BODY
Paint 2/3 of the bottom of cork purple. The head is not a part of this. Let dry.
Once purple is dry, paint top third with yellow mixed with white. After dry, come back in with the purple and give him suspenders.
Once the paint is dry. Insert screw hook in the top of the cork.
Using Sharpie find an unmarked spot on the cork and draw two ovals to act as the eyes.
Using the pink marker, make a large circle for a nose.
Using the black marker make a zig zag for the mustache on each side of the nose.
This is a quick pattern that is easy to customize. Change up the colors and have fun with all sorts of color combinations.
Note this pattern is not tested.

TAIL FEATHER
In Custard, Ch 8
The tail feather is made by doing an oval increase. Sometimes it helps to mark where your increases are going to go with a spare piece of contrasting yarn. Just note that the first row is worked on both sides of the starting chain.
This year, I had the dumbest idea. I should crochet all the Pokemon. Then I looked at a pokedex. While I play Pokemon Go, I was not quite prepared for the sheer number of Pokemon. With the release of Scarlet and Violet it numbers at around 1008. This may take a few years so I will post my progress and the links to the patterns.
I started with Bulbasaur.
This took me awhile to find the best pattern. I wanted to make sure it was as close to the original Pokemon as possible.
Bulbasaur.
This pattern I found on deviant art was my absolute favorite. I did have to look up a tutorial on how to do the needle felted eyes, but it was great to add something new to my skill set.
Then I used a random number generator to figure out who was next.
Random.org came up with #255 Torchic who is also completely adorable.
Also a starter pokemon and so cute. I got the pattern here. There are a bunch of Pokemon patterns on this website so I might be back. I did choose to use safety eyes on this one instead of felt.
That’s as far as I have gotten. I will update when I have more, Pokeballs, included.
I grew up watching re-runs of the Addams Family in black and white. We also watched the movie with Christina Ricci as a kid. So, when the new series came out, I had to watch it. The line “Wednesday is allergic to color” stuck with me.
I needed a new cork ornament for this year. Thus, this little item was created. You know she doesn’t like Christmas or color, so the black and white Santa Hat popped into my head.
This is a super-fast project to whip up and a great way to use up those corks you have been saving.
This pattern isn’t officially tested, though I have followed it 5 times to make an army of Wednesdays. If you make it, please use #drunkenauntwendy so I can see your work.

BODY
Paint cork black. Leave top of cork unpainted for the face.
Once the paint is dry. Insert screw hook in the top of the cork.
Using Sharpie find an unmarked spot on the cork and draw two ovals to act as the eyes. You can also add eyelashes.
Using white paint make two upside down triangles at edge of black, with the center matching the center of the eyes.

In the Conjuring Universe there’s a super creepy doll. She’s possessed by the spirit of Annabelle and allegedly malicious.
That’s okay, this version isn’t possessed she’s just cute. New to the Horror Mini Series I present Annabelle. She’s a quick crochet and great scrap buster. Remember, this pattern isn’t tested.

I’ve been consistent. It’s crazy. I’m really trying to get more typed and up. There are so many patterns that I have written that I still have not typed. I’m working on some mythical creatures and a potential book.
Not all patterns will stay free forever so get it while you can. These two are great because you can make them separately or sew them together. You also can coat them in blood because that is just an excellent idea.

HAIR
In Light Brown
Using the hair color, wrap the yarn around an item the same width as you want the length of your hair to be. (I used my iphone). These wraps should be as long on the phone as your set aside piece of hair. The more wraps you do, the thicker the hair.
Fold the yarn in half and insert into the brown section of the head. Pull up a loop and then take the remaining yarn through the loop to secure it. Repeat to fill the head.
Finishing
Using the Black Embroidery Floss, embroider eyelashes and mouth on each doll.
Use the white ribbon to tie up the hair at the side and to tie ribbon around the center of the dress.
Make a second doll. Sew the dolls together or leave them separate.
I read this book when I was in 6th grade. I’ve been reading crazy stuff for a long time. Had to read the book before I watched the 80s mini-series.
There are patterns for both versions of Pennywise. You can make them both.

This year I present my new horror minis. Due to Instagram polling, the Shining Twins are not bloody. I feel as though they should be, but I was overruled. Thankfully, I didn’t ask about Georgie. I think I’m the most proud of Ash and his ripped shirt with tiny chainsaw.
These should be typed eventually, but I wanted to share the new ones.
I started to venture away from the eyelashes I was using. Mainly because I didn’t have the patience to wait for the glue to dry.
