Easter stuffies, a few pics

[crochetsal]

The 'Bulbos' were designed when someone at work showed me one of the halogen lightbulbs from the hot deli display case. They are wonderfully thick glass, and have a flat bottom. Rather than throw them in the garbage, I rescued some. I still have a handful downstairs which need to be 'upcycled'. Edited to add: I tried one with a regular incandescent bulb, and the same pattern will fit both styles. The Egghead Buddies elephant and mouse are a 'continuation' of last year's Bunny and Duck. And the pink rubber ducky is a toilet tissue cover, suggested by a customer. Why pink? I had pink...

Although the patterns have already been sent to subscribers, I have yet to put them up on my website and Etsy, which I am hoping to do this afternoon.

And lastly...Rubber Ducky. Glad he's done, I had a of a time with his derriere.

Very cute! What an ingenious way to re-use lightbulbs. Not sure I'd give one with a regular bulb in it to a little one to play with... I'm good enough at breaking them my self

cuties! the elephant bulbo is my favorite

Thank you! I did specify in the pattern when using a lightbulb, it is strictly ornamental, and that for a 'huggable' version, stuff completely with polyester stuffing.

You do use less stuffing with the lightbulb, and it holds the shape better than stuffing. When I saw the lightbulb, I saw a 'body'. It also keeps the lightbulb out of the garbage--but again, it would be for decoration only and not to be used as a toy.
