I received a Woolbuddy Succulant Felting kit for Christmas and started working on it right away. With all the photo inspiration by this company, I ended up creating these two buddies and planted them together. I think they could be considered Venus flytraps or perhaps a pair of signing monsters. I don’t really know but I think they turned out cute.

For those who don’t know about felting, it starts with a fluff of wool. Then using a specialized needle that has barbs on it, the fluff gets poked and stabbed until it because knotted together and intertwined to create firm shapes. I love these little kits because it has everything you need to do the project. This company has such a variety of projects and a quirky stile – check out Woolbuddy on Amazon.

I received the most adorable fairy doll crochet book for Christmas and dived right in to create a little Red Riding Hood characters and a reversible wolf. The book is Reversible Amigurumi: Crochet Magical Fairies and Tales by Febby Pranajaya (Chibiscraft) and the patterns are easy enough to follow. I changed the pattern a little by following the head and hair pattern from Cinderella so I could take the hood on and off.

I’m still enjoyed the Edward’s Crochet Imaginarium book by Kerry Lord. Because of the flip pages, I can imagine all sorts of combinations of heads, arms and legs.

This sad little guy was started 3 years ago and has been shoved in the back corner until recently. Then I decided to finish him by adding arms and legs. Now he’s finished and can go to someone who can give him lots of loves!

Here’s another butterfly I made from the book lalylala’s Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies: A Crochet Story of Tiny Creatures and Big Dreams. This one has also been claimed (even before I finished it) by a different minion in the house. So I decided she could help me pick out the rest of the colors for the body and hat. I’ve already resorted to my third one being dibbed but it’s nice to know that the kids are enjoying them. That’s what makes them fun to make, after all. Plus they can interchange the hats and wings if they decide to mix and match.

I’m making some butterflies from the book lalylala’s Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies: A Crochet Story of Tiny Creatures and Big Dreams. This is my first one and it was “claimed” as soon as I finished it. I think she had her eye on it the whole time but didn’t say anything until I put the tools down. LOL But I’m happy to pass it along to new owner and know this little bug will be getting some loves.

Here are some of my latest crochet patterns that I’ve been working on. They were all from Amigurumi Today – Raspberry Bear, Blackberry Bear and Pineapple Panda. I made a few alterations including a cat instead of a panda and a few things on the clothing to make it fit better. There’s not much else to say but here are a bunch of picture. Enjoy!
