SO super Kawaii!!

   



I think I've finally figured it out!
Here is an up date of some of what I've done......

I made this tiny guy for Oscar. He named him Super Bunny!!

Here is the lil' Koala I made for Janelle, before I had a good hang on how to create these! Still cute though!!

My first big bunny. He turned out SO cute. Now I just need to figure out how to do the underside of the ears cleaner looking. I don't want to use felt, I want to try and only use yarn.
I gave this guy to my niece Skyler for her 1st bday!




And than I just finished my first big bear in pj's. Joe says it's his favorite so far!

My very first Amigurumi!
He was created out of a couple different patterns.
I gave it to Evan and he promptly name him Boingy!!
Loves Boing!!

Really getting into doing cookies instead of cup/cake's for birthdays and gatherings!! So much fun to make and eat!! And there are so many things you can do with cookies!


Also, made popcorn balls. Not as good as my Aunt Debbie's, but pretty cute and tasty! : )


My second Amigurumi- Tom the turkey! So much fun to make!!
Got this pattern from the lion brand free patterns! love that site. Thanks to my cousin Katie for telling me about that one! : )


My siste-in-law, Jenni, and her kids were getting into the origami type art and they gave us some of the beautiful stars that they had created!




My third Amigurumi ended up being MUCH larger than I had expected it to, but was super cute anyway! I made it for our nephew Jude.


And that is it for now. Oscar has ordered a bunny, I need to get on that. And I have a few other things that I am going to try out- eventually!!

The right way! Or is it!? ;)

So I was doing well creating things crochetting, but was getting a very point, not rounded look. Which would work for some things, but not with what I was trying to do.

And I figured out what I was doing. I was crochetting in the first loop instead of both the front and the back!

I like how doing just the front creates a spiral on the other side, but most likely it isn't going to be seen anyways!!

I figured this out ALL by myself! (patting self on back!!)

I will hopefully update with pics of what I have made (with the wrong way) soon.
