Rice Ball...Mmmmm!

My fiance and I have been watching the anime Fruits Basket and I have absolutely fallen in love with it! The main character, Tohru, refers to herself as a rice ball and I loved it so much that I made one!

This video explains why Tohru is a rice ball. Here's my version of Tohru, the rice ball!

Feeling a little sluggish...

I set out to work on some scrapbooking and finish my dad's record collage but felt like being lazy, which means amigurumi time! My fiance wanted me to make this little amigurumi for his friend. I thought it turned out pretty well for a one night project. He reminded me of Gary from Spongebob Squarepants hahaha.

In other news...my fiance bought me this really cool crafty book The Crafter's Devotional and I'm really excited to get started on it tomorrow!

Mushrooms are done!

I finally finished all my amigurumi mario mushrooms for friends, aren't they so cute!

I was so excited to finally get these done so I could start working on other things. I always seem to have a huge list of projects that I want to do and never enough time to do them!
I think I'm going to tackle some scrapbooking next and then my dad's birthday gift. I'm excited about his gift since I'm decorating an old record with Michigan related things since we used to live there when I was little. I can't wait to get started!

Welcome to my blog!

This is my first blog and my first post!

I absolutely love anything crafty and I'm always experimenting with new things. I recently learned how to crochet and have been working on various amigurumi things. I wanted to start this blog to have a place to share my creativity with others and hopefully get some feedback on my creations.

This is my biggest amigurumi so far, a stuffed totoro from the movie My Neighbor Totoro.

-I got the pattern for this from http://heavens-hellcat.livejournal.com/420.html a wonderful and easy to follow pattern.
