Bear in a Basket

My attempts at creating more amigurumi and other items, I have found a cute bear pattern that I gave to my friend's daughter. I also attempted to create a basket, but I need to find a tougher yarn to make the basket more sturdy.

Here, Aubrey is holding the little beat that is made of pure wool and filled with poly-fill. The bear in the basket below is the same. The basket is made of mercerized cotton in a gold color. Both items are crocheted.

Butterfly in the Grass

I wanted to try amigurumi and so I found a cute pattern online for this butterfly. So I created this cute crocheted butterfly with a lavender body and shinny multicolored wings. Here it is in the grassy background of my laptop desktop.

It is only about 5-6 inches high and is made with cotton yarn and thread and stuffed with poly-fill.

Happy Thanksgiving or Woof Toy

Last year I was inspired and found a pattern to create a small pumpkin. I even included a squeaky so that my two doggies will enjoy. The squeaky lasted about a month. Mia's goal in life is to chew on all the squeaky's of her toys, including those hand-made with love. The toy has survived without being flattened minus the filling, however.

Made of acrylic yarn and filled with poly-fill, this toy survives at the bottom of the doggies' toy bin. It is about 4 inches tall and round. Sometimes it is used for fetch.
