Finished

I finished all three of the amigurumi Christmas dolls I started making Saturday. I'm super proud of them. I think they look awesome. My favorite is Rudolph the reindeer.

The Santa is a little more tan than I intended, but my story is that he vacations in Boca during the off-season.

For having done them all without any patterns, I'm extra pleased with the way they turned out. I think I'll make a Rudolph for my friend's mom. I know I should make one for my mom, but I'm not sure which one just yet.

PS I've also put up pics of the diaper bag I made my friend this summer. It had lining and everything!

Amigurumi

I've started making amigurumi. I got obsessed with the craft about 2 weeks ago. I'm making some dolls for a few of my graduating seniors in the Anthropology Society.

I've basically been looking at pictures and just coming up with something. I'm more free form. I like having patterns, but somehow I just don't perform as well when I use a pattern.

My next projects will be an English bulldog and a hippo for my roommate's girlfriend. I feel like the bulldog will be the most difficult one.

Wish me luck!
