Amigurumi Drumstick

I made this DRUMSTICK chew-toy for Corrie (Marcus & Chris' beagle). I thought this rope may be tough enough to last but Sheerah told me this may last only 1-2 hrs. Well, I will take this as a learning practice as this is the first pattern I created as I worked on it.

So here is the result.





Hope to post up pics of the 'after'......when the DRUMSTICK is done with :)

Haha...the drumstick is still in one good piece.  Looks like it will last for some time.

SUNFLOWER

After the 5-petal-flower to add glamour to the bag which I made, I got interested in big flowers and got to find another pattern which I crocheted with different texture and shades of ropes. This is the result. Click here for the free pattern.







I am having one problem with this flower as the petals keep curling up. I have to think of a way to make them stay down. It is not the pattern problem but the nature of the material used. I have yet to put this flower into good use....will update here when that happens :)

Here's the update.....
Here is how the flower petals curled up.



I decided to decorate a small rottan basket of mine and I think it looks fine on it :) I used a fish line to stitch the petals onto the basket to make them stay flat.





That's how it looks on my small basket :)

5 PETAL FLOWER

I made this bag from 'jean' frabric. It is of a stiff texture and then I give it a soak and wash 'cause I find my hands stained black after working on it. I broke a needle while sewing the top hem. And I found this big beautiful stuffed flower pattern online. The best thing is it is generously free. Thanks to Craft Passion. It is called 5-petal flower. I tried it out and it is really lovely. You can click here for the pattern sheet (pdf file)

Here is the result.


Before................................After


I made a small flower (2inch) to attached to the zipper.


This 5-petal flower is a stuffed flower and measures 5 inches across.


Close up of the beads stitched onto the flower to add glamour to it.


A brooch pin is attached to the back so it is a detachable flower.
This is a surprise gift for a friend overseas :)
