Amigurumi Pickle!









So here it is...my very first 100% original ami!!! Meet Penelope the pickle! This little lady was created especially for Pickles the Clown...shown here beside Penelope! It has a pin back so that Pickles can wear Penelope on her skirt for all the kiddies to see. She features her own "clown" hairdo, safety eyes and an embroidered pink mouth. Her eyes are actually even...although I just realized they don't look like it in this photo. In addition I randomly did single crochet in front or back loops to give her a little more "pickle" texture... it isn't really noticeable and doesn't show up at all in the photo. I added the arms even though pickles don't have arms, just because she looks like she's ready to give all the kids a hug! I hope you like her!!!

Catching Up

Well, welcome to my blog. I'm not much of a writer so I've procrastinated creating a blog until now. The time has finally come with the opening of my Etsy store The Awkward Armadillo that I need another outlet to show everyone what I am capable of. This first post (and perhaps a few after this) will be a hodge podge of photos to "catch up" so to speak. I'm also in the process of switching over to my laptop exclusively and many of my photos are still on my desktop so it may take awhile to move everything over. Please bear with me and ENJOY!!! Thanks for looking!



This first photo is of a ladybug ornament I made for an ornament exchange partner. He was so cute I considered making an entire army of them!!!




















Another one of my Valentine items was this pair of slippers for a swap partner.




Once I transfer some of my other photos over to this computer I'll post more of my creations! Thanks for looking!!!
