This little rhino is very quick to work up and will stampede its way into anyone’s heart. I have always loved rhinos and I enjoyed the chance to make this little one.

Okapis have been one of my favorite animals since I was little, so I decided to make one and while I was at it, create a pattern to put up. I put up a large okapi pattern and then saw that some people may want a simpler pattern, so I created the miniature okapi pattern and put it up.

I posted my pattern for the Pols Voice expecting it to be unpopular, but within the last few days, it has actually been downloaded, so I thought I’d inform you all that it’s up.
If you’ve clicked on the Pols Voice, you probably already know what he is. He is a ghost/bunny creature from the original NES Zelda series that shows up rarely in the future installations. I liked him, so I made one and now you can, too for no cost. Enjoy!

Squid have always been an amazing animal to me. I love their tentacles and legs and love how they swim, so I made one to be a companion to my octopus. He doesn’t sit on your shoulder well like the octopus does because he is top heavy, but he does sit up on flat surfaces well.

I was inspired to make this because my first stuffed animal as a baby was a blue elephant, so I thought I might make a more realistic style elephant. I am pleased with the adorable result.

Looking for cactus patterns online proved to be more difficult than I first thought. All the good ones cost money and there aren’t very many of them, so I decided to just play around and see what I could make. First, I made the pot and then put a dome of dark brown dirt on top. I Ended up making different shaped leaves and then starting from the middle and worked my way around. I got better as I went, so the outside layers look a bit more like hen and chicks than the middle. To top it off, I put a smile on the middle of it.
The reason I was interested in it at all was that I have a friend who was feeling down about school and how much work was left after she recovered from being very sick. I gave her the cactus in hopes that she could look up and have something to smile at her and cheer her on.
The pols voice sitting on my shelf was begging me to create more Zelda plushes to keep him company. Another one of my favorite enemies from Zelda is the leever. I created the base and then went to the spikes. Several model spikes were created until I settled on a pattern. I lost the pattern I had chosen originally, but made a new version. The end result is this lovely leever:
My sister’s birthday was coming up and I didn’t have money so spend on a big gift. Instead I reached into my childhood memories and pulled out one of the Magical Flying Blowfish.
It all started when my sister and I were old enough to take baths without supervision, but young enough to take baths together. We had a small rectangular window high on the wall in the bath. One day, while pelting each other with bubble bath snow balls, she suddenly pointed to the window and shouted, “Look!” I zipped my head around and looked at the window. There was nothing there. I turned back to my sister and she shrugged, “You just missed it!” she said. “Just missed what?” I questioned. “The Magical Flying Blowfish!” she exclaimed.
For weeks she kept up the routine of me ‘just missing’ a sight of the blowfish outside of our bathroom window. My skeptical little brain began to lose its skepticism. Finally, I was hooked. One day, I asked her about the blowfish and she laughed and finally told me it was a joke. My childhood pride was a bit hurt, but we laugh about it to this day.
Because it was a hilarious joke, I decided that it would be the perfect gift for my sister. I have not sent it yet, but I am sure she will love it.
My husband and I have an older house; therefore, the cold comes in from under the door. In order to fix this, I crochet and knit a draft dodger. By crocheting the edges, I could keep them flatter, but by knitting the middle, I could make it quicker. Here is the result.
