Fun and Easy Amigurumi

This Cactus Kit is so cute and fun! 🤩

Then, I had to make a cute little lizard to go with it.



The first lizard was made out of leftover yarn from the kit - and he turned out a little too bulky. But I still love him. 😍  So, then I did the exact same lizard pattern but now using super fine yarn - and wow! What a cutey patootey difference that made!



Not easy to work with, but love how that fine year looks. It works up so slow and difficult... almost not worth it. Probably will not be doing any more amigurumi with fine yarn. 😂


Here's whole folder of pics, showing how much fun I had with

Almond Butter

  I absolutely love how pretty this little scarf turned out! It is just so sweet and simple, I want to make a million more just like this . 😄 I love everything about it: the color is so natural, the shape is sturdy but soft, and the whole look and feel of it is practical, pretty, and just plain fabulous. 🤩 Nothing fancy here, just my same fave simple mesh pattern, that I first described here: original post from the mists of time . Not too big, and no fluffy ruffle, just a bit of easy fringe, and a wonderful earth-toned color that sometimes looks toasted golden, and in certain light looks almost creamy. I love it when a simple color isn't so simple. 😍   I've had a long term love affair with earth tones, and I'm obsessed with natural colors, and I will never stop feeling passionate about these delish flavors. 😆  Carmel Mocha Chocolate and Wine Earth Tones Sand Sparkle Comfy Cozy I thought that Almond Butter is the perfect name for this color, although "honey whea...

Peachy Purse

  I'm completely in love with the newspaper , Crochet Nation . 😍 I made this little peachy purse starting with their pattern instructions for the "Fringe Clutch," issue 2, page 4. With a few of my own experimental modifications. Because, you had me at fringe. 😄 But, then I decided it was not enough fringe. 😎 Thank you, Crochet Nation , for the inspiration, and for being awesome. 😘 As you can see below, and in the Peachy Purse folder, my final product is just a rough draft. It needs some blocking, and next time maybe some closer attention to stitch counts, plus I think a little bit more fringe. 😆 Still, not bad for a quick whip-it-up piece that is just cute as a button and sweet as a peach.  I am obsessed with fringe'y purses. Here's a whole folder of Dazzly designs , with all their silly sparkle and fringe'y fun. I love playing in the Dazzly space. (Thanks, Jean, for introducing it to me!) Because I love thinking about crocheting a real world version of ...

The award winning photo above is all about me, plain and simple, plus  the wonders of nature in the outdoors.  😆  Thanks,  Crochet Nation , for the inspiration. I had some delightful fun posing for that silly photo, with my first silly hat. And my brother wins the award for most patient old Army guy in the galaxy. Here are several more photos that he so professionally took for me: photo contest . Posing in a silly hat is a special skill. 😎 Famous crochet supermodel, Marzie, makes this silly hat look like a million dollar fun fest! 😍 Actually, her sweet curls make the hat look positively boring. 😂 Marzie is the granddaughter of my dear cousin, Linda, who is also a famous crochet model herself: New Orleans Winter   I have a long term love affair going on with accessories. 🤩 The original post was just the beginning, Silly Hats .  I keep adding to this collection: Crochet Silly Hats   And more are on the way - stay tuned for a swamp wedding themed p...
