The Lion

My niece, Alondra needs some attention too, with all the goings-on with Mateo. She also just broke her arm (hairline fracture, not even a cast, but still broken). Before she broke her arm, I made her a lion. I thought about using one of the lion patterns to make a big lion, but then decided to make a small one, since I'm going to make a doll for her birthday (like Tori's but with Alondra's coloring) - shhh! It's a surprise. So for lack of a pattern, I just winged it and came up with this:



There are more pictures of everything on my flickr account.

I'm now working on a doll for my niece Madison (shh!) and have finished the legs, body and most of the head (I may add more hair, and the mouth needs doing. I hate doing mouths.) No pics of it yet, but soon.

The Bunny

My nephew Mateo has recently been diagnosed with leukemia, so I decided to make him a bunny. Less to make him feel better (he was showered with gifts from everyone) but more to make me feel better. Like I was doing something. (Anyhow, I think he liked the Orca I got him a whole lot more - he named it "Lovey"!)

Anyhow, here's the nice little bunny I made:

Doll for Tori

My niece Tori turned 5 in May. For her birthday I made her a doll, made to look somewhat like her. The pattern is from the Amigurumi Doll Pattern by Soph Viklund. (Beautiful pattern!!)

The real Tori:


And her doll:

Sun Hat

I made a hat to wear on my walks at work. I used the Fast & Easy crocheted summer hat with brim pattern and some Red Heart yarn my friend Karen gave me.

Update? Yes, Update!

It's a slow day at work, so I figure I'll sneak in some updates... I've finished a few projects, so I'll post with pictures here.

Hooray!
