Amigurumi Kitty Cat

So for my second Amigurumi creation I've made a pink Kitty made of 100% organic cotton. As this is going to be a gift not intended for a baby I made the eyes using lucite buttons as oppose to just weaving them on like I did with the bunny. I'm liking the look of the eyes though so I may invest in some safety eyes for my next project.

 

Heavy Heart

With heavy heart
and broken knee
I fall to you for mercy.
May you have mercy on this soul
The damned to torment being.
I can but offer love to you,
Tis' all that I possess.
If I, to you; had more to give
I swear, that you may have it!
I fall to you, with heavy heart
that's filled with longiness to brim
Won't you just bless me with a smile?
And draw a shade, on light so grim?
My heart so yearns to be with yours
Tis' heavy now as lead!
There is no hope that it may float
for sure it will be drowned.

Upcycled longies!

 
    I finally got around to cutting up some old sweaters and sewing longies for Evan. Here is Evan's first pair in a gorgeous purple grape color :) I found quite a few tutorials online on to how to do this however having experience in sewing pants I knew that a lot of them did not take into consideration the fact that pants are always slightly bigger and taller on the backside in comparison to the front. SO if you just cut off the sleeves and sew them together your pants won't have the proper proportions to accommodate the super cute baby bum. However I did find one very clear tutorial that showed how to take all of this into account and make super cute and easy longies...HERE

I also went one further and snipped off the bottom ribbing off the sweater and folded that in half, encased the elastic in it and used that for the waistband!
