Yummy Amigurumi

I made some amigurumi food!

First up is a crochet cupcake that I made from the book Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet, even though I ended up making alot of alterations to it. Firstly I changed the frilly part on the icing because the way the pattern in the book said to do it and the way it was showing up on my cupcake was totally different, so I just did my own thing.

I did buttons for the eyes, felt for the mouth, and added a red pom pom to the top.
:)

Remember this little guy? I got the pattern for him all the way back in September 2009, which I wrote about here.
I actually started and finished him in the same day, it was so quick to do :)

Hooray for finishing projects!

How's your Thursday coming along?

XOXO, Callie

Amigurumi Octopus

I made a little amigurumi octopus for my sister Kaitlyn on her birthday two years ago. It is from the book Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet by Ana Paula Rimoli.
I crocheted it with crochet thread to miniaturize it. Kaitlyn was pleased with it, but she also knew what I was making, since she picked it out.

Have you seen those Silly Bandz that are so popular right now? Well, my brother has some and this one was an octopus that he gave to my sister.

I couldn't resist this little picture of Ranger plopped out in the sunshine while I was taking these photos.

Note the quizzical brow?

I'm about to go to work... see you soon!

XOXO, Callie
