Friendship Party Princesses Collection - Bag Charm/Keychain

After completed the plush version of the Friendship Flower Fairies Collection, I am off to make the Party Princesses range.

Basically, these are smaller in size compared to the Friendship Flower Fairies Collection plush, and if you notice, these are without the legs. 

One range is similar with the Friendship Flower Fairies Collection, but without the wings. And the other range is in different colour outfit but same designs.

These are the range similar with the Friendship Flower Fairies Collection:

Sue - Front & Back

Alice

Iris

Jo

And these are based on the Seasonal theme:

Sue, in Autumn themed colour

Alice, in Summer themed colour

Iris, in Spring themed colour

Jo, in Winter themed colour

For these 2 collections, I made them into bag charms/keychains...

Can you guess who is who? :D

The Party Princesses with the Original design of Friendship Kokeshi Dolls Collection

I really love the Princesses, don't you? I'm sure I will make more! :D

Xmas Present Exchange Party 2014

So, after completed all the boys' toys i can think of (the cars & the airplanes), Constantine told me he wanted to give his friend Damien a Blue Bear...hm...

A bear? To a 9 year old boy? I seriously don't think he will appreciate it...:D

So, instead of a bear, I've decided to make a car keychain/bag charm instead...not the cars that I've made as those are too big to be a keychain/bag charm.

Here's what I made at the 11th hour, this is by far my most stressful project ever as I was also rushing for the backlogs I have for the Xmas Bazaar next week. This car took no longer than half an hour, but the cross stitch was the killer...the cross stitch & stitching took me more than 3 hours to complete!

Completed product:

The car with button wheels...:D

This is how it will look like on the backpack or school bag...:)

Pretty cool huh, i think it is much better than a blue bear for a boy...lol

Oh, this pattern is inspired from the original pattern, but not exactly the same as i motified the back part of the car...you can find the original pattern here: http://www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/yarn/crochet/free-crochet-patterns/tiny-crochet-car-crochet-pattern/

Pink Teddy & Her little Sleeping Bag

Little Pink Teddy is not feeling well due to the ever changing weather, but she had to go work. 

So, she decided to bring her sleeping bag along...

Half way working, she felt dizzy & has to take a rest. So, she snuggled into her sleeping bag...

Hm...not so comfy, she thinks...

So, she tosses & she turns...

Finally, she found comfort sleeping out of the sleeping bag! I think she felt hot inside the sleeping bag...

Hope she feels better soon!

Let It Go...Let It Go...

My sons are into Frozen's Let It Go song lately & we have been you-tubing & singing our hearts out! LOL

It's kinda hard to sign without a lyric sometimes, so I downloaded the lyric for them:

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

Not a footprint to be seen

A kingdom of isolation,

And it looks like I'm the queen.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Be the good girl you always have to be

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

Well, now they know!

Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go

Turn away and slam the door!

I don't care

What they're going to say

Let the storm rage on,

The cold never bothered me anyway!

It's funny how some distance

Makes everything seem small

And the fears that once controlled me

Can't get to me at all!

It's time to see what I can do

To test the limits and break through

No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!

Let it go, let it go

I am one with the wind and sky

Let it go, let it go

You'll never see me cry!

Here I stand

And here I'll stay

Let the storm rage on!

My power flurries through the air into the ground

My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around

And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast

I'm never going back,

The past is in the past!

Let it go, let it go

And I'll rise like the break of dawn

Let it go, let it go

That perfect girl is gone!

Here I stand

In the light of day

Since this is the 'season' for Frozen...I have to make something out! Plus, I have a request for it too! :)

Here's my version of Princess Elsa...she has thick hair, big eyes & she is only 15cm tall...LOL

This one with her hair at the back...

After making this, I have to make it into keychain/bag charm...you know, since I am hooked into making Bag Charms & Keychains so much...LOL

So here it is...smaller in size, about 13cm tall, with a pair of smaller eyes & longer but thinner hair...

From different angle...

I even made 2 snowflakes to go with it...cool huh?

Just to compare the 2 versions...

What do you think?

These cuties are available for sale at my Etsy shop:

Mom & Daughter Matching Bags

This is one of the very 1st bag that I've crocheted. Ordered by 1 of my dear friend...she wanted a matching Yellow bag for herself & her daughter but do not wish to buy those off the shelf as she wanted something unique...

So, I have crocheted this for her...glad that she loved it...

For mommy...the flower charm is removable & the yellow flower is removable too! This is to ensure the owner can redesign the bag according to her mood every time she uses the bag. Then, you can have 1 bag but few designs...cool, isn't it?

For daughter...the flower charm is removable as well.

It wasn't easy to come up with the design but I think I managed to get it done up to my expectation. Mind you, I'm a perfectionist...if things are not up to my expectation, i don't display or sell it...:)

Anyway, according to my dear friend, here's what she loved about her bag...this is attached to the zipper...it's my signature design...:)

And what she loved about her daughter's 1...the butterfly button 'flying' towards the flower charm...lol

After making her bag, the inspiration just flew in & I had to make a few more! I will share it out when it is done...:)
