Melvin


This is Melvin the Sock Monkey I made last night, he's made with genuine Rockford Red Heel Socks to give him a red mouth and a cheeky red bum too

Day of the Tentacle


These were one of the first things I made when I learned to crochet. Based on the game Day of the Tentacle by Tim Schafer.
"To save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs."

Katamari Damacy


One of my favourite games ever is Katamari Damacy, so I decided to make my own Prince of the Cosmos. He's missing an antenna at the mo but I will put one on him very soon. Incase you haven't played it before here is what the Prince looks like:


The creator of this game Keita Takahashi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keita_Takahashi) is a knitter too and he often knits some of his characters, which makes me like him even more. I was so happy when I found this out.

Russian Dolls


I made these Russian dolls for our tree from sewing together some felt I cut from a basic template I made from cardboard. Unfortunately I didn't have the patience to sew the detail on the faces, so I drew the mouths and eyes on with a pen, simple but effective

Crochet Christmas















These are some Christmas decorations I crocheted for our tree. There's a snow man, a father Christmas, a mini tree and a robin. I wanted to do a Christmas fairy too but couldn't work out how to do the hair, maybe next year
