I saw this amazing mushroom on Principe Del Crochet`s blog  and fell in love with it. In fact, it was hard to choose from the patterns on the blog but the mushroom reminded me my friend so I made it first. It is such a fun and easy project that you finish within an hour. I also asked permission to translate the pattern into English so that everyone might try making it. You can find the original of the pattern here . If you make it please use hashtag #setasenelcamino, tag me and Principe Del Crochet  on Instagram. sc: single crochet inc: make 2 single crochet in the same stitch dec: crochet 2 single crochet stitches together The pattern pieces are made in a continuous spiral, without joining rounds or turning.

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 ri...

I love small projects which are stash busting and easy to make with in a few hours, sometimes minutes. Last month on our way to grocery shopping I saw big paper clips and they were jumping up and down, singing "buy me, buy me, you will make amazing stuff with me". :) I couldn`t resist their cute song and before my husband noticed, they were in the shopping basket hiding under some lemons. Sometimes I need inspiration to start the projects I want to make. I need to find the right flower / leaf pattern or the right stitch to start with. It usually takes time until it clicks and after that comes the production process. The paper clips were always in front of my eyes and every idea came to my mind didnt seem very good. I wanted to start with a flower bookmark but none of the flower patterns were good for me at that time. I also wanted it to be unique, not just random bookmark. Then one day.. YAY!! I found it and started making tiny dresses and sewing them on the paper clips. I lo...
