Monkey with Colorful Jumper

With colourful yarns that I have, finally I made monkey with colorful jumper...:). His height is 24cm.
My plan is making several monkeys with different colors of jumper for February market.
Hmmm... I wanna test my taste of combining color toooo....:). Hope you like them...:)

Happy 'Rock" Year...:)

When I made softies sometimes I asked my children about my design. One day I decided to make Mushroom Rattle. Finally It made noise when shaked. This time I was using correct rattle insert. I have made before but it never made noise. So I ask my daughter to play with it.


But it is not like mushroom. It is like maracas...:). A Mushroomcas...:)
Suddenly my daughter said " Mum I should put on my sunglass now...I will rock...
This is my michrophone...:"




Happy New year...:). Wish you a Rock year...:)

The Colors of summer..:)

It is summer holiday....:). I went to several stores to check the summer yarn before Dec 25. I didnt want to be packed in Christmas and End Year sale...:P Using cotton is my preference when making crochet dolls. So that why it is the best time to check summer yarn in store. Last year I tried several cotton yarn then I began to classify 2 groups that I like most.

1. Cotton Blend from Panda ( crochet hook : 3.5mm)

This summer there are new colors that I found : blue,red, green, purple brighter than last year edition!
I love them...:). I donot know why Spotlight donot have this yarn this year, last year I bought alot from spotlight. But Lincraft and Wollybut in Rosanna stock them...:).




2. Thicker yarn

Bettle Moda vera from spotlight, Coton from Sullivan and Sean Sheep from BIG W. The good things is that I can make combination from different brand...:). The bad things that they cannot be combined with cotton blend because different thickness. That what I learnt this year about choosing yarn. I will write a bout it in another post later.




So that what I have this holiday. Ready to make the new project for next year...:).

Ginger Bread Puppets are back..:)

These are the dolls that will appear on this coming sunday. I hope the weather will be nice.
I prepared finger puppets. Look there is ginger bread boy...:). But not only that it will be accompanied by ginger bread GIRL..:). Run..Run..Run.. you can't catch me..:).





The Ginger bread girl idea was from South Morang Kinder teacher. I made the ginger bread man last August. I can't make more of these puppets this time since I couldn't find the cookie brown yarn. Anyway
summer is approaching so that it is perfect time to find summer color that good for animals dolls....:)
See you on Sunday...:).

Not Tutorial Page...:)

I learnt crochet by viewing the youtube and read from the book. Learning by ourself is not as harder as yesteryears. Many tutorial in the cyberspace. I read a lot from the bloggers around the world that share their skills. I want to share my experience tooo...:). But Im not good at writing english, as english is my second language, so I just want to write shortly about my 'accident' when learning making amigurumi.
I decided to write in new page called "Tip or Trick". We just passed halloween, didnt we?
