My Creative Space


Here I am again playing with toys!  OK, making them first!  But gee, Mrs Fox is pretty cute I think.  I decided the boys aren't getting this one.  This one is mine.  They can play with it but it's mine.  I will share with them.  Major lessons in sharing this will be!  I started Foxy the other day & have worked on it in bits & pieces, over the last few days.  I actually wanted it done last night but had to stop & get to bed.  So this morning I have done it's tail!  Yep, 7am crochet!  Lovely quiet time.  When the boys are up it will be crazy once more & things like this don't quite get the focus they need to mistakes occur in counting!  It is very important to do a lot of counting in amigurumi work.  Other wise they turn out funny shapes!  Yes I know this to be true.  No point doing a pattern if you aren't going to do the pattern!  Mostly I say patterns are just suggestions.  But if there is a particular shaped toy you are after it pays to follow the pattern!  lol  
Mrs Fox is out of the Amigurumi Toy Box book that I still have from the library.  Thank goodness I have it over Easter.  Not finished with it yet.  Mrs Fox does have a scarf on in the book but I don't know if I want to dress her yet.  Baby Fox has a jumper on & I don't know if I will do that if I do baby fox at all.   We'll see how much time I get before I have to give the book back.  Boohooo...  

Thanks for visiting me today & don't forget to visit other creative spaces

Mrs Fox is adorable. I am very partial to scarves - she has to have one!

Very cute. I've just finished my first amigurumi animal - a dinosaur.
