My Handmade Amigurumi

I'm addicted to Amigurumi!!!! AMIGURUMI is the Japanese art of crocheting small stuffs animals! I crocheted a whale without pattern couple months ago. My younger daughter loves it so much. When my older daughter asked me to make her one, I couldn't do it again for I didn't write down the pattern! Indeed, I'm not too good at crocheting. I'd better follow patterns!


As I mentioned in my last blog, I bought an amigurumi pattern from http://www.anapaulaoli.etsy.com/. When you scroll down the pictures, you'll see a little cute piggy. Her name is Jacinta!


After making Jacinta, I can't stop making more amigurumi! Therefore, I've made a little bunny, her mommy, her friend which is a little bear! It's so much fun!


Oh! Don't forget to get plastic safety eyes from Clara, my best friend! http://www.6060.etsy.com/. Those plastic safety eyes are so easy to assemble. I use 9mm black eyes for all these animals! good size!

Hi everyone! It's getting cool in New Jersey now. How's the weather in your state/country?

I've been very busy at crocheting recently! Yes, crocheting is a lot of fun! I'm making some amigurumi for my kids. I bought a pattern from http://www.anapaulaoli.etsy.com/ last week. She is a very nice and sweet seller. She has many cute and easy-make amigurumi patterns in very low prices. She is also an author of 2 amigurumi books! I also ordered some plastic safety eyes from my best friend's shop http://www.6060.etsy.com/. She has many different sizes plastic safety eyes for amigurumi. Good price! Godd seller!

OK! Back to my topic! I have some new inventories in my shop! Look at these beautiful silver-plated and gold color disk-loop bracelets! You can glue on fabric covered buttons, Swarvoski Crystals, grass, pendants, charms and cabochon on them! I love these bracelets!
