Basic Stars

Click on picture to see larger view for better details.  (Yes, I know there is cat hair in the larger star...LOL.  Such is the life with cats).

I've not added a new pattern here for a while....and even though it's because I've been busy (holiday crafting,  household stuff, business stuff, etc)  I kinda felt guilty for not at least adding *something* for y'all to make use of for the holidays!

Rico-POM

Well,  finally!  I got Rico done.  I know it took forever,  but I live in central Texas and with all the horrible heat we were having I found it very difficult to get motivated to pick up hook and yarn.   But that said,  here he is.

As always,  if you find any problems in the pattern or just have a question,  post it here or email me (or you can always find me on my FaceBook Page )

Just a Note...

I've started up a sister blog to this one,  with HINTS, TIPS and TRICKS for making crochet dolls and other general helpful information for crocheters. The name of the blog is OTH-HELP and I've just added the first of many TOPIC PAGES.

The first page is about 'stuffing' your work.   It's by NO means finished,  and if you have a question regarding any of the pages that isn't answered there,  email

Kowalski-POM

Ok,  here's the Kowalski doll...  I'm sorry that I only have this one photo,  but for some reason,  all the others came out terribly blurred - and the winds were giving us fits and he wouldn't stay upright LOL.  I'll try and get some more (and better) pics soon.  His feet are oddly positioned in this one,  but it's the only way we could get him to stand up in the winds  :D

For the most part,  

Private-POM

Ok,  second in the group is Private.  Cute, naive,  and the youngest of the team...  he keeps them all grounded.   He loves his 'Lunacorn' doll...even if the others kid him about it.

As always,  if you find any problems in the pattern... or just get confused,  let me know - I'll get back at ya ASAP :D


MATERIALS:
WW yarn in black and white,  with a small amount of orange/yellow for beak and

Skipper

Cute and Cuddly Boys!
Ok.  I am a HUGE Penguins of Madagascar fan.  These guys I'm doing for me mostly...  I actually purchased the yarn to make all four of them.  This is of course only Skipper,  but the other three will be following in the next couple of weeks.   (Give me at least a week between, maybe more ...  I can't work too much or I'll blow out my wrists again and I don't want to do that

Azumarill

I made this doll right now for several reasons.  First off,  it's coming up to Easter,  and what more perfect of a pokemon for the Easter Baskets?  Part Easter Egg,  part Bunny --  and in it's shiny form,  it's a Yellow-Gold color - so both forms are perfect.   Won't he be adorable nestled down in that obnoxious fake grass snuggled up next to the Jelly-Bellies and the little yellow marshmallow

TMNT Michaelangelo

Ok,  well I don't guess this guy needs any real explanation or introduction.   Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just recently celebrated their '27th' anniversary as some of the most beloved and well-known characters in our world.   I had intentions of making this doll a few years ago,  but just kept putting it off for one reason or another....and finally just had to do it.

Those of you who are

Spheal the Love

Finally!    I know  -  it's been forever.

This guy is smaller than most of the pokemon dolls I've made.  I really had very little of the blue yarn left,  and I was wanting a small and easy project to 'test' my wrist out before diving head-first into crocheting again.  I think I'll be ok if I take it easy and don't try to do too much at once,  at least so far.

This particular doll will be well
