Christmas and crochet ^-^;

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is going to have a Happy New Year :P I spent my Christmas with my family and after some egg nog and a few too many chocolates I'm back to my crocheting.

I haven't posted much in a while for the sake of keeping some of my Christmas presents a secret. Now that they've been shipped out I can go back to postin' ... yes... However that would require pictures and I neglected to take very many of the creations I shipped out :P a heh... Well I can tell you about a few of the awesome books I got my hands on this Christmas...:

Creepy Cute Crochet

Christen Haden

I made a few elder gods and sent them on their merry way in the form of key chains :P

I also broke down and finally bought

Amigurumi! Super Happy Crochet Cute Pattern Book

by Elisabeth Doherty

I'd been avoiding this book for a while as I'm not the hugest fan of her style (I dunno, something about the extra long arms and legs *L* I tend to like big heads and stubby lil' appendages LOL). It is, however, a good amigurumi book. She describes a lot of techniques well with a touch of humor. I don't like the way some of the patterns are written though. She makes me do math... I hate math LOL


My husband is great, I <3 him so much, he bought me some clover ergonomic crochet hooks for my birthday and gave me a $50 gift card to my fave craft store. I splurged to say the least... I'm fully stocked now... well for at least a month or two :P

So yeah... I was going to play some World of Warcraft and take a break from crochet but I think I want to work on some more dolls.... yus.... perhaps I'll just have a sprinkling of WoW... perhaps. :P I pay for the damn game I should at least play it once in a blue moon.

Alright, I'll stop babblin' and post more stuff soon... I uh... promise? :P

Wow Summer was unproductive :P

So I've decided my excuse for letting the crochet habit fall to the wayside this summer is that it was too darn hot :P But now that the season is turning and the leaves are falling I'm picking up that crochet needle once more to create more tiny cuteness ^-^

So far this week I've made 2 jellyfish, 2 mushrooms, 2 cappucino cups, a hippo and a koala o.O

I have a few pictures (above) ain't they cute? :P

The mushroom, the jelly fish, and the cup of coffee are all designed by Ana Paula and the koala and hippo are both from

Amigurumi Friends to Make and Enjoy

by: Tamie Snow

I just picked this book up from chapters :) It has lots of really cute patterns. I want to try the lemur next :)

I also picked up a whole whack of Japanese books on etsy along with 23 skeins of antibacterial yarn *woot* I'm gonna have tawashi pouring out of every window in my house :) Yay christmas presents ^-^

I'll take pictures of my swag and post it all here as I get it :) *so excited*

Oh I almost forgot I finally joined http://www.ravelry.com/ it's an awesome resource with lots of like minded people, if you haven't already check it out :)

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 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*

baby elephant

So I finished the baby elephant last night, it's so cute :) I figure I'll give the baby elephant to my cousin's baby, since I embroidered the eyes for safety reasons :)

So now I've crocheted a bunny, a penguin, a cat, and two elephants.... now whut? Well my husband suggested a kangaroo but I can't find a pattern I like... so perhaps I should just make one of my own... yus... so that is whut I shall doooooo...
