Koala from Edward's Menagerie Book.

I always in love with Edward's Menagerie book. Today, I want to share with you

the koala that I made.

 

 

 

 

Once we understand the basics of how to make the body and legs, it is easy to

follow the creation of the other animals. The book has many pictures, good

explanations, I just like it.

I think it is an excellent book for those who want to learn how to do

amigurumis.

 

So far I have made these three, hope you like them and give you inspiration.

 

I bought the book at Amazon, below you will find the links( is my store, is an

affiliate link), through my link, you will be able to see pictures of the

different animals that we can create, and you can decide whether  you have

interest in the book or not.

 Is available also a Kindle version of the book, is a matter of preference, I

like to have a book in my hands.

of the sale at not additional cost to you.

After a year, I'm here again with you...

Hello friends, it has been almost a year that I've been forced to set aside this beautiful virtual world due to health reasons.

Last year, I was diagnosed with cancer. Luckily after an operation, some exams and biopsies I'm in remission.
On the other hand, I'm taking care of my dear parents. My mother ( 94 years young!!!) was diagnosed with Alzheimer and has lost autonomy. My father ( almost 94 years young!!!) also has health issues. They both live with me and taking care of them takes several hours of my day.

For these reasons, I had to set aside my sewing machine and started to crochet. It's now a hobby and a new passion that allows me to be creative and to be close to my parents whenever they need me.

I want to thank my friends on blogger that although they didn't know the reason of my absence, they still encouraged me by giving a like on my posts on Facebook and Instagram .
I want to thank Maria from Mia's creations and Pam from Threading my way for your support! I have know them for many years on blogger and for me you are my  precious  bloggy friends!

The next posts will be about crochet. I discovered many designers and have made some creations that I will share with you in the upcoming weeks.

See you soon.



 

 

Have a nice and creative day!!!

Que lindo poder compartir con ustedes este patrón, me encanto hacerla.

Easy Cosmetic Bag.

 

I could not resist the temptation to make this cosmetic bag again, I was looking for an idea for a gift for my cousin's birthday, when I remembered this beautiful

pattern. It is absolutely easy to do. I used Deby's tutorial, from the blog So Sew Easy, she did also a great video, here is the link.

If it is your first visit to Deby's blog, prepare a cup of the, or coffee and get ready to spend some time enjoying the projects and tutorials that Deby gives us.

 

 

 

Returning to my cosmetic bag, what I did in my case  was use two fabrics to create the exterior pattern, sew them together and then cut the pattern. The important

thing is that the fabrics (exterior front and Back) are aligned exactly in the same position  before cutting the front and back pattern.
Then when  we have two identical outer fabrics, we must pay attention that are properly aligned before sewing them.

 

 

What I liked about this tutorial, is that we end with a cosmetic bag identical to the one she proposes to do. I added a flower to give a more feminine touch and you

know I love decorating with fabric flowers.

 

 

Something important, we can use this pattern to make bags to sell without restriction, no credit needed! Thank you Deby :)

 

 

Hopefully you have enjoyed this cosmetic bag and you dare to make one.
Have a happy sewing day.

Crochet bag.

 

Hi! I'm super happy to show you the bag that I've done. Here in Quebec we are

in spring, summer will be soon around here. My bag is ready for a walk with me.

It is not a free pattern, but as I told you, every so often I like to buy to

encourage designers to continue creating.

 

 

 

 

Please know that I have no affiliation with the shop, I'm just a satisfied

customer. The pattern comes in a Pdf with many pictures and excellent

explanations to create every detail of this bag, like flowers, leaves and all

the rest.

 



The only thing missing from this bag is a close, I added a button and did a

loop. The next bag that I will do, will have a zipper.

 

 

The link to the bag is here.

(You will find the pattern on the last page, number 5 )

Meanwhile I'm finishing some animals of the book I told you in the previous

post. I have so many projects in mind and in progress, I am always fighting with my number one

enemy ... time.

 

 

 

See you soon.

Marisa :)

Crochet animals.

I'm in love with these sweet  crochet animals... from Edward's Menagerie Book by Kerry Lord.

 

I already  made animals from free patterns, like elephants and owls, but on the other side I like to buy books, is an indirect way to allow artists to

continue creating.

 

What can I say....I'm in love with the book !!!!

 

 

 

It was the picture from the cover of this book that caught my attention, and since I has long wanted to crochet animals, when I found this book, I bought it instantly.

 

Inside this book you will find 40 crochet patterns  and you will need  less than one ball of yarn per animal. In the link that I provide you can look inside the book

and you will find 30 images from the book.

Each animal has a universal pattern, you can change your hook and yarn to create four different sizes, making 160 different possibilities.

 

 

 

Here is my beloved sheep.

 



 The yarn used to make the sheep was Charisme from  Loops & Threads, the colors I used  are; 

 #13 charcoal for the head and I used the color white for the legs and arms.
I made the  loops to decorate the body and head  with Patons, Big Bouclé, summit.

 

 

 

Here is my lovely lion.

 

 

This time I used Red Heart, Soft (worsted) wheat color for the whole body. The  head loops were made with Wool-Ease, Thick & Quick from  Lion Brand Yarns.

 



 

This book is divided into parts according to the degree of difficulty,  from beginners to advanced and the technique is well explained. It has excellent pictures

that  explains how to create each part of the animal and how to join each piece.

There is a chapter that gives us some tips to embroider the eyes, nose and mouth. I

started with the sheep and could not stop me, did the lion and now I'm doing a Koala and you know what? Now I want to  make them all !!!!!
 

 

 

 

I bought the book at Amazon, below you will find the links( is my store, is an affiliate link), through my link, you will be able to see pictures of the different animals that we can create, and you can decide whether  you have interest in the book or not.
Is available also a Kindle version of the book, is a matter of preference, I like to have a book in my hands.
