New Horror Minis

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment
New horror minis

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.

Horror Minis

Every year I make mini monsters. Not all are pictured here. There are patterns for:

Beetlejuice

Apparently, I never typed Ghostface. I have quite a few to type and I keep adding new ones.

This year I did Ash, Georgie, Hannibal Lecter, and The Shining Twins. I may do more.

Crochet Rosie

Remember the Jetsons? Now, I’m not that old, the cartoon was re-released in the the 80s. Plus the movie was release in 1990. Tiffany was Judy! I know, that still makes me old. Anyway, I always wanted a robot maid. Sadly, they don’t actually exist. I tried a Roomba type floor sweeper, but it kept getting lost under the coffee table.

Anyway, I’ve been feeling a lot of nostalgia lately for the cartoons of my youth. Proven by Strawberry Shortcake.

I’m working on videos and typing lots and lots of patterns.

As always, the pattern hasn’t been tested. If you make her, use #drunkenauntwendy or tag me so I can see your take on my little creation. She’s a quick crochet, you should be able to get her done in about an evening.

Free Crochet Pattern – Strawberry Shortcake

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy 1 Comment
Crochet Strawberry Shortcake

I have so many patterns to type. I am working on it as my husband and I decided to build a wine bar from scratch and that is taking a lot of my time. I am also working on Youtube tutorials. The first one will be Cokie Nut. Alas, my day job gets in the way of actually shooting and editing videos, but I am plugging along.

One of the things that helps me with designing is trying other peoples patterns. Here’s Krakken Girl!

Krakken Girl

I think I should have made her hair a touch longer, but I loved the sweater and using wire for the tentacles. You can find her shop here. There are some really fun and funky patterns. I obviously don’t have time to make them all, but I can dream.

Anyway, the way the pattern instructed me to put the spots on the tentacles inspired me to try Strawberry Shortcake. I was having the hardest time figuring out how to put the strawberries on her hat. Then it hit me, red sharpie.

Remember Strawberry Shortcake? You don’t have to be old like me, there have been a ton of reboots.

Strawberry Shortcake Mini

As a child of the 80s, I wanted the Strawberry Shortcake toys so bad. Her and her gang besting the Purple Pieman definitely made it to my daily play time.

Here’s the free pattern. Remember free patterns have not been tested. There may be typos or issues. If you make her tag me using @drunkenauntwendy or #drunkenauntwendy so I can see your take.

Have fun.

Mickey Mouse Champagne Cork

Mickey Mouse Cork Ornament

I’ve been working on some pop culture throwbacks. My favorite so far is this big guy.

Ludo from the Labyrinth
Side view of Ludo

It’s Ludo from the classic movie the Labyrinth. I was so excited to make him. Special bonus, this time I managed to make a left and right hand. I am notorious for forgetting to switch the thumbs.

He’s done with Homespun, which isn’t my favorite to work with, but it gives me the best results after I use the slicker brush. He’s being typed and I’ll hopefully have him to testers soon.

Now on to the free pattern.

Free Pattern

It’s a long way to Christmas, but you might want to start making these little ornaments now. At least you can start drinking some bubbly to get the supplies.

There are many more corks to come, I’m thinking I might do Christmas in July and a whole new set of corks. Then in preparation for the best holiday ever (Halloween), I will start with more minis. I may have lost my sketch, but I can always come up with more.

As usual, the free patterns aren’t tested. If you make this one, throw out my #drunkenauntwendy so I can find it on Instagram.

Kits and tutorials are coming.

BODY

Using your red Sharpie draw a line around the bottom third of the cork. (The top part that acts as the head is about a third for measurement purposes). Pick which side you are putting the face on and try to note the front and the back.

Draw your two buttons on with the yellow/gold sharpie on the front and the back. These are in an oval shape.

Using the guideline previously drawn in red, color in your shorts.

Then using the same yarn, SC along the spine of your item catching 3-4 pieces of yarn at a time. (This secures the hair). Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Cut the hair at the other end.
