Roxycraft is back at work. I am working on a new Ami, a Koala for Jack. He's finally gotten to an age where he realizes that his Mama makes "TOYS"!!! Now I am inundated with requests.
I have finally taken yarn to hook to get started...but here is the rough sketch (at least part)
And the newest member of Team Roxycraft is my boyfriend Tim! He's making an animated short featuring Big Blue and the Yeti called "Conversations". I did the voices! He's awesome.
When it's finished, trust, I will post it! I'm so excited to see how it turns out!
While you wait for all the newness, why not make a "Cute"?

Hey all! I know it's been forever since I've posted...
Unfortunately, the reason I am posting is to tell you that for the foreseeable future, I won't be designing new patterns.
It's been nearly a year since I last designed something and if you read my new blog Snow Business you know why...I have spent the last year focusing on my health and family and the results have been incredible for me. I just cannot see myself wanting to sit on the couch and make dolls again. Not now at least.
So for the next few days/weeks (whenever I feel like posting something) I will be cleaning out my craft show inventory and selling it on Etsy.
This will be the last time you will ever be able to get these dolls. So, if you want them, snatch em up!
First up: Monkey Man
I know you want the free pattern for this large fuzzy panda doll!

I have been experimenting with some new techniques for amigrurmi and this week I've been playing with a brushing technique involving a dog slick brush and wool yarn.
I have made three dolls involving this and the first one I'm sharing with you is my favorite so far...Fuzzy Panda.
I haven't written up the pattern yet, but I plan to do a photo tutorial on the technique soon.
I hate doing the same dolls multiple times, so I am trying to make different dolls to bring to Renegade in July. So I hope to have lots of new dolls to show you in the coming weeks.
