Sleepyhead Doll by Lanas y Ovillos

I've been eyeing to make an amigurumi, I even purchased a Craftsy Class By Stacey Trock of  Fresh Stitches called Amigurumi: Woodland Animals. I learned a lot from that class but I still don't have the expertise I want with Amigurumi. I have a problem with balance, my eyes are not in the center, the bear I did from that class was looking up. I don't know why, the class is so good, the instructor is wonderful and she answers your every questions. Maybe it was too advanced for me yet, or maybe I just expect too much from me. 

But I never give up, I will never give up on amigurumi. I even made my first pattern Angry Birds Amigurumi, although I can honestly say that the bird did not look like an angry bird at all...lol, but my son love it. So I searched the internet (Youtube) for an easy beginners amigurumi tutorial. And found this one by Lanas y Ovillos. It was very easy for me to follow and a good start for someone like me. I was just too ambitious in making those complicated toys.

With this one I am satisfied with the result, not that I am the only one satisfied, my niece seems to love it also. We asked her what to name the doll, she wants to call it "cappy" I think she means "Nappy" since it is a sleepy doll. And yes she takes it with her in her sleep.  And I am happy that she likes it, because nothing is more satisfying to know that someone appreciates and loves my work.

So I guess my amigurumi adventure doesn't stop here, someday I will make those complicated ones... My son keeps asking for a dinosaur! Wow a dinosaur! Wish me luck on that.

So that's it. I hope you all learn something and enjoy this post. If you have any questions, comments or suggestion just leave a message on the comment box and I will gladly answer them. Thank you and God bless!
