Procrastinating...

They're so cute!

  So I really wanted to have another pattern completed by now, and I kind of do have one done, but the initial image it was supposed to look like... Let's just say it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. I'll have to work on it some more, but who knows when I'll get back to it. For now, I'm working on two other projects; one's a gift, and another is a little skunk. The former I may share pictures of after Christmas (who knows who's reading my blog!), the latter will be up almost as soon as it's finished.
    Now October is usually the month I start thinking about the Holidays, and specifically, what gifts to make for the people on my list. As someone who practically makes all her gifts by hand (not including the material used) I have to think of these things early on so they'll be finished by the time Christmas rolls around.

Photographs of the (not so distant) past

   I'd thought I'd stray away from crochet today and share some of the photographs I've taken. I love to take pictures, but I haven't been doing it so much lately because I've been so discouraged and haven't had much inspiration. Discouraged because I stored all my pictures on our (pretty) old PC and it's been swiped a couple times and all my pictures went with it. *PUFF* gone. That was some time ago, but it still make me sad. However, I was on facebook a little while ago and saw that I had put some pictures up on there, some of my favorites, so I was pleasantly surprised and relieved. However, it doesn't stop me from wishing I had all my pictures back...

Yoshi Amigurumi

I've had the pattern up in my etsy shop for a couple of days, but I wanted to make a blog post about it. What do you think of it? If you've heard about the new Yoshi game coming out, Yoshi's Woolly World, you probably know it takes place in a yarn world and everything is yarn, including Yoshi. It looks adorable! There is also a Yoshi amiibo that's being released with the game and that's where the inspiration came from to make this Yoshi.

Ladybug amigurumi

    So, I have a list of things/animals I want to make with crochet, and since the ladybug was pretty small, I decided to mark it off my list. I'm pretty pleased with the result. Since it's an easy pattern and small, I've decided to post the pattern here for anyone who wants to make their own ladybug.

Animal crossing shirt... that didn't turn out as expected

   So I finished the shirt for Stitches, but it didn't exactly turn out as I would have wanted...

Stitches from Animal Crossing

When finished, Stitches stands about 8 inches tall

   I think he turned out pretty well, don't you? Today I'm excited to show you how I put him together.

Goose from Animal Crossing

Hello! I'm back, and with the pattern to my very first amigurumi. I am very excited to share this with you today, and for free, so I hope you enjoy making it! I've also provided pictures, so I hope they'll help somehow.

Goose measures about 8.5 inches tall

You will need:
E/3.5mm hook
6 mm eyes (or preferred)
Black and white paint (tempura worked just fine for me)
Black felt
White, yellow, yellow-orange, and red yarn (you might want to look at a picture of Goose to decide which colors you want to use. I used yarn I had on hand)
