Little Pigtail Girl

This is the little Pigtail Girl. After doing so many amigurumi projects, I believe this is the one I want to share with you. Now, at this time I have to complete some commissioned work and will be writing the pattern. Please be patient and it will be worth the wait. This is one of my proudest works and I can't wait to share with you. Until then, thanks for everyone's support. Valis

First day of Spring

Cowgirl Rabbit Complete

Feeling better after a brief encounter with a virus. Able to complete this Cowgirl Rabbit  for a friend's daughter for Easter. Coming soon will be her brother's cowboy rabbit. I recently made them a couple of Minions from the movie, Dispicable Me.     This is a very popular movie and now I own the DVD.                                                                                     




New Designs

El Chupacabra!

I thought making amigurumis was a fad for me, but I have had so many requests for different projects.This has been great. I feel useful for a change.

Embroidered eyes for a 2 yr old. Safety 1st!

I made a chupacabra for a doctor for a gift to his sister. It was a great challenge and absolutely a joy to make. Along with that order, I made a golden retirever and a kitty for 2 little girls.

I made an 11 inch Batgirl to follow the 16 inch Batman figure for a duo Birthday gift for a little girl and her uncle. My friend was nice to take a picture of the gift before she left for the party. I brushed the yarn for the hair and it came out silky and wavy. I did not want a yarn-ie type of hair. Had to make it a little unique.














I have been inspired with the Dispicable Me movie and had to buy it. So many people at work wanted the minions  of various shapes. But I do love the response and chuckles after they receive their order.

Pretty soon, I will be completing Easter bunnies and other cute forest animals. Looking forward to sharing all with you. For those that ordered, thank you so much for your support.

With gratitude, Valis

New Items to share

Since I have been enjoying amigurumi crochet, I have alot of requests to make unique gifts. Just recently completed Batman but in the photo, the cape is not completed. Making from no available patterns, I have to trust alot on photos and help from my comic book collecting spouse. Thank goodness.

The request was for a 16 inch character. I did this project based on three +/- 5 inch segments of the whole body. After that, it was just doing the project.
I have to make a small Batgirl to complete the commissioned work. All in all, this has been a labour of love.

Cookie's pig, panda, and kitten

Lila's Panda

Lion and Lime Sherbet Kittens

         
There is a great easy purchased pattern from Sarah K. Walker in Ravelry . Look up the title, Wilbur, Bejing or Purrr . Here is the first Panda I made for a friend. I showed it to my mom and she had to have one and pig, too. I told her about the Valentine Sherbet Kitten Pattern and I made her a light golden tinsel kitty. At work a really good friend asked for a Lion type kitten and made a Lime Sherbet Kitten for a nite nurse who needed cheering up. She works hard and needed a smile on her face. It worked!
Enjoy the latest pics and will write soon! Valis

Happy Valentine's Day To You...

 This is what I love to receive for Valentine's Day every year....my sweet husband seems to find them and I go crazy adding to my collection.

 This is my Diego inspired doll that my friends love to give to their sons. The monkey is another one of my favorite softies to make for my friends. Gave one with magnet hands so as to hold his banana. This one is a popular item.I made so many. Soon I will make a pattern.

Made this monkey this weekend for a friend's nephew.

Bought this crochet pattern which is fast and easy.

This unique 3 mitten project was made for a new couple and it is called Smittens.

I thought the rush for for Christmas was extremely busy, but Valentine's Day beats it hands down for me. 

This was a special order for a dear friend.

Added glue to safety eyes for added security.

Made several Sherbet Kittens found in Ravelry for free. Everyone loves them.

This was given to a patient to lift his spirits.

One girl wanted hers as a lion...cute, huh?

Made these for my bosses for VD.

Another nurse made a request to make a look-alike for her husband in his gii along with the black belt and specified details.

HK golf club cover for a little girl.

.
One Doctor was given a crocheted kitten for his daughter's birthday and I was commissioned to make a golf club cover with Hello Kitty theme. That was a great project to make-it was a knit-crochet combination. 










 Here are the accumulated photos that I would like to share with you. Valis

Returning from a hiatus....

 Sorry for being gone so long but I definitely needed a time out. However, several months ago when I visited Houston, My friend, Jackie introduced me to amigurumi. OMG! I have not stopped and still going strong. i became very busy since then. There are so many sites for free patterns and I have been working on my own patterns. Patterns to come soon. In the meantime, here are some pics.
