Best Blog Tips



For a while now I have been wanting to do a show and tell from time to time, and to feature those of you who have made my designs. But most of you have been kind of shy. Finally, I have found some ladies who are not afraid to show their work and who have thoroughly enjoyed making these toys! Please give them a hand!

Best Blog Tips






This toy is ideal to decorate a nursery, or if baby already plays with blocks, this one can be a lot of fun since it has feet, wings and a tail, it is also a tactile delight for little ones to explore, add to this the fact that it either rattles or it can be squeezed to hear it squeak, which can bring out all those lovable baby giggles you love to hear. It is relatively easy to make, it has a generous size, and it really cute once it is put together.

“Pink” of Cheeks- With Petal Pink and F hk, ch 2.
Rnd 1- Work 6 sc in second ch from hook.

Rnd 1- 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Fasten off, leaving a long tail to sew with.
Half rnd 2- Join White. Working in back loops only, make 2 sc in each of first 3 sc, sl st in next sc, Fasten off, leaving long tail to sew with.

Putting Blockety Ducky Together:
Stuff the beak with fiberfill. Take the block that will correspond to Blockety Ducky’s face, turn it so that the stripes of the sc rows will run vertically, and measure it with measuring tape, center the beak, pin down. Thread blunt needle and sew all around. Fasten off, weave in tail. Pin eyes on top of beak and sew in place.
Fasten off and weave tail. Pin “pink” of cheeks in place beside the beak and sew in place. Fasten off. (Face done.) Set aside.
Take the first block that will correspond to one of the sides, turn it so that the sc rows will run vertically and sew the wing right about the middle of it (measure so that both wings will be at the same level), repeat with the block that will correspond to the other side of block. Fasten off, weave in tails. Take square that corresponds to back of Blockety Ducky, turn so that sc rows run vertically, and center tail on lover part of that square, pin and sew in place. Fasten off, weave in tail.
Sew two pieces together for each foot. Barely stuff it so that the foot will still be somewhat flat. Close the foot entirely. Fasten off, weave in tail. Repeat with the other foot.
Sew the face block to the side blocks (the ones with the wings. Fasten off, weave in tails. Sew the bak block that has the tail to these three blocks. Fasten off, weave in tail. Sew the bottom block to all the blocks you have already joined. Fasten off, weave in tail. Decide if your Blockety will rattle or if it will be squeezed to hear it squeak, and as you stuff with fiberfill and bury into Blockety either one or two cat balls or a squaker. Sew top block and fasten off.
Note 2- If you have chosen to stuff the toy and insert a squaker, the ducky will squeak when you squeeze the block, and it is a totally different effect than you get with the rattling ball inside.

You can find very affordable squeakers (believe it or not, at dog toy supplies like Sitstay.com ---Not associated in any way with us. Or in any place that sells grunters and squakers for stuffed dog toys.)

You're done!

Heiferetta Moolove

Best Blog Tips


Heiferetta is the newest baby in the Moolove family and the last little cow we will make (for the time being). . .it's been fun making these barnyard friends, but we would like to move on to other pastures too. So here's the little cowly babe, fresh from the nursery! A cute little heifer in the making and the joy of her older brother Hoofer. (By the way, I desperately need to stop making cows because my love of color is showing up too much and coming up out of their ears. If I don't stop, in no time at all we would be making blue cows with green muzzles and pink spots!)
Hope you enjoy making this one!

Put one piece of Upper Side with One Piece of Underside of Ear together and using leftover tail sew all around, leaving a space open to insert on the corner of Heiferetta’s square head. Insert ear and finish attaching. Fasten off, weave in tail.

Note- Because of the thickness of Cherry Red, the Underside of Ear will be slightly smaller than the upper side of the Ear. It will make the ear curl a bit which will work to make it look more natural, so don’t worry about it!

Done!

Cowletta Moolove Funmigurumi

Best Blog Tips






With Cowletta, we will start a new family of Funmigurumi, the Moolove family, straight out of a green and pretty prairie!
The idea for this funmigurumi came from a personal request from a special crocheter, but it just stirred up things on the farm, so Cowletta wound up having a sister, her name is Milketta. I hear some mooing coming from the pasture so I don’t know if there are more little cows out there or may even a couple of bulls. . . Meantime, enjoy Cowletta until we find out!

Leave that open to insert into toy, to give more strength to the ear.
