Purple unicorn made after a drawing

The reality is that we don't know what color is an unicorn. Perhaps they are white. Or even purple.
I think purple (besides pink) is a very lovely color and the little girls like it very much.

A purple unicorn is unique

Here it is another unicorn. A purple unicorn. And a personalized one, because it is made after a girl's drawing. It was a difficult toy to make. It has lots of details, lots of colors. I sew all the little pieces by hands, one by one. 

I like how it turns out. I like the bows. And the rainbow from the tail.

Crochet cowl pattern

This is a project for beginners: a crochet cowl. I made it using one single Phil Flocon Phidar skein, blush color and  no 7 hook. You can finish it in one or two hours, depending on your skills. It can be a great gift for a mom, a grandmother, for your daughter and a nice Christmas present for a friend.

R1 - chain 25 stitches, turn

R2 - double crochet in the third stitch from the hook - this will be your first stitch, double crochet in every single stitch from the chain, ch 1, turn

R3 - R24 - double crochet in each stitch, ch 1, turn.

For finish it, just put together the both ends and make slip stitch. Try to crochet with very large stitches to make a fluffy and cozy cowl.

It will have a cozy crochet cowl in no time.

Happy crochet!

Made by Kids Custom Doll

Here it is the story of another custom doll. 

     

The kid's picture was one made with chalkboard on the ground. For this reason it was challenge to choose the right colors. I have to change the picture to obtain a clear one. 

Do you pay attention at details when you make a personalized item? I do. Yes, it is important. Every detail in the kid's picture must be in the right place.

This time it was difficult to make the face. I chosen to make the eyes with felt and to sew with black thread the eyes lashes. I wanted to sew the mouth too, but it looked strange. So I make the mouth from felt too.  

When I make a toy after a picture, I try to keep the proportion. It is very important too. This doll has 24 cm. The hands looks a little big weird because they are so big, but these are the proportion. 

The mother who order this cute doll asked me to sew on the back a name and a date. Maybe it is the kid's name, I didn't ask. Maybe she wants to keep this doll as a memory, because the kids use to draw so beautiful at some ages, and their pictures look so cute, that you want to keep them forever. 

If you want a personalized doll for your kid or just for you, as a birthday gift for a child or for a grandmother too, order one in My Etsy Shop  Send me the picture and I will try to make an unique toy.

Cute personalized toy

Kids can imagine strange and beautiful things. A toy could be something else everyday. I received a new challenge with a picture for a toy that is ... a panda bear with a butterfly head and a cat tail. I have to admit that drawing is so nice and original! It has perfect proportions and the right colors.

I try to make the toy to look exactly like the drawing. I know it is important for kids.

In time, I found out that this kind of toy could have multiple purposes:

- a toy for kids, of course

-but a gift for mom or grandmother too because they always want to keep in their secret drawer something from their kids

-a present for a birthday or a present for no occasion

-a gift for dads

-a memory toy...

If you want a toy made after your kid's drawing, make one. Available in My Etsy Shop .

Flowers on a Bag

If you have a simply bag and you need some decorations, grab some colorful felt and a needle.
This is a project for beginners. You don't need a sewing machine.

You need: a bag, needle and thread, colorful felt, beads, scissors and ribbon for a bow.

First, I cut some round shapes from felt and I sew some beads in the middle of the flowers.

I pin the flowers and the leaves on the bag. Then I sew it.

I added a pink bow to my bouquet. That's all. It can be a perfect present for a friend, your mom, your granny.

Or it can be a great gift for a book lover.

Happy sew.
