Thanks Hart44.

Wow, thats alot of squares. how many do you need?

artydoll - that bags brilliant.

Greenpixey - got a question for you. How would you put glasses on a little amigurumi man? I did think pipecleaners but the only ones i have are sparkly.

I have decided that tonight i will have a go at my dads birthday present. I am going to do him a bookmark of him!!! I have grey wool for his hair!! :P Not sure what to do about glasses for him. That is plan A. But you know me, i am easily distracted by cute little amigurumi animals!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

Thanks for all your compliments,
The Moog ,I,m 62 ,been crochetting ,sewing and knitting as long as i can remember.
my mother sadly died when I was only 9 years old,but still passed on her love of making things,well everyone made do and mended in those days.
She used to be a milliner and made felt bonnets when I was little ,adorned with love;y intricate flowers.:):)
I can remember rolling up large balls of material strips for her to make rag rugs.,we had them in every bedroom except hers ,she had a rug made from rabbit fur which she stretched and cured herself. on a frame in the greenhouse. :rotfl::rotfl:
My dad kept rabbits at the bottom of our garden for the table.
I really wish I had known her longer so I could share my love of crafting with her.
Keep working at it you will be like me soon,:T:T:T:Tan old woman with lots of time to spare and who cant stop making stuff.

Thanks for the welcome.
Arty Doll I love your bag...I am halfway up the sides of mine.
Are any of you talented ladies sending a "knitted Character" off to the competion on Harry Hills TV burp? It did make me smile when I saw it Saturday night.
BTW Artydoll are you going to line your bag? I think mine will need it but I dont really know how to do it.

I did one of them bags, got a tad carried away, ended up looking like a suitcase and being pretty useless really, but on the upside, I decided to make a doggy sweater for my sister's chihuahua last weekend, she loved it, but alas it was also a tad on the large side lol.

Can anyone help me please?

I want to either crochet or get my mum to knit two ballerina style rag dolls for my 2 flower girls at my wedding. I’ve googled Rag doll crochet pattern but to no avail. Might try ebay tonite. I'm fussy and want the doll to be pretty and princess like.

Any ideas where I might find a nice one? Thanks! xx

Greenpixey - whats your latest creation?

I got an order on to make a girly bunny for a customer. It looks a bit funny at the minute due to the lack of arms, but I'm crocheting them now this lunchtime so it should be ready tonight.

I got some craft metal thread in a gold colour that I've used in the past for glasses and other decorative objects, but pipecleaners should do the trick too
