My First Amineko Cat!

I have been seeing people posting their funny Amineko Cat for so long. Finally I also cannot resist this little fellow! XD!

Also, he is my first CROCHET doll. 

However I had problem when crocheting in round, sometime when keep on moving up... the number of stitches changed.... So when I making the 2nd arm (halfway) & I compared to the 1st one...er... why not look the same!?@@#@$#$%... look bigger... so undo...re-do.. 2 times, 3 times,.. or 4 times. I can't remember. Then for the legs happened the same! =.=

At the end, somehow look ok altogether! LOL

I will make more accessories for him to make more funny pictures!
 

Stay Tune!

Another crochet bunny

I left this little bunny in pieces for months. As I was going to have dinner with this Bunny-Owner-to-be 2 weeks ago. So I dug out from my "WIP or Frogged projects"(mess)... XD

I gave up my original idea that make a bag and fill in some lavender then put it inside the bunny... >.<

Anyway my friend loves it and the color of this little bunny matching her REAL BIG BUNNY! :P

I am happy! 

love love, k

Tapestry Crochet BAG is done!

May is arrived.... 1st project of this month

I bought this pattern book when it was on sales. This crochet top is my favorite one! Also, I found this color cotton yarn, like dark jean blue. 

I never tried to crochet like this to wear! It is very interesting (at least for me) that crochet from a square, then connect to another square... total 28 square.. then DONE! This is amazing..... 

I crochet one on 30/4 but I kept it as a sample. So yesterday I started new... I made two... wow... it took me more than an hour per motif... hehe look simple but still a lot of workload!

Or 

once I can memorize the pattern, I can do faster!?!! 

Stay Tune! :)

Crochet Starburst Hotpad

I found this Starburst Hotpad pattern on Ravelry.com. 

1st impression: WOW so pretty!!!

2nd impression: Oh is it difficult to make?

Ans: NO! 

Thanks Carol Floyd's Youtube demonstration of how magically to turn 5 motifs into this pretty thing!!!! 

Here, I also put my progress into pictures and let's get some quick idea of how to make this pretty & useful hotpad!Yay!

Remark: I made a loop for hanging by using i-cord! So it can hang in the kitchen:) 

So would you like to make one for yourself or a friends of yours?

I made this for my lovely friend! :) Definitely will make more!!!

Crochet Sleeping Bunnies

During Easter, I saw a blogger, One Crafty Mumma, made a mother-daughter crafting day that made Easter Bunnies. Immediately this is put into my "To-Do-List". hehe

***This Bunny is actually original from this blogger,the green dragonfly, with picture-tutorial to follow. BUT this bunny is also revised from an crochet owl from, bunny mummy. (Owl is also on my list!):P

On hands, I had prepared one for a friend who loves it too... but I haven't finished that yet as I want to do some "Add-on". :P

However, I used this design to make a baby version, sleeping one in white/light pink organic cotton yarns for 2 lovely baby girls.

It is easy to make! Thanks to the bloggers who put a lot of efforts to do those picture-tutorials for us to follow! Yay!!!!! 

Last week, beside making these 2 little ones, I also crochet one more hotpad and one hoop art for my friends. Will show to you within this week! ^.<

Kraft Hunting Thursday

Do you Pin? I mean Pinterest!!! :P
Loving to Pin around as giving me so many ideas!!!(I know many ladies are doing the same like me >.<)


Now, I have "pinned" so much... my wish-making list is so loooooooong now... haha


This LACE BOWL I have been longing to make! This is a traditional kraft but still popular somehow I think. I saw some similar item at Franc Franc. 


Do you want to make this too? or you have made one already?!? 
Can you share with me please?! :)

Crochet on Glass Bottle: Elephant

When I was young, my parent's bedroom had a tall glass bottle with orange crochet dog.... (um... where is the picture of me next to it?!?!?)Let me ask my mum.... 


Anyway, so one day when I was drinking something.. and I looked at the glass bottle... immediately thinking I should make a crochet animal on top! So I tried this one!!!! 

Actually it was made a while ago... but as recently knitting elephants so thinking of this one! So want to share with you!!!! :) 

Can it inspire you to make something out of a glass bottle or even a wine bottle to create some cute little thing for decoration!!! ^.^

Let's get creative!!!
