cuteness abound!



Alright, so here is the fish and the happy poo I made :P cute huh? I'm still working on that hello kitty doll, it's pretty big and the dress is complicated O.x;


Oh I ordered a hamtaro japanese craft book because my family has a new member :)

DIEGO! Isn't he cute! He's so fat! I heart him!

So yeah now I need to make a cute hammy :P

Been a while :P

Sorry I don't have more pictures to put up right now. I've made a fishy, some happy poo, and I'm working on a hello kitty doll but I've been busy and I'm too tired to put up pictures right now :P

So yeah, I purchased some 'translated' hello kitty patterns. They're pretty bad ><; but with a lot of work I'm slowly deciphering them. I think I'd be better off just getting the japanese versions and translating them myself. I know how to read hirigana and katakana so I should be able to use and internet translator for the words I don't know O.o right? Meh *L* Ne-who....

I got a hamster for my son, his name is diego! So I think I'm gonna make a cute hamster once I'm done with hello kitty :)

Yoda Amigurumi


Yes.. Yoda... I've seen a few amigurumi yodas floating around and thought 'meh not cute enough' :P sooooo I fixed that *L* Yay yoda! Love him!! *L* I'm gonna work on some more original patterns over the next few weeks and put a few up for sale/free. Yus.

Amigurumi rabbit/cat :)



So I decided I wanted to make one of the cute patterns I purchased from Ana Paula's etsy store. I ended up making the bunny in her PJ's but instead of pink pj's I decided I wanted to put her in a kitty costume :P Yes... a bunny dressed up as a kitty ^-^ Turned out very cute but I hated the black yarn I used to make her ><; It was all falling-aparty and annoying, very difficult to work with. I originally bought it because it was really soft and shiny, it is but I hated working with it ><; So I used it all up with this project, and now that it's done I really want to work with my nice wool :)

So yeah... Now I dunno what to make O.o maybe some slippers for my husband.... with happy faces! O.O and eyes! *L*

Crochet Wicket :P Yay Ewoks


So my husband saw the Star Wars amigurumi and begged me to try and make wicket. The pattern I followed was not very well written so it was made with a lot of guess work *L* and I didn't have the patience to crochet his hood, I just made it out of felt and some embroidery floss :)

All in all I think he turned out pretty good :)

Amigurumi apple O.o;;




Yay apple! My first amigurumi made completely without touching any set of instructions :) simple but cuuuute! Lookit him smile mischievously... I had to make a granny smith apple because they're my fave :P *L*

So yeah, I'll write up a pattern for mr.apple here when I get the time/gumption to do so :P but I promise it is coming to a computer screen near you... eventually *L*

I'd also like to remind anyone who might read this that I am more than happy to take suggestions on what I should make next O.o I need ideas o.O

Amigurumi bunny :)




A hoy hoy. So Friday I was thinking about what I wanted to make next. I decided I wasn't going to use a pattern, just the techniques I've learned from my previous lil' crochet dudes. I ended up with this bunny :) I like the dress, I made a purse for her too but I can't find it right now, I'm sure my son hid it somewhere x.x;

I finished her yesterday and I'm really happy with how she looks :) so cute! Now I wanna make a happy apple... I dunno why... I just do O.o; *L*

Amigurumi duck and platypus :)+




So I've had a really awesome response to this amigurumi stuff :P Just makes me want to make more :) So... I did *L*

My husband asked me to make a platypus, so I made one ^-^ I also made a duckie, so cute ^^! Once again I used patterns created by Ana for reference but the platypus was engineered by moi with a ducky as inspiration :P

More pictures:

Amigurumi turtle and koala :)



Well I spent today with crochet hook in hand, as seems to be the norm for me lately *L* Ne-who I finished two more friends ^-^ yay

First I decided I wanted some colors other than blue in my collection so I made a turtle :P yay turtle. Once again I used a pattern I purchased from Ana Paula's etsy site ^-^ They're just so cute I can't resist. I had a little trouble getting the head/neck to look the way I wanted and ended up macguyvering a solution :) It turned out how I'd pictured it so I'm happy. I made the underside of the shell blue because I like blue O.o and I wanted to use the same sort of yarn. You see I'm addicted to lion brand's cotton ease yarn, mostly because it doesn't fray and looks really nice when you finish. I find other kinds of yarn has lotsa fly aways. Problem is that cotton ease only comes in pastel-like colors... no bold black, blue, or red, and the green I used here in the turtle is the darkest they have. Oh well... ramble ramble.

Other than the turtle I also finished a Koala as a joke gift for a friend of my husband's who lives in Australia. So once I get the gumption to get out of the house and head to a post office I'll be sending this critter far far away o.o he better like it *L*

So yeah.... That is what I've been up to.... yep... uh huh.... That's all I can think of right now o.o so... bai bai!
