Robbin's Essentials This is the first installment in a new segment on my blog!! Every month I share with you the products that have an Etsy store that I splurged on. They are special because they are handmade and unique. Above is Robbin's Essentials Goat's Milk & Honey Lotion. It smells so friggin good! I got the one that smells like oatmeal cookies. One of the ingredients is "goat milk from our farm". How cute is that? As soon as I saw these blue velvet bellbottoms from Sinew Moon on sale I had to have them. They are handmade and she has the exact same tiny measurements as me! This will fit perfectly. I know I wanted to buy them also because Sinew Moon is like a sister shop to The Sleepy Jane Show , a perfect model for a crochet store. I've spread some of the homemade body lotion everywhere on me, free of chemicals and full of essential body oils because I love the smell! I don't remember putting on hand lotion religiously before n

I can't stop wearing my cozy ribbed over the knee stockings! Now that I think of it, I don't think I have taken them off. This is another pattern I modified and the effect is a dazzling set of pirouette legwarmers. If you want to get your hands on these lovely legwarmers, follow this link to my etsy store. Tiny dancers are always welcome<3 These are made for a trade. I can't wait to get my beautiful dress! After I made these in coffee, I picked up some soft acrylic yarn in grey. I made adjustments. I need more skeins!! Ready to ship!  October 29, 2016: I had to have a pair of pumpkin! The only shade available was in a bulky yarn, I'm pretty sure this is 90% acrylic and 10% wool. It's machine washable and worked up really quickly! Except I couldn't make the diamond design, and the cuffs didn't look right. They were mega cute withe the stripped shirt I got from second hand, from Adair's Curiosity Shop. It's important t

Pokemon Amigurumi Showcase!

As soon as I saw Cyndaquil on Pin it was love at first site - I knew I had to make me one! The free pattern can be found at Wolfdreamer. I made him last year 2015 and since have dabbed in other amigurumi Pokemon. I've always loved this anime, and influenced my love for more later on. And here is a Pokeball I free formed. Not very round! He's a big eater! I've since perfected the Pokeball and made a Mareep using a free sheep pattern but I free formed the electric tail and ears. I loved making Vaporeon, using the free pattern by AH! Creations blogger (which starts off using the Umbreon pattern by Wolfdreamer) This pattern wasn't the easiest to figure, and I ended up free forming the collar and fins. I LOVVVEED making this mermaid Pokemon and I happened to have the yarn on hand! Plus!! I have some yellow and I'm thinking about making another of my favorite Pokemon, Ampharos except I'm prepping for the Fiber Festival and some irresistible tra
