Meet Lava the Lion!

Hey There!

After finishing crocheting Lilac the Bear, I decided to make another friend for all of my crocheted critters: meet Lava the lion! ❤ Lava measures about 7 ½” tall, making him an adorable fun-sized friend. I used the baby lion pattern in The Big Book of Little Amigurumi by Ana Paula Rímoli. I had a lot of fun with this pattern, especially making Lava’s wavy mane! I’m so happy with how Lava turned out, and can’t wait to introduce him to Morton, Olivia, Carrots, Lilac, Bobbles, and Rainbow! 😀

Meet Lilac the Bear!

Hey there!

While watching Calico Star Studio crochet tons of new projects, I decided to pull out my own crochet and make a new little friend! It is my pleasure to introduce Lilac the bear! ❤ 

I used the pattern for Valentine Bears on pages 10-12 of The Big Book of Little Amigurumi by Ana Paula Rímoli. I found this pattern super cute and easy! I had lots of fun making Lilac and adding the special little touches like her soft green skirt, shiny black eyes, and silky bows. I am super pleased with how she came out, and can’t wait to introduce her to Carrots, Morton, Olivia, Rainbow, and Bobbles! 😉 Welcome, Lilac!

Meet Olivia!

Hey There!

I’ve been enjoying crocheting lots of cute Amigurumi (small stuffed animals). I’ve made Carrots and Morton, and now would like to introduce Olivia the Owl!

I used the pattern on pages 31-32 of The Big Book of Little Amigurumi by Ana Paula Rímoli. Olivia’s approximate height is about 6″. I love Olivia and am very pleased with how she turned out! I love her sweet face and had lots of fun in the process of making her. 😉

Meet Morton!

Hello There!

I had so much fun crocheting Carrots, I wanted to make a friend for her. So, without further ado, meet Morton the Octopus!

I am so happy with how Morton turned out! I love his little smile and all his squishy legs. ❤

I used the adult Octopus pattern from a book called The Big Book of Little Amigurumi, by Ana Paula Rímoli on pages 41-42. Morton’s finished height is about 4 1/2″ tall. 🙂 I had so much fun crocheting him and am glad I have a new friend! 😀

Puppies

Hey There!

I love my puppies. They are super soft and cuddly, and help me feel better when I’m upset. Both Willie and Effie have such different personalities, it’s fun to watch them play together! I wanted to share some photos of my sweet friends! 🙂

Trick-Or-Treat!

Hey There!

I just realized I never published a Halloween Post! 😉 I just didn’t get around to it… until now.

I went Trick-Or-Treating with PearlyPinkRoses, plus a couple of other friends as well. I had lots of fun (and candy)! 😀 We did a joint costume: Molly dressed up as Lilo, and I dressed up as Stitch! 😉 It was awesome!

Here we are together:

Willie the Mousketeer

Several years ago, my family and I went to Disney World. I had gotten a mini Mickey Mouse ear hat, and it went missing for a while. Recently, I found it, and realized it is the perfect size for my dogs!

I put the hat on Willie, and he did NOT like it at all… but he looked super cute! ❤

Jet

Hello!

For about a month, a stray cat has been coming to our house. He is adorable! We have been feeding him every day, and he used to be very scrawny, but now he is a healthy and fed cat. We named him Mr. Jet Magoo! 😛 Our inside Manx Cat, Minerva Nubbins, does NOT like Jet at all… she always swats at the glass door whenever he comes around to eat! He started to come over and rub himself against the glass, not at all affected by Minerva’s hissing and scratching at the door. Last night, I opened the door and stuck my hand out, and he touched his nose to my fingers! I’ve never come in contact with him before, and he is so cute! ❤

Here are some photos of Jet Magoo:

Meet My Puppies!

 

Hey there! 😛

Today I realized I haven’t posted anything about my adorable dogs! They are Mini Dachshunds — hot dogs — and love cuddling on laps and sleeping. They are also very energetic! 😛

The night before we left on a camping trip, we realized it was going to be very cold, and the puppies didn’t have sweaters! It was too late to go buy some, so we found an old sweatshirt and an old pair of sweatpants (kid’s sizes) and made little sweatshirts for them! If you want to know how I made them, just contact me.

This is Effie. She is ten years old, and has a lot of white on her face. She loves cuddling, and will disappear for most of the day just to sleep! 😉 She loves her blankets very much: whenever we take them away to wash them, she follows us around whining to tell us what she wants! 😀 Effie loves our puppy Willie very much and gets stressed out if she’s not with him. ❤

 

 

This is Willie. He is about six months old. He loves playing outside and has LOTS of energy! 🙂 Willie also loves chewing on sticks, and if you try to take one away from him, he will run away at top speed: making it very difficult to catch him! 😀 He is so energetic it is sometimes difficult to catch clear photos of him! He loves Effie very much, and likes to wrestle with her. ❤

Here are a few photos of Willie chewing a plant! 😛 He can be very goofy at times.

I love my dogs, and am so happy to have them! ❤

Frog

Hey there!

A couple months ago, I got called outside to see a frog — but I couldn’t find it anywhere! It was camouflaged so well I didn’t see it at all. See if you can find the frog! (The answer is at the bottom of the post)

I never used to like frogs, but now I think they’re actually quite cute! ❤ I am a MAJOR animal lover, so finding new and different animals than usual is fun!
