Badtz Maru Plushie


Well I kinda did this guy on a lark.  I've been sort of feeling under the weather and resting alot this week, and decided to work on a smaller project that was just 'fun'.   So on the suggestion of a friend of mine, I made Badtz Maru.   
I didn't want to make him just 'sitting there'  and seeing that he's got such a cute and playful attitude - and he's well known for making faces,  I decided to

Lugia Plushie




Ok y'all.  Here he is.  Lugia.
I'm sorry that my pics are always crummy,  but hey,  I'm not a photographer  LOL and I'm stuck with really old cameras that don't work unless they feel like it.
This doll ain't for the faint of heart.   It's better suited to experienced crocheters with a few serious dolls under their belts!   
He's larger than all the other pokemon I've made in the past and a

Snorlax Plushie


Well,  after many requests,  I finally made Snorlax.  (I know he's not blue,  but in my fire-red game he's a deep olive green, and I didn't have the right blue for him  LOL).  You of course,  can make him any color you like  :D

I posted only this one picture of him,  because frankly,  that's pretty much everything there is.  The pattern is pretty straightforward,  with maybe a little fancy

Charmander Plushie

Ok,  well.  After many requests I finally managed to get around to making a Charmander.  I know the pictures are terrible,  but hey  I'm not a photographer and neither my camera OR the weather are cooperating at the moment.    So it's inside photos for now y'all...  I'll try to get some other pics soon.

This pattern has two different 'versions'.   The one you see in the pictures,  with the open

Umbreon Plushie














 

 

Well,  after many *many* requests,  I finally did an Umbreon.  I know this will bring about an onslaught of requests for the other 'Eevee-lutions'  and yes I'll get to them all...  eventually :D    It just depends on my yarn stash,  my time and well --- motivation.  LOL



As with all the patterns,  if you have any problems or if you notice anything wrong in the pattern  (I'm

Chikorita Plushie


Well after many requests (and finally getting the yarn I needed) Chikorita has arrived.  LOL
The top picture shows the  colors closer to what they actually are,  the other two pictures for some reason turned out a bit on the 'bluish' side,  but hopefully will still at least give you an idea of how the doll is put together.  I'm really a much better designer than a photographer.  :D

Wooper Plushie


Wooper is made by request.  Funny how none of my girls ever mentioned wooper at all ...  but as soon as he was done,  the girls were in love and he went to live on my 16 year old daughter's shelf with so many of the other pokemon I've made  LOL 
If you find any problems in the pattern, or just have a question feel free to post here or send me an email.  I'll get back to you on it ASAP.

Mijumaru Pokemon Plush

(Edit 2/12/11  -  I do know that the English name for this pokemon is Oshawott,  but at the time the doll was made,  they had not published any of the starters' names in English.  I can't change the title because that's also part of the URL,  so the page has to stay as is  :) - Linda)

Ok,  this one has been fun.  Most of you Pokemon fans are very familiar with the new games being released

DS Game Carrying Case


This is a DS carrying case I made in a couple of hours one afternoon when I really needed something to carry my DS around in,  with the games.   I'll get some better pictures,  especially of the sides to make it easier for you to see how it's put together... but right now my camera is out of town with my oldest daughter,  so it'll be a few days.

Anyway,  I'm including the 'pattern'  which is

Cyndaquil Plushie


I finally decided to make a Cyndaquil.  It's my starter pokemon in HeartGold, and I really do love it :D

The flames on the back are made a little differently,  but it's not hard to do.  If you have any questions or find any problems with the pattern,  please let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Nested Pineapple Shawl

Mother's Day having just passed by,  I made my my Mom a really nice shawl as a gift.  She *loved* it :D.  I've written out the pattern and posted it on my Etsy Shop if anyone would like to take a shot at making one.  It's definitely a piece for more experienced crocheters, but it is TRULY worth the work! 


It's modeled in the pictures by one of my girls,  I couldn't get Momma to let me get a

Aipom Plushie


I finally got around to making Aipom.  I apologize for the lighting in the pictures,  I'll try to get some better pictures for ya when time allows  :D   We were kind of in a hurry, and I was also weeding and watering the vegetable garden before it got dark...  Hopefully these are enough to help you with the pattern.



The pattern hasn't been tested by anyone but me,  so if you find any mistakes

Bayleef Plushie


Having recently acquired my much cherished copy of HeartGold,  and my starter pokemon being Chikorita (altho my strongest pokemon is still my Ampharos),  I decided to make Bayleef.   Bayleef is my favorite of the evolutions and I just *had* to have one. :)

The colors for some reason aren't showing up properly in these photos, the leaves are a nice sage green,  but in the outdoor lighting they

High Tea Crochet Throw Blanket

I recently took a little break from dolls to make a few blankets.  The first of these is 'High Tea'. 

I started out wanting to make a nice throw blanket for my youngest daughter,  she needed a new one for her bed.  I couldn't find a pattern I really liked,  so as I usually do,  I set out to create one. :D

The pattern is currently available at my Etsy Shop and also at my Ravelry Store.

Tails Plushie


 



I guess I couldn't make sonic without Tails to travel with him.   I have to say that even though the pattern seems complex when you're reading the instructions,  it's really not that difficult once you get going.



I've been extremely busy recently,  and it's likely I won't be working on any dolls for a couple of weeks.   Spring has sprung  (well at least here in Texas)  and I have my

Sonic Plushie


 



This is the latest of the plushies I've been working on.  Sonic came out better than I had thought it would at first,  and for *once* I'm really kinda pleased with how his face came out.  I'm really not very good at the faces, but I think Sonic's turned out pretty spiffy for a change :D



I've tried to include pictures that will help you as you're putting him together,  the hair/spikes

Eevee Plush

 
I finally decided to tackle Eevee.  The pictures I'm afraid don't do the doll justice at all.   She's really much cuter than the pictures show.  LOL 
Eevee can be a tough one mostly because she's all shades of brown.  The 'collar' is worked a little different,  but it's basic and simple, and allows you alot of room to 'arrange' it however you like.
If I have one great weakness, it's doing the

Teddy Bear

Here's another new pattern that is going in the Etsy shop and Ravelry downloads.  My Teddy Bears.


I'm pretty pleased with the design of these guys,  and the 'decorations' you see on the bears here are just suggestions,  you can do anything you like for your bears,  any color,  any decorations... make every bear a little different :)

They are about 10 inches tall, depending on all the normal

Kangaroo

I have another new pattern on Etsy  (and at Ravelry downloads as well).  This is a nice little kangaroo.  Well,  she's not very 'little' really,  she's 18 inches tall.

If you'd like to get the pattern,  the Etsy link is HERE.   For those of you that are members of Ravelry and prefer the download options there,  the link to the pattern is HERE.

New Etsy Pattern

Just a short note to let you know I have a new pattern up at my ETSY shop.

Cowboy and Indian Chubbies.  The chubbies are fun and easy to make, and these two just kinda screamed at me to get made. :D

Horsea Plushie

The newest addition to the pokemon plushies is Horsea. This little guy was surprisingly difficult to figure out the head/body size ratio,  and I'm not entirely certain I got it just right,  but it's close enough that my girls think he's awesome  LOL





I  know my pictures here aren't the best,  but the weather outside is frightful ... and I waited four days to get better weather to get some
