I have a little break before I have another battle...
I'm so excited to show off my easiest easter chick...

they only take 30mins (or less!) to make!
perfect for anyone who has tight schedule like me! haha! :P
(I'll post the pattern in the next post.)

I made three of them in total...love them...
took so many photos for them...




Photoshoot with my tomatos :)

I took this one randomly without looking into the lens....surprisingly cute!! :D

I'm the proud mama! :D

I'm so happy and proud to announce, the first (as I known) twin of baby sheep is born!!


awwww....how sweet! :)

from Cecile - a very nice and talented crafter from Flickr (link to her flickr site)
She is the first person who motivated me to my first step of pattern writing :)
Thank you very much Cecile, without you, my little sheep would be so lonely right now!

School work is killing me again...
I'll be back on Tuesday :) wish me luck!

I hate too much snow...

After a battle-like week, finally I have a little break, I can finally sit down and make my babies...

I have been working on several projects...

Usually I don't like to stick with one project,
Sometimes I have too many ideas then I like to work on several projects at the same time.
Kinda funny eh? :P


Play around with my camera when I'm bored.
This little light is from Ikea...I have all 3 of them...sooo cute :D

thanks again!

Although I'm so busy...I will still work on my projects when I need a break
and share updates with you guys

There are soooo many talented amigurumi makers around us!
I got an group invitation from flickr today...
Amigurumi Animal
pretty cool, I love to look at other people's creations, they all got different character even though they were from the same pattern. (Actually it is very difficult to see two very similar creations! Mostly everyone has their own "recipe") ^_^

love it love it love it~

ok, time to work... >_<
bye for now

Baby Sheep Free Pattern

Usually I don't write down pattern or record what I have done for my amigurumi,
some of my friends asked me if I can give the pattern to them...
I never learn how to write a crochet pattern so it's a tough mission for me...

So, this is for you all, my first written pattern
I hope they will work out well :)
