She’s a cutie. Little Lola Pug. Ready to be adopted if my friend will accept the adoption papers ;p
She loves key lime pie and frosty minty milkshakes. Lola’s a playful pug, with bendy limbs that can sit or stand. She is a bitey puppy!
My friend’s little sister commissioned me to make her a pug. She grew up with pugs and I can tell she has a soft spot for them… Me too <3
My latest purple bunny. I’m making it in purple yarn this time and photoshooting so that I can sell my pattern on etsy. This one is turning out really great. Lots of character.
I wanted to design a smaller, faster doll, so I could write up a pattern and sell it on etsy. Well, it has taken me this long to make the doll. It might be a while before I get it on etsy… sigh… where does the time go? Anyways, I’m in the process of writing it up, then I’ll need to photograph step-by-step directions. I’m so glad I’m a designer by profession bcs it’ll be fun to put together instructions :0) Stay tuned for more…
Peachy-Keen Bunny is my take on Care Bears. Dang, I really wished I had one of those when I was growing up in the eighties… Now I just have to make my own <3
Custom order. New bunny ear design as well as new leg design. Legs can stand or sit.
Introducing Rebecca Rabbit. She loves the attention — thank you!
Alice was missing something. Her Cheshire cat. This little pink and orange striped kitty is quite deluxo. The pink is 100% baby alpaca, and the orange is 100% superwash merino wool. And it took forever to make. So much so that I may not even make legs.
Maggie Fitzcat can put up her dukes and isn’t afraid of defeat. She’s only 5.5 inches from head to toe, but she’ll show you what she’s made of: determination, focus, discipline and all heart.
She will be for sale at Ironhead on W 4th Ave, in Vancouver.

Fun stuff here! My friend designs graphics for this limited t-shirt shop on 4th Ave. One of his designs is called “cat fight” and he asked me to design a doll for him. This one will be sold at Ironhead once it’s done. She sports a striped hoodie t-shirt dress.
She’s divinely lovely. Princess Frankie Froggie. Her real name is Francine, but everyone calls her Frank for fun. She likes the nickname. She’s a bit of a tom-boy, but does love girlie things like flowers and ruffly dresses… As long as the dresses are not pink. She loves life and is always chasing butterflies or smelling roses. She wears a lilypad flower on her head to remind her of her heritage. Princess Frankie Froggie is made for my niece’s Birthday <3
Meet little Risako Raccoon. She is always in a laughing mood even though she looks pouty. Her big blue eyes are always on the lookout for fun and games. Her favourite food is belgian waffles with nutella and ice cream <3
Bought some grey coloured yarn and realized it would make a perfect raccoon. So here is how she’s looking. I need to buy some dark brown yarn to make the ringed tail. I especially like her square eye patches — really sets off her lovely blue eyes.
Now where did that little white rabbit run off to?
I hope that tea party is serving nice biscuits…
She’s all done! Introducing Missy Cat. She loves pink! Everything pink! Especially pink ice cream and pink butterflies.
Progress shots of my new button-eyed, bobble-head cat. She is made of 100% wool. the pink dress is alpaca wool (oh so soft and cuddley). I also wanted to experiment with really long eyelashes and some blush. I like the way she is turning out.
I started to make fabric dolls. Just taking a slight break from my usual crochet madness. My friend gave me a whole bunch of fabric and I have endless ideas. I recall having a blue fabric weiner dog in our home when I was little. I have no idea where that weiner dog is anymore, so I thought I’d try to make another one. This one is completely hand sewn. I figure I’d have more control if I hand sewed it. I also like the home-made quality of hand sewn. I will make more as gifts for friends.
These are so fun to make and so fun to photograph. They look delicious enough to eat and no calories either!
A smaller breed of monkey and froggie were found chumming around together. They love to eat popcorn and watch good ol’ Clint Eastwood westerns.
Added sprinkles and tweaked the icing (it was sitting a bit too high off the tops of the cupcake bases)… What do y’all think now? I think I’ll also try a mint green icing on dark chocolate base. That should look less cactus.
These are sock monkey inspired. The first one I made is named Carl. So here are a few more. The electric blue ones (there are two made for Robyn in the picture on the right) are named “Huey” and “Louie”, the newest, littlest one is made of sport weight yarn (super squishy soft) <3
Why can’t my amigurumis wear gorgeous sweaters like the kind I buy from Banana Republic? So I decided to make one for my latest bunny. She wears a ribbed turtleneck sweater made from Twilleys of Stamford ‘Freedom Spirit’ yarn. Sheesh, I wish my sweaters were this nice! And when it’s really windy and cold out, she can roll her turtleneck up to keep her warm. Yeah, she loves her fuzzy pink slippers also… Progress shots are shown below.
She loves to dance and sing! Her legs bend at the back of the knees.
Cute little octopus is dreaming of a beautiful, colourful world under the sea…
Meet Carl, the sock monkey. Loose lips sink ships, says Carl. That’s why he cannot be trusted with secret information — like where I keep the bananas.
Inspired (obsessed, really) by Mr. Funky’s Owl Madness, I had to try to make my own cute little owl.
Who are you looking at?… Who?… Who?…
Can anyone tell me which way to the ladybug picnic?… Hmmm… I’d better just turn around and head home…
Here are a couple newly designed cupcakes. I was inspired by my friend’s picture she took in L.A (see picture below). These displays just make the cupcakes look so deliciously yummy! I had to design something just as simple, elegant and scrumptious!
One new item added to the baked goodies: fortune cookie! 
Chichi the little chihuahua dog loves his new doggie bed. He sits on there and basks in the sun all day long.
Shake a paw Chichi… Good dog!
I took a little holiday at my parents’ place and crocheted my fingers off — literally! I have been crocheting so much that I’ve worn off a layer of skin on my second finger (left hand)! Here are some of my latest creations.
Here is a happy little cherry bird. She loves to sing and tweet-tweet all day long! Hopping and dancing around looking for little seeds to eat. Adopted by my niece.
Here is some progress on my latest Fox amigurumi. She is turning out wonderful and I’m gonna have a hard time parting with her. Her dress is made of soy wool. Love the colour and am glad I was able to use it for this fox–it’s a perfect compliment to the orange.
She is done! I added some variegated yarn under her purple dress using Koigu wool. It is a touch of ruffly, fun colour that pushes up the purple dress hem. I am thrilled with the way she turned out ~:0) She is cared for by my highschool friend Shellie.
Here is Roxy’s “character” card:
