I made this in June. Never believed I would make a giant toy as the size have never been a goal for me. The idea of making something that big isn`t mine. It`s an order from another Estonian home and craft magazine and the pattern will be published in the near months. I have already […]
I am going to share with you a small tip that has helped me to avoid floppy head, something I´ve discovered during the years I`ve worked on my amigurumi designs. I hope you find it useful too. I´ve been using it for a long time and it works great for me. So here it comes.
I will have to start with saying that after the TV clip my Chatterbox the Clown became unexpectedly popular. Many people saw him there in the swinger and asked if there is a pattern written of him. Also there was a lady who contacted me a few days after the broadcast and said she wants […]
With this post I will go back in time and talk about the Magic Trees created about three years ago. Amigurumi can be something much more then making toys. In this style you can create lovely home decorations as well. Although I am devoted more on toys and dolls, I have tried some decorative […]
I have some good news about Felix the Frog pattern. This week it was published in Estonian magazine Naisteleht. As you can see I got a pretty picture of it with my son Paul. The photo was taken by Annika Metsla, the same lady who photographed my entire book recently. But there is another good […]
So, finally I wrote a pattern of this teddy bear. Yes, it`s finished and available in the shop. It is a fantastic toy because whenever I make it, it makes me happy! That`s the power of the teddy bear :)
I had some fun with my Funny Bunny pattern and modified it into a little teddy bear and cat. I love the pattern because of it`s simplicity. I´m quite sure it`s one of the best patterns to start with when you`ve never tried making amigurumi animals before. But for those who have it`s still a fun basic […]
These tiny elephant key holders were made to order. I always feel a bit afraid when people order something I´ve never done before. I´m simply not sure if I can fulfill their expectations. At the same time it`s so exciting. And there`s always the possibility to surprise myself and the customer, because neither of us […]
And it`s finally finished – my first book. I received it just yesterday. After working on it for the last year and a half it felt so good to hold it in my hands! The book was ordered by one of the most popular local publishers. I had the chance to work with professional and […]
Chameleon was an order from my local kids furniture company Muruum. They have chosen chameleon to be their mascot toy. Reptiles are not my strongest side I believe, but it`s always interesting to try new things. I have made a lizard for my son as his special request and he truly loves this. That encouraged […]
The story of this clown begins with my typical words “I had planned this toy for a long time, but never found time for it…”. But it`s so true! However, there is one other thing – I didn`t have the complete vision of how my clown should look like. That holded me back for a […]
