Crochet elephant and Ipod nano 3 case :)

So over the summer we went on a trip down to Washington to visit the in laws. I decided I was going to need something to do so I caved a bought an ipod. I picked out a green ipod nano 3 (whatever that means) and when I got it home and examined the shiny, flimsy looking, exterior I decided that it could not float around in my purse without some sort of protection. Out came the crochet needle and some of my fave yarn (cotton ease by lion brand) and presto, a decent ipod case if I do say so myself :P I also made one using organic wool I bought at a farmers market down there, it looks a bit better but I found the wool scratched the metal surface on the back of my ipod so I set it aside.

More recently I've been sick ><; sick enough that I've spent the last few days half comatose o.x' I did, however, manage to make myself a baby elephant amigurumi :) it's white, I know, and the picture is horrible but it really is cute. I only made it white because I love the lion brand felting wool and I wanted to make something with it. You know sometimes you just have to indulge in the more expensive stuff just cause it feels so good to work with. ^-^

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 :)

I still exist!!

So yeah, been busy to say the least. :) I have a picture of one of my hello kitty dolls. yay! I have two japanese hello kitty pattern books now :) I also ordered a hamtaru one and a purse and accessories book :P I <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicQ4PeP8zvarmkgAkFryfkIWxaM4oNY_gXCCcf-_tOMCO_yVWvblMRJnBBJre6qrEbFB-NSFBcjvAvHICsl5yn6cuMD8aJp2p4zZqzgzQWTo2LK8JSPNrIEQGxB1pD_oyVsDsR3O9AIhM/s1600-h/hellokitty1.jpg">

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 teddy :)

So I decided I needed a teddy. So I made one without a pattern just off the top of my head. Lookit how cute he turned out! This is Theodore the polar bear :P I'm gonna work on typing up the pattern for him too :) For now just bask in the cuteness *L*

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
