Dugong preparations

My newest project is a 'Dugong pretending to be a shark'. I have so far created two dugongs and am working on the fins to go on top!



I am writing up this one as a pattern as I go, he should be a quick, fun knit. I will probably add it to Etsy when it is done ^.^ Perhaps I will also have a go at selling the blue dugong also, once I have got over my fear of postage!

Macrame cake container handle

My grandma likes making cakes for her friends and family and enjoys carrying them around the their houses in a container like this (but less pink) :p



This week the handle on her container broke & mum suggested I have a go at making one out of macramé cord. This was a great opportunity to try out the interesting things I had been reading on This Year's Dozen. This is how it turned out:

My first Etsy item

Have finally got myself around to creating a pattern to sell on Etsy. Very excited, and even if it doesn't get sold, it was fun to create a permanent pattern for my creation Fuzzy Hippo on Etsy (Pixelated Mushroom)

Pattern can be purchased from the patterns page

Happy Juggler - Eaton Fudge

This little guy was created for my friend’s birthday. The design was based on his performance character ‘Eaton Fudge’. He is about 15cm tall as far as I can remember.



He was quite fun to create because I had to make him in such a short space of time. His jacket failed the first time, ending up too bulky, but then I re-did it and it worked out quite nicely.



My favourite part to do was the hat. I wish I had kept a record of the pattern for this one :)
