This one did not take to long and is still really cute, after having taken on so many big or hard amigurumi projects it feel really nice not making anything to big or complicated. I think it turned out good even thought I had to improvise making the eyes. It's a bomb-omb from the super mario games.

I've been working so hard on this Totoro, now it's finally finished and I'm ecstatic. When making it I was very critical and scared of failure and now I'm all like “Aw it's so cute!” The hardest part thought was definitely the ears, I remade them close to 13 times just to make sure they would be about the same size. All together I've spent maybe 3 hours on finishing up the Totoro this week.

This one was a lot harder to make then I thought it would be. Since it's so “skinny” it is hard to crochet evenly. But I'm still pleased with the result even if I happen to think it would have been even cuter if I had been able to get a hold of glue gun eyes as in the original pattern.

When I made my first amigurumi, I made this kind of small amigurumi bunny. When my friend saw them she said "I want a green one!", So I made one as a Christmas gift for her. These bunnies are really simple and cute, great for beginners. Although I specialized this one a bit, such as making the pattern bigger since I had a thin yarn and making the ears bigger.

Creativity

I was surprised to see that the Totoro turned out bigger than I thought it would be. Meaning that it would also demand more work to finish it. And the Totoro also turned out to be more of an challenge then I thought it would be, the pattern demand that I crochet in ways I really haven’t tried out before… And of course, new things are harder then things you’re used to. But still I’m happy to see how it’s coming along, it’s the biggest and most advanced thing I’ve done so far and. Yet, the amount of yarn used astonishes me, I have already used up two balls of yarn and it will probably be like 3-4 hours of chrocheting.

I'm also really happy to have finished the panda neko girl. Since I was really worried of failing since I didn't have a pattern I'm really pleased that the only thing that turned out bad was the fact that the hood became to small. This feels really great because it means that I can make my own patterns and not just work by instruction sort of... I also think she turned out really cute and similar to the amine character it is suppose to be.

This week was also the second time me and Åsa worked on my cos play costume, I think it's going forward pretty quickly but that might be because we're still working on the white and easier part. I'm afraid there will be a lot of hardships with the blue dress. But now we are finished with the top of the white dress. Even thought it was a time consuming job to sew buttons on it...

This Sunday was the second time me and Åsa tock on sewing my cosplay dress. After sewing on buttons and such we finally finished on the white top part for the petticoat. We worked for maybe, three hours and next time we’ll start working on the skirt thing of the undergarment.

I finished another amigurumi. This one took a lot of effort since I had no pattern for it so I had to improvise quite a lot. The hair was especially hard since from the start I had no idea of how to make it and once I figured out how it took a lot of time, precipitation and yarn. Anyway, I finally fished and it became really cute. Sadly After attaching the hair the hood suddenly turned to small...
