Granny Squares

It's that time of the year again and I am starting to crochet gift items. These are a pair of granny squares...I am making a hat for my friend. The pattern is from "Simply Creative Crochet" (Premier Issue 2003 - Better Homes and Gardens). There are many projects in the magazine that crocheters will love, like pullovers, a couple of toys, bags, scarf, skirt, hats, etc.

When I finish the hat, I will post a photo. I really like hat patterns. I think my favorite to crochet are hats, and I am lucky to have a friend who loves hats.

Crocheted Cupcakes with Swirly Frosting

I was finally able to finish writing the pattern for my second design of crocheted cupcakes. Here are some pics:

I had fun crocheting them; sewing on small beads was surprisingly enjoyable too - I thought it would be difficult for me since the beads are so tiny, but I found it quite simple. The pattern is now available in my etsy shop.

Amigurumi Mice Doll with Flowers

Here is a pair of crocheted dolls I shipped this week :)

Pattern is available here

Last week, I shipped some crocheted fish bones, so I am really thankful for these orders.

I have fixed my cupcake crochet pattern (not the one below but the one I've been working on since last year), it is almost ready, I am just having doubts with the hook I used so first I'll have it verified then if the result is good, I will list the cupcake pattern on Etsy.

Amigurumi Cupcake Plush

Here is a big cupcake plush I made a few weeks ago.
This was requested by a lady in England.

As I was making this, I was also trying to write the pattern, but further into the work, as I see it becoming more and more like a cupcake, I got excited and set my notebook and pencil aside and just kept crocheting. So there is no pattern available for this plush :(

Last year, I wrote a cupcake pattern. I'm done typing it, now I'm wondering why I haven't finalized it.

Thank you for viewing :)

More Amigurumi Cats

Here is another set of crocheted cats I've finished.
These just went out to Europe and I hope they will arrive safe :)

The crochet pattern for this "Alley Cats" set is available here.
The pattern includes the cats, the garbage cans & the fish bones.

Amigurumi Alley Cats

The crochet pattern can be found here

These arrived in Germany safely, how happy I was when I learned of it. I was worried that the box of cats would get lost in the mail.

A Package to Europe

I am finished with my stuff for Sarah (a very talented lady who makes a variety of handmade goods). I hope she will like these stuff I have prepared for our swap :)

My swap will be delivered by this little flower-loving mouse :)

How "little" is she? I don't know! :)

But we can all tell that she wants to go to England.

I made her using my pattern & cotton thread


Of course, she cannot go on her own.
She will be accompanied by her mother.

Should they go hungry in transit, they have these with them.

Here they all are:


I have turned the little one into a cell phone charm.
I attached a small pink bell.

I will mail them today and I hope they will arrive safe :)
