Crafty people!

Is it alright to up this topic?

The baked goods on this page make me drool. @_@ I love baking too, but I'm not much of a cake designer.

But the reason I'm upping this is because I'm excited that I've started to freehand crochet projects. I'm designing and making my own amigurumi and the last one, I wrote down what I was doing so I now have my first self written pattern. I've made mostly neopets so far. Been playing neopets since I was 13, sort of stuck with it. And they have cute pets I can make amigurumi of!

So my first freehanded project was a simple one, since a meerca is basically a sphere with a face. 😛

It's this neopet :

And my last project was this, I'm pleased with the result!

Is this neopet :

I plan on making the first one (and the others I've made) again and writing down what I'm doing so I'll have patterns of them as well. Probably will put them on a website/blog. 🙂

They are so cute!

Ah these are amazing! I'm such a huge fan of amigurumi. And yours are so good! Is there any chance of you taking commissions? :p

Thank you both!

I've never sold any of my amigurumi in my life, I'm a bit scared of taking commissions to be honest. I do give away my creations, though. And I love to practise. So I don't know what you would want to have made, but I could give it a shot and if you like the end result mail it to you? I just can't guarantee I'll be able to make what you want, haha. Depends on what it is.

Thank you both!

That sounds incredible! Wait I'll find a picture of the character I was thinking of, it's pretty much round so I think it might be ok. (feel free to say no :p)
Catbug!

If I don't think I can do it, I'll let you know, haha. I'll check back tomorrow or send me a message and I'll reply to it when I get back online. 🙂

Edit : Just saw the pic. Yes, I think I can make that. I don't know how long it will take exactly (and I'll be going on holiday for a week next week), but it'll probably be done when I get back, since I'm taking my crochet stuff with me wherever I go.  ;D

A bag I decorated yesterday! Not going to be for sale as it took me sooooo long to do no one would pay as much as I'd have to charge lol

Though, just had a thought about laser cutting... I'll think on that...

It's a quote from Orson Welles 🙂

Haha, what a great quote and the bag looks amazing!

So you did all those letters by hand? I can imagine that taking a while.

I need that bag lol.

Thanks! I was thinking on it while walking today and I might do it to sell, but machine embroidered 🙂

I did do them all by hand! Pretty tricky lol

Janine, I love that bag!!  I agree, what a great quote on it.  Did you come up with it or see it somewhere?  It's absolutely brilliant.  Put it on a headband? 😀

I want a Neopet, Rij... those are just amazing!  A sphere with a face :D... are you selling them? 🙂 🙂

... Catbug!

Just love the Catbug... OMG so cute.  I love cute. ;D

Thank you! And I'm not selling the 'prototypes', but I could easilly remake them. 🙂 With the rainbow one, I wrote down what I did, so I have a pattern (which I could also give if you can crochet/have family/friends who can crochet), the purple one I want to redo and write down what I'm doing for easy replication (and pattern sharing) later on.

I wouldn't be selling neopets by the way, I don't think that's allowed by copyright rules, at least that's what they say on the website. But I can give them away. ;D I'd only ask shipping costs or something.

But I do want to make a blog or something to share the neopets patterns on, because as long as I don't ask money for it, I can share them/give them away.

Is it alright to double post if there's been so much time between posts?

Anyway, now I've heard catbug was received by Martha I thought I'd post the pics I made of him.

I've had a request from my sister in law who wants one too. So it's a good thing I'm writing down as I go, now I can replicate it easily. I want to start a blog for my own creations and for designs I can sell, make an etsy shop or something.

Martha should totally post pics of her paper animals, the squid she made for me is awesome!

I can vouch for the fact that catbug is wonderful! Rij is my new favourite person :p unfortunately I don't have any good pictures of my things. Phone camera and bad photography skills see to that.

Thank you Rij!
