Day 19 #amigurumay | Sailing or Flying Your littl Day 19 #amigurumay | Sailing or Flying

Your little one’s imagination could FLY away with these toys! 😉 

Ok, that was cheesy, but in my defense, I am much better at crocheting than I am at coming up with catchy captions. 😂

Day 17 #amigurumay | Skill I learned Years ago I Day 17 #amigurumay | Skill I learned 

Years ago I wanted to make fleece loveys by crocheting around the fleece, but I wanted them to not be typical blanket shaped with just a head, but rather take on the shape of the actual of the animal. 

I taught myself not only how to cut the fleece, but also how to create a merged file to hold all the pieces of a form for printing, so that anyone wanting these patterns, could ALSO cut their own fleece and make them! 

It was one of my biggest challenges (more so the technology aspect than the cutting), so I’m so proud of my fleece lovey designs! 

Also, do they HAVE to be stuffed to be amigurumi? I make these flat so they’re cuddly like blankets and easy to wash!

Day 16 #amigurumay | Scrap yarn I love making the Day 16 #amigurumay | Scrap yarn

I love making these little scrap yarn octopuses when I have very little yarn left, and they make great keychains!

Day 15 #amigurumay | Friends 🥰💕 I have had Day 15 #amigurumay | Friends 🥰💕

I have had a very busy day, preparing to go out of town tomorrow, and I was just going to share a curated photo of some of my pajama pals for this prompt…and then this happened…

I made these two pajama pals in the likeness of my daughter Charlotte, and her friend Helen years ago. They are well-loved! 🥰 Helen sent mini Helen home with Charlotte for some repairs. While I was making dinner, Charlotte asked to use my phone so she could send pictures and videos to Helen so she knows her mini Helen is doing well. 

I could not have scripted a better story for my “Friends” prompt today, so enjoy the unedited, unfiltered love and imagination of a child and her toys. ❤️🥰

P.S. wait til the end and you can see a picture of them together when I first made them! 💖

Day 14 #amigurumay | Something white This Puffy Day 14 #amigurumay | Something white 

This Puffy Stuffy Bunny pattern works up in less than an hour and makes a great snuggly toy for any little animal lover! 

I’ve made it with blanket yarn, chenille yarn, worsted, and dk! This is using @premieryarns Parfait Chunky with a G hook, and it might be my fave!

Day 13 #amigurumay | Close Up I actually really l Day 13 #amigurumay | Close Up

I actually really love putting my phone camera so close to fabrics, that you can see the different fibers woven together. I find it fascinating! 

Don’t look too closely though, or you’re likely to find a hair woven in there. 🫣😂

This is my Brontosaurus Fleece lovey design, and a special order! Find the pattern on my Etsy.

Week 10(!) of Make it Happen Monday, and still goi Week 10(!) of Make it Happen Monday, and still going strong!! 

I’m not gonna lie. Today I lacked some serious motivation, but I still got it done!! The mini Tyrannosaurus Rex fleece lovey is the smaller version in the pattern set, perfect for new babies. And once you get over the fear of cutting your fleece, this whip up pretty quickly and simply!

Hmmm, if pressed, take me to the mountains for sure! As far as my creations, I definitely prefer making sea creatures!
