Little Sickel
This small bear was made as a replacement for a beloved toy that accompanies a little girl on her hospital visits. Little Sickel had been lost and so we had to replace him for the wee girl before she next had to go into hospital.
Orange Otter
This little guy was created using a painting that the customer had made for a friend. He is a gentle little creature I think.
Toby the Dog
I ran a competition on Mastodon for my followers, offering a free custom crochet toy and the lady who won it asked if I would make her a toy of her late Boston Terrier Toby. So Toby flew all the way to the USA and is now sitting happily next to his new owner in the same seat his namesake used to,
Ice Cream Elephants
These elephants are based on the mascot of a charity for children. The first one above and to the right was made for a little girl as a Christmas gift by a lady who supports the charity, and the second below and right was made as a gift for that lady, by another lady who is a friend of hers.
Giant Snail
This giant snail is a gift for a little girl who loves snails from Santa this year. I used the pattern by Crafty Intentions for this one as she had already created a wonderful design for it.
Teddy
This teddy was another replica make of an old toy. He was made using another very soft yarn and is a cuddly boy indeed.
Panda Logo
This panda was actually based on the logo of the company of gentleman for who it was made. The lady was giving it to him as an anniversary present so I made a red heart for him to hold as well.
Bright Eyed Bear
This bear was created from cartoon images. I made all of his clothes separately, so that they can be removed and washed if needs be.
Racoon
This sweet little chap was made from a photo of a child’s lost toy. He was crocheted in super soft teddy yarn and was a delight to work with as he was so soft and squishy 🙂
White Cat
This was a present for a lady who had lost her cat. Like Wellies the Duck, we recorded the cat’s voice onto a heart recorder which was placed in his chest. I spent a lot of time looking at the original photo and many internet images of cats to get the lying down posture just right.
Horace
This delightful little chap was a remake of a long lost childhood friend. I was extremely happy to send him back to his parents with his oversized dungarees and all.
Wellies the Duck
Wellies was created using photos of his real-life namesake. I used eyelash yarn and it was a challenge at first to work with, but easy enough to get the hang of. He has a pouch in his breast that holds a recording of the real duckling’s voice which you can hear if you press his breastbone.
Little Bright Eyed Bear
The customer who ordered the Bright Eyed Bear came back and requested a smaller version for a wee relative.
Crazy Mouse
This wacky chap was made for a friend in the States. He decided he was going to be a little bit on the crazy side 🙂
