Raspberry

I have a feeling I'll be making a series of these quirky little bear-type critters. I'd like to start making the limbs posable.

Mayberry

This little critter was improvised from the "Bedfellows" pattern by Camilla Engman in The Happy Hooker. I'm not exactly sure what he is... I gave him semi-sphere ears, long skinny limbs, and a soft pink cat nose.

felt strawberries

I'm visiting a friend of mine in Montréal this weekend, and planning to bring her a bamboo steamer full of felt strawberries. These things whip up incredibly quickly. I might just fill a few with catnip to give to her cat, too.

oh deer!

I started this deer a few days ago. I picked up a gigantic pile of felts from a small thrift store near me that's only ever open (for very limited hours!) on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Cruelly, they have a giant display window, which can be somewhat torturous to walk by on, say, a Sunday.

Here's the finished prancing doe. I was undecided as to whether to cut around the legs but, upon looking at this photo, I think I will. This appliqué will likely find its way onto a pillow.

bunny softie

This softie stands 9" tall, and is made from natural cotton with a pink felt back. I made the contours a little asymmetrical to keep it kitschy. I love how it looks as though she is daydreaming about something delightfully secretive.

Atilla the Bun

I'm super lucky to have a job that allows me to craft during downtime. I made this wee amigurumi during my shift yesterday. My mom taught me to crochet when I was 7, but somehow I hadn't yet tried amigurumi. He's not that small, coming in at about 6" tall (not including ears, which can be bent to stand up straight). I'm not thrilled with his face, but I'm out of safety eyes, and I thought that leaving him faceless for too long would be a little harsh.

hood scarf

This ultra-warm hood scarf somehow makes Toronto winters a little less treacherous. Made with M&K cobweb mohair from this pattern.
