Baldees

They’re cute! And friendly! And balding!

Baldees are a new Mochimochi Land toy now available exclusively at Schmancy, the Seattle vinyl and plush toy store. A limited batch of 20 Baldees—four each of five balding types—are now available in store and from the Schmancy online shop. Collect them all!

These are toys, and not knitting patterns—the pattern will be coming to the Mochimochi Shop next month.

Snail Magnets

Here’s a neat idea from catmum on Ravelry: insert tiny super magnets in the bodies of Snails before you close them up, and your Snails can crawl up the fridge!

This is what catmum’s snails look like in a more natural setting:

The pattern is free, so give it a try!

Update: catmum kindly reminded me to mention that strong magnets are a no-no for little kids, because if they are ingested they can be fatal. Plus, Snails are a little too small to be toys for under-3-year-olds anyway.

Campy’s New Friend

Look who’s made friends with Campy—it’s mmmmm, the hungry little monster designed by Joan De Lurio!

I have a feeling that mmmmm is only interested in getting to know Campy for one purpose.

You can get the pattern for Campy and the Mallows FREE with any purchase at the Mochimochi Shop through this Friday, August 14th. And buy the pattern for mmmmm at Joan’s Ravelry shop.

Thank you for the test, Joan!

Tiny Garden Gnome

Update: You can find the Tiny Gnome pattern in this PDF download and in my book Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi!

The twenty-third tiny thing is a Tiny Garden Gnome.

He recently went to Nome, Alaska, where he was very disappointed not to find a “G.” (Thanks, John!)

It looks like Shannon was the first commenter to suggest a gnome, so she gets a free pattern. Thanks Shannon!

So the month of Tiny Things has come to an end, but I’ve had so much fun with it that I’m thinking I’ll turn it into a weekly feature on the blog. Sound good?

Tiny Trash Can

The twenty-second tiny thing is a Tiny Trash Can.

He likes to make friends, but the way he relates to other things could use some work.

Melissa gave me the idea in the comments, so she gets a free pattern! Thanks Melissa!

Tiny Cheeseburger

The twenty-first tiny thing is a Tiny Cheeseburger.

He is going through a tiny crisis because he just found out he is made of soy.

Burgers were mentioned by several commenters, but knittedteacups was the only person to mention a cheeseburger, so she gets a free pattern!
