Lariath- Live a Little.

I made a Mini Crochet Acorn  for Autumn to wear as a badge at work. It's holiday season soon so a change of badge is necessary. Here is my new mini stocking badge it's approx. 1 inch x 1 inch.

Totoro seems very popular among my friends at the moment, I have now made a total of 4 of them. It's a good job I love Totoro! A friend at work asked for a smaller version of my 23cm tall  Totoro , but not quite as tiny as Chibi Totoro . This Totoro is 12cm tall and very adorable: Bum!  The pattern I used was really made for Chu Totoro (the medium blue one) but I think it works well. Find the pattern here click click . Hopefully my friend will like him.  For other Ghibli posts select  Here . Hook off!  Enjoy this post?

I had a very unplanned trip 'home' to my parents town this weekend. I was very unprepared to be visiting family and I wanted to give them a little something. Luckily, being a crochetaholic, I took two of my current small crochet projects with me. Using the yarn I brought I decided to whip up something small and quick for my two grandma's. I spent a nice couple of hours of my morning crocheting two little dasies. I nearly forgot to take a picture, here is a quick snap I managed just before giving it away. The pattern can be found here  Click Click  the pattern takes a little bit of interpretation. I suggest reading it through first unlike me - mistakes were made, frogging ensued.  Hook off.  Enjoy this post?

My friend at work has been having a hard time. I recently found out she likes elephants so I had a gander online to find a tiny crochet elephant that I could whip up quickly as a cheer-me-up gift. I didn't expect the little chap to turn out so unbelievably adorable, I honesty struggled giving him up. I placed the little guy in her lab coat pocket as a cheeky little surprise. She loves him and he is now named Henry. I miss you Henry!  The amazing pattern can be found here  click click . Hook Off!  Enjoy this post?

I have been really struggling to find the time to blog since I started uni again whilst simultaniously working fulltime. It is really difficult to find time to do anything else. My crafting has taken a really big hit, which is very depressing. But here is something I made a while ago now that I have a quiet moment to blog :). After seeing my Ghibli based crafts someone requested for me to make Kaonashi (No-face). I figured it can't be that difficult. It's pretty much just a skittle shape with a face attached (ironically). The body, as I thought, was very easy and simple to make. The face, however, was difficult for me. I have never in my life done any embroidery. -Insert my repeated annoyance at sewing-. I really struggled getting the features right and I had to find something I could follow/copy. Then BAM  Here's one that someone made earlier . This pattern is amazing, it has a mouth! Shame I didn't see this before I made No-Face's body. So No-Face's...
