That's right -the wild west is about to get transformed in to SACKBOY!
With a craft idea up my sleeve i believe i am the first to make the John Marsden Sackboy!

Photos will be added shortly.

For those who aren't aware, John Marsden is the main character from the video game 'Red dead redemption" Fun game to play with plenty of character. So i decided to make a tribute to the game (in sackboy form).
Keep an eye out for the next post which will include photos!

I am back on Ebay and Etsy after a brief break, so if there are any sackboy orders you wish to make, feel free to message me on ebay, etsy or here!

Well the other day i had a request for a sackboy made completely from white yarn.
I think i remember seeing some sackboys made from plain colours other than brown and wondered how this one would turn out!
Well i have now finished the little guy and think he looks pretty darn cute :) But maybe next time i will use a lighter coloured yarn for the mouth as i think it may be too harsh on the whiter wool. This wool has a slight shimmer to it too!
See images below!

And heres the little guy! He looks like he has a somewhat anime type smile on him due to the way the rows joined at that peak in his mouth! Somewhat cute feature!

This is the latest creation from the Sackboys i have been making.
This was a request from a lovely lady who purchased this as a gift.
I have uploaded images of this little creation, and im quite happy with how it turned out!
I crafted his hat from grey felt and super glued a red star to it.

More creations soon (when i have the spare time)

I had some left over green felt from a recent sackboy order i completed and got a funny idea in mind.
I wondered how sackboy would look as Adam from Adam and Eve..afterall-sackboy life has to be traced back somewhere right?

See pictures below:

It would be no surprise to my mother to see these adorable dust bunnies lying around my room!

However unlike the usual dust bunnies, these little guys arent here just because you didnt clean your room!
I made these dust bunnies from Jazz yarn, hobby fill and safety eyes. They measure 2 x 2 Inch. They have tails also which are a measure of wisdom-the longer the tail the wiser the bunnie! (bet ya didn't know that!)


These were fun to make, however this type of yarn is somewhat challenging to deal with, and i probably wouldnt attempt to make a large amigurumi at this stage with this particular yarn..unless i didnt mind my stitches not being even and correctly counted etc.

However i will post the pattern for these little guys shortly. Its really just a basic circle and can be done very easily.
I will be making more variations with tiny fuzzy ears!

Well seeing as though i am forever crocheting and selling my sackboys and lovely creations, its vital for me (i believe) to post these adorable creations in a way which will hopefully surprise the recipient! (in a nice way!)

I have taken some photos of how i generally pack my little sackboys before i pop them into the tough bags ready for post. These tough bags are extremely durable. I generally pop them into clear plastic self adhesive bags which i bought from ebay in a bulk auction of 50 for about $6.99.

Below are the images of my little creations before being put into the bags:

Well today was a pretty awesome day!

My pre-ordered DS Lite game came this afternoon from gamestop (after me eagerly awaiting for it all day), and with it came the special plush pig that ships will all pre-orders!
Very glad i pre-ordered to get the plush pig as it is simply adorable<3 ! And also the fact that the game hasnt even been released here in Australia yet....
I haven't had much time to play it due to my uni exams this week (one tomorrow) so i will be setting time aside tomorrow afternoon after my exam to play it. It seems quite similar to Island of Happiness in that it has the same characters and they are runnign the same businesses and whatnot. I know there are perks like races and other mini games which i have yet to encounter in IOH. Then again..i have yet to get any animals in IOH due to the fact that i constantly run out of stamina in the game (i sure do miss the Nes version "Friends of Mineral Town" where you could relax in the hot springs to completely rejuvenate!) this may appear later in the game who knows! But for now it seems I'm doing a daily routine of watering half my crops and trying to scavenge grass roots and such to keep my stamina up. Farming is never easy!

Apart from being overly excited about my new HM game, i have been extremely busy with sackboy orders! I have had 4 in the last few days with about 5 more to come! Its a good thing i love crocheting, and with my new job and more flexible hours, i will surely have alot more time to make new amigurumi's!

I am just itching to create my sackboy in bunny suit!
