK GOD we have one of them nifty water sucking vacuum machine things lmao

SO every PLEASE my house starts to drain I can't even do laundry :(

Doilies any one

2009-05-04T23:43:00.002-06:00

So it has come to this

IM MAKING DOILIES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Well I never thought it would ocme to this but I got a new addiction

I really needed to take a break from mY Amigurumi's for awile ( to get some new ideas going in my head) SOooo I decided to work up these

I have them numbered I started out with a pattern It was called my First doilie I thouhgt I book marked and of cource now can't find it.

So The first one I followed the pattern and I Thought It worked out then I made th second one Following the pattern but it turned out smaller lol.. and well with the third I thought screw the pattern and sent on my merry way..

They were really simple to work out I made those three in one day plus 1 more

I Have made a total of 5 Doilies lol They are bigger and would make great hot pads or something.. Im trying to make one out of the actual yarn they use to make doilies and with an itty bitty hook but I have allready messed that on up So I may show but May not.

...

SO With this I don't want no worries I Will be making Amigurumis just took a couple days break to let my blisters on my hands to heal.

I have some Personal family matters to take care of this week and hopefully after that I will have some new critter to show you all I do have on I finished a couple days ago and will try to get pics done of her she isn't my favorite but oh well she is kinda cute she's to in to the Cutsie Poo Monster collection.

So just so you know I am alive.... And i'm not to sure when My store will open There is just to much stuff going on in my life right now..

Laney... New Dark Sisters

2009-04-29T22:32:00.003-06:00

Finally Finished
Another Dark Sister

Meet Laney

I used a light Greyish white for her instead of the usual Grey

She is also Jointed :)

HER ARMS MOVE :)

Here she is standing up I have to say this one has alot of Personality

She seems sorta stuck up to me and to tell ya the truth this one actually has made me jump a couple times.

( Yes my own Creations scary me sometimes lol )

And Why not a four some shot

Well hope you all enjoy the newest Its getting late here and MY internet has been acting up again not sure what to say about that I have called the ppl I go through and well THEy have no clue what is going on any more sence it will work fine then all of a sudden it like takes a holiday for a couple days s o finally sence Monsy night I got on today to update..

I Talked to the gall today and supposably there going to be coming out soon thank god I still have My dial up Connected so I could make sure I had no important letters in my email box :)

Dial UP SUCKS it took me like and hour

Well I havea couple things in the works the one might be getting frogged though :) Not turning out exactly like I wanted I don't have any Dark Sisters on the go write now I need them all to get use to eachother lol

LAney is the odd one out right now though SOOO i might make a matching one for her

Woo hoo PDF

2009-04-25T13:02:00.006-06:00

So I finally sat down and did it thanks to Crochetville. If all goes wrong search a message board So that is where I found the link to Cute PDF

www.cutepdf.com Is a great site and has a free download to create your documents in to pdf is easy to use and well, well if you know how to use word document a click print your set.

Soooo

I GOT THE RUTHY PATTERN DONE and wrote all up

I just sent it out to a lady to get tested again sense last time I got it tested I accidentally added like 10 rows in the body lol

So Once it has been tested ( and it works out good) it will be up for sale

NOW how do ppl do the whole pattern thing

I have the PDF file

~ Just emailing it to the person seems odd to do when they buy it or maybe not.. ( i will do it that way I'm on the computer at least once a day)

I know when I bought a pattern awhile ago I got sent a link then went to some site thinger and downloaded it there .. Oh the days of dial up it took me forever to download it.

Man alive I feel like such a bone head sense I don't know any of this stuff.. ( IM LEARNING )

Any way

The Ruthy Pattern is 4 pages and has lil photos through out. I think its worded well I guess my tester will tell me if I'm wrong..

Well just thought i would update quick

I'm also thinking of changing the name of my blog

from not so perfect housewife to Gloomy Gurumi's

What do you guy's think?

Do you think that would be a good idea?

Of cource the link won't change

well im sorta get excitted about everything its about time to have a lil excitment here for me any way lol ( won't get in to that)

Oh here is the newest button I made

Im going to make some others, the large button i made and showed the other day is also some what of what the tag on each doll will look like

New Dark Sister~ The Punk Rock Princess~Update On Gloomy Gurumi

2009-04-24T20:17:00.006-06:00

SOooooo As OF right now no opening date for the store But I also looked in to the whole name change thing and well I would have to get a new email to register with in what I really don't want to do sense Im bad enough Checking one email addy right now so
MY URLs Will stay at

craftymumm2two.etsy.com
It matches my blog I guess you can say
craftymummy2two.blogspot.com
I guess sense im now as Craftymummy2two all over the net its not a bad thing.
If I do good at the store I Will probley Change it or even Open up my own site, ( actually looking in to that now * thanks BellaKarma* )

ALSO
I still havent figured out anything about the PDF file OR whatever

So to the newwest Dark Sister

This lil One may be leaving me soon We will see...
As of now Im Calling Her Corral

I love the way she turned out and she has some cute lil Features.

( I wasn't sure about the neon Pink but I think the end result turned out great)

( I couldn't fix the color's in the photo to the actuall colors but the purple IS more Purple than that the camera made it more of a blue, THE white in her hair is actually a light pink She wasn't that easy to photo due to the abstract of different colors)

Im soooo Proud of her out fit I actually Crochet it....

But any way I need to run I feel a cold coming on and Am thinking a nice hot bath will make it better.

I also Want to make a quick note thank you all who have commented on my blog It means the world to me...

~HAPpY CrAfTiNg~

Opening Soon and need a lil HELP

2009-04-23T14:21:00.002-06:00

So I finally decided On a shop name..
Gloomy Gurumi's

(what my link button will look like in a larger scale)
Of course its not all going to be my dark dolls But they are kinda turning into my specialty.
I will be selling finished dolls.. The regular size dolls are around 13 in long and will be going for I'm thinking some where between $75-$80 ( the dark dolls that is sense there is alot more detail in them and of course the thick Hair. etc.. ) So do you guys think that is a reasonable price.. That is only For the one's Like Bobby and Myla!!! For Ones like Oswald and Bubbles I was thinking around the $50-$60 ( there isn't as much detail and Plus not the dark hair) and for the Monster pets like Meow-key $30-$35.. ( due to they are alot smaller ) Please leave a comment on what you all think.
I would l like to sell some of my first patterns that I have wrote up But Am having a problem Figuring out the how to make them in to PDF File where when you load it it will be three or more pages together so far all I figured out is to make 1 page then have to send lets say the three pages by them selves.. So lets say My pattern is going to be three pages Cover page and then pattern pages .. How in the world can I make them in to three together instead of three separate sheets to send.
So if any one has info On this plzzz share... You can email me at toewsrus(@)gmail(.)com

So My store .. Gloomy Gurumi's
I was getting things going lastnight and well Noticed something I should have had before The link to the store will be my Username :( So I have to delete my old account and start again.. I want it to be GloomyGurumis.etsy not craftymummy2two.etsy
soooo With that said I hope to get it all fixed up by the end of this week

But I have more to write and have to go gO figure
Kindergarten Registration is today and me and Ethan have to head over to the school.. Gotta get dressed and made all up to go.. So I will Update again probley either later today or tomorrow almost done my third dark daughter Opps Sister

Myla's Got Clothes

2009-04-22T10:00:00.002-06:00

What do you think ITs just a simple lil wrap around with a cute lil poppy latch.

I think She looks 10X better now that she is clothed.. MY chubby MYla needed something to cover her chub.

And Here is a photo I was playing around with...

~Thanks For looking~

Im in The middle of making a third dark daughter.. IT just happens that the colors I picked out happen to do be a request I just got soooo I Hope to get more done of her today:)

I have the head in the works :)

~ HaPpy CrAftiNg~

She is done..

2009-04-20T20:32:00.002-06:00

SO I finished Strawbeary from the Book By Beth D.

I wasn't sure about her when I was making her and thought she wasn't going to turn out the way I wanted her to..

BuT Im really happy with her out come and I think I did a pretty good job for doing the hardest pattern in the book.

I changed the color's of her, and think they all went together great. One thing I messed up on is I should have maybe made the skirt a lil longer or something lol. I also messed up on the one foot but you can't tell from the photos so I will just keep it quiet now lol.

I used these Cute lil Brands ( I think thats what they are called) for her shoes..

I got them at the craft store in the Scrapbook section i thing there adorable that is also what used on her shirt instead of a button.

Hope you all enjoy her The pattern was very easy to follow and I think she turned out great.

Here is one last photo

Tanning in the sun lol

Well hope every one had a great weekend, It was really nice here and with the nice weather we lost most of are SNOW * ya* We still have some left man alive its the end of April, BUt then again Im in Canada THe northern part of Alberta so snow at the end of April isn't to rare. We are getting some nice lovely April Showers tonight.

* April Showers Bring MAy Flowers*

Im not to sure what my next Project will be I have many ideas on the next, I have to finish up Myla's Outfit, Ok Start on it lol and then start maybe another monster. Im think Baby Monster???

Im still working on things to openning up an Etsy shop and relaly hop to start it up Beg- of may But we will see I do have a lil collection going so Maybe I will sell what I have see how it goes.

BUt any way till next time

~HaPpY CrAfTiNg~

Myla... Is almost done another dark Sister

2009-04-18T14:52:00.004-06:00

The Newest Dark Daughter ( A ok All these Vamp Books are getting to me lol) So Here she is THE long awaited Myla the dark Sister to Bobby..

She is a lil more chubbier My oops. And well IS still in her Underwear I will be getting her out fit done today I hope if I get a chance.

I like the way s he turned out I wasn't Feeling the red at first but once I got her done I'm happy with the out come.. I guess she isn't complete yet.. NEEDS CLOTHES LMAO

One last shot of Myla By her self. I think Bobby feels a little bit better now sense she isn't the only one in the house now that is soooo dark. But its sad to say that one of these gals may be leaving me. My uncle wanted to buy Bobby off me during Easter and I told him to wait till I do another one. SO I will be letting him choose what one he wants to buy.. :( Not sure if I'm ready to let either of them go yet.

So Write after I Finished Myla I started on another , Its from The Book I posted Yesterday

Its Strawberry !!!! of course Silly me goes to the back of the book to start at the hardest pattern but so far she is turning out good. I don't have the ears attached yet though and well am working at it oddly sense I got the head /body started last night and Should have really started the way the pattern says at the arms so I have had to stop with the body and work the arms lol

Hopefully will Finish more today

HapPy CrAftIng

Woo Hoo got my book

2009-04-17T13:03:00.003-06:00

So sense I started Making Amigurumi animals I have wanted to get Beth Doherty's Book Amigurumi Super happy Crochet Cute. (You can find her Blog Here and see all here newer creations) I love all her work she is one amazing lady. Allot of my stuff I find the inspiration from her creations. SO of course I HAD to have her book I want to make the friends forever fawn, and all the rest. The book is amazing and I recommend to any Beginner Crocheter's or if your even interested in learning how to do Amigurumi Critters There is Great photos and How to do the stitches. I Wish I would have gotten it when I was first learning it would have saved me a lot of headaches.

So thumbs up to Beth For Creating such an amazing book and creations, I can't wait to try some of the pattern's.

( You can order this book through Amazon or Chapters)

SO I'm almost done My second Dark Monster she is turning out great I Have decided to hold all photos till I'm DONE her. It should be tonight or later today I only have one arm to do and he is done. I'm trying to figure out if I Shall Crochet her a Out fit or Sew it.

I guess ill figure that out once I finish her arm.

As for custom orders..

I Plan On starting up an etsy shop soon I can't tell you how soon sense I'm sorta learning about all this stuff. Once I Do I may have some patterns up IM not sure If I will be giving out this pattern I made up for these newer monsters . But once I do have enough Stuff and have figure everything out I Will be selling my creations... If you are interested in anything, Feel free to send me and email at toewsrus(at)gmail(dot)com

I need to sit down one of these days and figure out how to do a PDF file for patterns.. If any one knows any good links on the subject please share.

MEOW~~

2009-04-13T16:45:00.002-06:00

Why Not have a monster Pet..

Meet Meow-key

Each one Of my Monster Dolls have toes ( well the newer ones any way) With my monster pets there feet are a tad Bigger here is a close up of them :)

I have Decided on the name Monster Dolls for the bigger ones and now there will also BE Monster Pets ( they will be shorter legged and armed and of course have some sort of pet kindness to them)

I have a custom Order to do I have to make another Bobby well of course it won't be Bobby but another Dark monster doll. I can't wait to start this new one. I hope to make a boy dark one as well and a gloomy pet to go with them. :)

I have been asked about prices and am still having a hard time deciding withe these ones they take allot longer that the normal ones due to detailing. ( I put allot of love and work in to all my pieces and will not usually photo them unless I'm happy with the out come.)

So feel free to suggest me prices in my blog post about Bobby I wrote the sizes. IT usually takes me from 3 - 5 days to get one done depending on what is going on in my life.

Any way here is a couple last pics that I took and enjoyed.. Hope you all do to!!

And why not another group Shot

Happy Easter

2009-04-12T11:43:00.002-06:00

Just wanted To drop a quick line and tell every one

Happy Easter..

Hope Every one is having a good day!!

I have a WIP just about done will hopefully get it done by tomorrow If I get time ...

NEw Monster Doll !! MOnster Pet?? Hmmmm

You'll have to wait and see

It may go Ruff ruff or Meow lol

Meet Bobby The dark side of things

2009-04-09T10:58:00.004-06:00

Meet Bobby

I had a real hard time coming up with her name and just decided on Bobby.

She is My faovrite one yet.

I took Me awile to get her finished and well her hair

was so much fun when I had it all done Kiera decided to Cut her hair so I had to fix it all up..

Bobby Is alot bigger that the rest I will take photos of all them together later today..

To see more photos go to my Flickr page ...

She also has a bra and Panties will try to get some pics of that later due to the ones I took Im not to happy about :)

Update.. I have been Asked what Bobby's Measurements are and really you can't tell the size of anything in photo's.. ( I try to make most of my creatures at a reasonable size I like making small ones but love taking the extra time and effort to get them bigger)

Bobby Measures 13 1/2 in long from her head - toes

Bubbles measure 11 inches long

Oswald is a whole 10 inches long ( hes a shorty)

I made Bobby's legs alot longer than Bubbles and Oswalds.. MAde her more lanky the size difference between Bubles and Oswald has to do with the yarn.. They have the same amount of stithes and Rnds.

Dark-Mysterious

2009-04-06T11:18:00.004-06:00

Bubbles... Oswalds Gal Friend

2009-04-02T12:58:00.002-06:00

So She is Finished

And not to happy about her mate..
She thinks i should have made him more active

so she wouldn't have to do all the house work.

I really happy the way she turned out I learned allot making Oswald and had allot of hidden Mistakes in him.. With her I fixed them and chaged how I did some things like the toes and feet :)

She is a tad bigger due to the fact I used a more thicker yarn ..

Bubbles Dress was fun I had no clue what I was doing I tried many many many Things but finally cut to pieces and Added an elastic around the top.. I love the Fabric and actually bought it to make a Yarn Bag For myself :)

But I need to go my daughter is being a lil grouchy she has a cold and well Lets just say I hope it goes away by this weekend.. ITS HER BIRTHDAY.. My baby is Turning 3 :( Maybe the terrible twos will run away that day hahahaha Wonder what year Three of Kiera's life will bring forward and what new things she will Teach me.. my son was a way different Fish lol
