CHRISTMAS (AGAIN).

 

Laziness.

I've been meaning to post this for months but life has been busy sort of, not really, I'm just lazy. Anyway here are some things I made for my family for Christmas (yes I know I'm still on the subject of Christmas).

I made these two fruit bags for my nieces. The strawberry one is made out of wool and the watermelon one is made of cotton. (I had a little trouble with the watermelon bag but I think it turned out OK in the end).

I made this Crobot for my nephew, who surprising liked it (I thought he wouldn't because it wasn't Lego or a game console).

You can buy the Corbots book here: http://www.amazon.com/Crobots-20-Amigurumi-Robots-Make/dp/0740778277/ref=tmm_pap_title_0 Although I have only made one pattern from this book I would recommend it because some of the patterns in it are really cute, especially the Zombiebot ;P

I painted this for my Dad out of arctic paint. I know I'm no Vincent Van Gogh but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

 

My Sister posted this picture on her Facebook page, and because I'm poor and these tea sets cost a lot of money, ever since then I knew exactly what I was going to make her for Christmas.

 

 

And so here they are! They're made out of bakeable clay, and I think they took about four hours to make.

 

 

I was racing my brain as to what I should make my Mum for Christmas and then it hit me, what elase would someone make their mother for Christmas, other than a pink crocheted Cthulhu! (I think used the wrong hook because it seems bigger than the last one I made, but it's hard to tell because I haven't got that one anymore).

 

 

 

My brother really loves Nightgaunts so I modified my alien pattern (which I will post the pattern to soon) and ended up with this:

 

 

He's made from 4 ply cotton and a 2.00 mm needle just like the Alien

.

 

I do wonder one thing though, why is it the things I make for my brother only just get finished just in time, at like three in the morning, and I end up going crazy because of lack of sleep? 

 

I made this crochet doll of my sister, for my brother-in-laws birthday. It felt kind of weird crocheting my sister in a bikini but it was worth it because I got lots of thankyou hugs :)

 

I modified this pattern to make the doll. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/martian-boy

 

My brother half made this Mandrel (from Doctor Who) for my birthday out of "green stuff" and I say half made because he only finished sculpting it for my birthday and three months later finally painted it. But at lest it's finally finished now and it looks amazing and at lest my brother sculpted the fur on the Mandrel's bum (which he was hesitant to do because apparently it looked "weird") like the original costumes.

 

Awww.... look it wants a hug.

And finally, last thing! I didn't make this, my sister did. I didn't want to made the biscuits because it looked to pretty in the jar, but my mum and brother convinced me to make them and they tasted really good!
