I'll start with my first amigurumi. :D
This is a little siamese cat I made. Where I sewed the parts on her...well, let's just say it's a complete mess, and so is the tail I created. :P For my first amigurumi, though, it wasn't so bad!
The second amigurumi I ever made:
This is a teeny, extra fat rendition of my husband's grandmother's chihuahua, Pixie. I had to sort of substitute with the tail here, but I stuck to the original pattern everywhere else. It was just a very short version of the original pattern, so it was simple enough.
And this is the pattern I used for both of these little guys:
The other creations on this blog are great, too...but I figured it was a simple pattern to start out with, so it was really awesome when they turned out the way they did. *puffs up with pride* Moving on!
In the making...
The farthest I got. :P I'd have sewn on his other little tooth, but I got exhausted with the effort of stitching as an inexperienced sew-ess. My one-toothed Goomba!
I looove this little guy. The sad part is...I still haven't finished him. xD His feet are just pinned to his body...maybe I'll finish him one day, but he was giving me some kind of trouble with those cute little feet of his. :P And here's his pattern:
I'm a regular Nerdigurumi follower. <3 She. Is. Awesome. So awesome. For my first ever hand-sewn-with-a-tiny-needle-and-thread project, he turned out okay. Not as good as the original...but I don't mind much, because he's still cool as hell. :D Browse the site, you'll find some incredibly awesome stuff!
Just so you know, I apologize for this next one. Profusely. I took so many pictures. <33
TOAD!!

I made this one for my husband. And since he loves orange so much, obviously I made this fellow orange. He is so small, and I packed him soo hard...if I threw him at your face, you'd end up with a broken nose. I do not exaggerate. Since I was just starting out, I figured I'd try using a small needle to hold in all the poly-fil. I didn't want it sticking out at all...and it doesn't. And, if you'll notice, the spots on his head have holes in them because the stitches were so small and packed so tightly together...I had blisters, guys. BLISTERS. It took me days to finish him...and by the time he was done, I had muscly hands. Those muscles on my hands had muscles. My hands were ripped. Anyway...I deviated from the pattern a little and made the feet myself, using a little bit of Nerdigurumi's magic. They're flat on the bottom, but they are, essentially, little half moons. I did a little bit of my own magic to make it happen, and I like them a lot. Not surprisingly, they're a little easier to sew on, so I enjoyed them thoroughly. Here's the pattern:
Soooo many awesome things!! One of my favorite blogs to follow. When I saw this site, I didn't know what I wanted to do first! Ahhh, Wolfdreamer is spectacular. Give this lady a shot, she's amazing. <3
This next one, I also adore. He is also very tiny, and also very hard. Though not quite as bad as Toad, he could still inflict a black eye upon you.
Bobomb! :D

In all his lovely glory. <3
When I showed my dad this, he loved it. Dad played Super Mario 64 with us all the time when we were kids. Many fond memories did the N64 give me...that was the life. ^-^ Anyway, he worked up a lot faster than Toad did, so he was a little side project I started on while I was working on Toad for Jordan. He's so adorable, I could never stay mad at him...even if he gave me a black eye. <3 Here's the pattern...another of WolfDreamer's:
Did I mention she's awesome? Because...she is.
Not to be outdone myself, I decided to create my own little pattern. It was difficult (as I was a beginner), but well worth it. He still rests...unfinished. >.> But I'll get around to it eventually. This is my very own Teeny Tiny Mario Mushroom!
Ain't he just the cutest thing you ever saw? :D <3
Once again, I must ask you to forgive me. Moar pictures...so many pictures! This is my little squirrel amigurumi. I used the same pattern from my first amigurumi for the body and legs (though modified to my own tastes), but I created the ears, snout, belly and tail fluff, and the tail on my own. I know now, after looking at it (since not a lot of planning went into its creation) what I would do differently. But it's still cute as a button!
I found the acorn pattern somewhere...and I created my own pattern for the leaf based off of another pattern I found...but I can't recall where in blazes they came from, for which I apologize. :( But I still really like how he turned out. <3 So cute.
FINALLY. I am done flooding your computer with images of my first creations. I hope you like them...and, for future reference, I'll be making more. The likelihood of them coming from at least one of these sites, however, is pretty high. :P Keep yer eyes peeled, mateys. <3
