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...

When girls sleep in the evening, in peace and quiet I have my yarn and crochet or knitting needles. I don`t have only one project at a time, there is a basket on my table full of projects waiting their turn to be finished. Also, some other is in my head jumping up and down singing "knit me too, knit me too". :) Sometimes I fall asleep right after the girls without no craft time. Nowadays I am addicted to amigurumi. I am making dolls, rattles, softies as a gift for friends. I get inspired for new pattern ideas while making them, I have my notes but need time to try and write the instructions. They need to wait for a while until I finish some of my projects. :) Here is some I have made. ~ I love, love this doll.  It is an easy one that you don`t need to sew legs, you join them :) Sewing is my weak point with amigurumi, I hurt my fingers.  I have made a few differences from the pattern. I made proper hand part larger than arm. I didn`t make a proper dress, I made the a...

I bought some crayons for Little M when she was 14 or 15 months old. I waited a few days before I gave to her thinking about some potential dangers like chewing the crayons or drawing on the wall. Then I gave up thinking and decided to let her play with them.  She really enjoyed and still enjoys drawing. I also bought her some coloring books, but instead of coloring the images she prefers drawing her own picture on white areas. She can draw a head with eyes mouth and sometimes big ears calling them grandma or grandpa.  Last week, when she was drawing next to me, telling me about her picture(!),  an idea came to my mind: I should make some animal pencil toppers for her. I ran to my leftover yarn box and found the colors I wanted, then started to make a bear. I tried a few times to get the exact size, head of bear wasn`t big enough but Little M still liked it and played with the head till I finished the frog. Then I made a bunny. Little M was watching me and ju...
