Happy New Year 2011, with a few totoro

I finished up a few little totoros for my brother to give to his friends and featured in the background is the first bigger, blue totoro I ever made. There is something very satisfying about making a cute object that you can hold in your hands.

This past holiday season has been rather crazy with all the knitted and crocheted items I was churning out faster than you can take a proper picture of. :( My new year's resolution is to work on maintaining a proper blog and etsy account!....once I am settled in school and have my applications finished and turned in. They are nearly there!!!

This year I have also agreed to work with my aunt a little and come December (I know it's really early to say this...) we will participate in a crafts show. There we will have a booth to show our stuff. I don't know if I'm expecting much but it is a start. I'm no entrepreneur but I can't keep all the dolls I make so it may not be a bad idea to try selling a few right.

Let's hope for a great year and a proper blog with some nice items.

More Little Friends

This is a creature and that is all I know. It looks like it's something along the lines of a bunny and a bear. You decide! :) It is a cute creature so that is good enough for me.

As I haven't posted in a while I will put up a few pictures I have just had on hold. Unfortunately, I have a bit of a problem uploading pictures in a timely manner. Also, as I'm sure any crocheter/knitter knows, it's HARD to keep a finished project around long enough to take a picture of. Lol. My bro especially likes to take them and give them away. Flattering but I really wanted those pictures! 

       Anyway, no more ranting for now...

 The quality of this picture is not so good but maybe you can see the unfinished string against the white. I found this pattern on Lion Brand Yarn called Peas in a Pod and I suggest you give it a shot, too. Mine didn't turn out like the Lion Brand one but it was relatively cute. I made it for my cousin's wedding as a last minute gift idea so it could have been better(eep). I'm now working on a totorobig totoro and little totoro family for my other cousins so I hope they like those better... 

Small white totoro

This guy turned out a little chubby.

 So there are more on the way!! I'm always making a bunch but they just disappear so fast. >.<
