Remember the Unicorn macaron amigurumi that i made few years back?.

Do you like cats? I'm not much of a cat person but they hands down take the lead when it comes to cuteness. It's hard not to love these fluffy little furballs with big adorable eyes. I really loved making this chubby cat that i couldn't stop at just one. Let's see how to make these adorable chubby cats.

The little things!

"It's the little things that makes life beautiful "

Like watching my girl grow a little everyday in front of my eyes, noticing her vocabularies expanding, attempting to dress on her own and surprisingly getting it right more often, her shenanigans getting a little more testing and my yelling gets way louder, there's a lot to learn something new everyday both for her and me.

Now that she goes to play school, i do get to some free time to indulge in crocheting and making amigurumis :) As many know by now, i like making teeny tiny things rather than large ones. This little whale turned out to be one such perfect project for me to try.

Wish i could make them in all pastel colors :)

I also got an order to make them in large quantity recently, so bear with me for overloading you with photos of  the these whales in different angles ;)

I have listed them in my Etsy shop if you like to buy one.

Which color do you like? i also turned some of them into Narwhals. I'm thinking of posting a free pattern for Narwhals. would you like a pattern for that? let me know if you are interested :)
Edit: you can now find the free pattern for this whale here

Well, enough of the whale madness, i'll catch up with loads of Narwhals next time. Have a crafty day! Cheers:)

Instagram giveaway!

Hello Lovelies! Just a quick post to let you know that i'm having a small giveaway in my Instagram. I recently got 2K followers of instagram and thought a giveaway is the best way to celebrate the little milestone.

The winner will receive the above unicorn and a small rainbow amigurumi. The giveaway will close on 20th July. Kindly head over to my Instagram account to know more details.

I happened to receive this cute looking Molang as a giveaway gift from TheCrochetJar . Isn't he adorable??

I'm working on some orders at the moment and will soon share with you guys. Have a happy week ahead :)

Catching up!

Hello all! i'm slacking off from my blog these days and i really want to catch up with it. I miss posting here but believe me i've been making lots of amigurumis lately. I'm just lazy to edit the photos and post them. Guess i should spend some quality time for blogging every week.

Here are some of the amigurmis that i made recently..

Aren't Axolotls the cutest sea creatures! They are called sea monsters but i think they look really cute with their smiley face.

I really loved seeing pictures of unicorn macaroons made by many in Instagram. You can find the free pattern to my Unicorn macarons here

And finally.. this caticorn seems to be fan favorite.
All of these cuties are available in my Etsy shop
Happy spring everyone :)
