Yay for more bunnies!

I love bunnies, such cute and fun animals. That is why I always refer to bunnies when I am talking about my kids. And now good news! Yay for more bunnies! My sister is pregnant and soon we will meet her very own blue bunny. As an auntie I had to make some toys for him. I made a bunny teething ring which   fabric design version is seen all around. I really love the idea, basic but fun!
I also made a bunny rattle from Lucia  Lanuka`s pattern which is also very popular. I sent my presents, including some lovely little man clothes and a blanket I made, to my sister before he arrives. I dont have photo of all of them but I am thinking and looking for more boys amigurumi toys which I will share later.  I will be making more for him and this time I will give them to him myself (I hope) when I meet him (probably next summer).  That is con of living in another country. You cant catch the news on time. :( 

I have my notes and the pattern for the teething ring will be available soon.

 You can find the bunny rattle pattern here for free. Isnt he cute? :)

Menny Swaddle doll

Baby is on the way, so it is time to celebrate! Baby showers are fun to use the opportunity to find something unique for for the mom-to-be, future dad and the baby. There are endless options for baby shower gifts, you can buy or make it yourself. You can never go wrong with a handmade gift! :)



I have pregnant friends and they asked me to make some gift favors for their baby showers. I wanted to make something new and unique. After a few days of dreaming, thinking; watching my two daughters playing and being inspired by them; I made these swaddle dolls. I really love how they turned out. They can be used as key rings, fridge magnet, bag charms etc..

If you want to make your own baby shower favors, you can find the pattern here or if you want me to make them for you, please contact me :)

Bunny Blankie Pattern

There are so many things in my mind about my etsy shop, business, how to do promotion, products I need to make and so on.. I was drown with the ideas and my long long to do lists. By chance I found out "rich mum business" web site by Ranae and after watching her webinars, youtube videos I realized the mistakes I am making over and over.. This time I am getting serious about the business and moving on, one bite at a time :) I still have loads of things to do and sometimes 24 hours is not enough for me, especially with two kids :) 

I decided to use instagram more active as a promotion for my shop and my products. I started posting more often and got new followers. I also found out a new company called Three Bears Yarn, they were looking for crochet testers to test the patterns. Yay! I contacted them by email. I tested a blanket pattern made by Denise Potter. I really liked the cotton yarn they sent me. They are soft and easy to crochet. There were a few balls left from the blanket and David let me keep them for myself. They turned into a bunny blankie and I will share the pattern with you :)
