for the beautiful akasha boy hey.  he picked the colours :O

my ~latest creations~ all my scrap yarn are pastels, as i went through a period where i was making a ton of baby blankets and dolls for coworkers.  (which explains why i’m using these colours) i really want to redo that elephant, along with a donkey, in proper colours for the elections (republicans / democrats), but i need to buy some other yarn.  then i can stick pins in them >:| ~voodoo~ crochet :O

okay, so this was my first attempt at amigurumi and while my stitches could have been better (tighter), it still came out cute if i do say so myself i made the cats a toy using the pattern for the bunny head, stuffed it with catnip… they LOVE it.  plus, i managed to get the stitches tight enough on it, so now on to another pattern.

i’m using up all my spare yarn while learning to make these, so that i can buy all NEW yarn and have room for it.  i’ll take all the bunnies and stuff and donate them to one of the hospitals for kids.

now that my house is beginning to feel like normal again (everything is unboxed, i just need to give the upstairs a thorough cleaning) and having just gotten my craft room organized again… i am ~compelled~ to make stuff.  long ages ago, i used to have a subscription to craft magazine and i’d forgotten how much i really enjoyed it.  but guess what?  they have a blog!  woohoo!  i have a feeling that i’ll wind up re-subscribing, but there are a few sites, as well as their’s, on DIY crafts that should keep me knee deep in ideas.
