How To Crochet a Sunny Side Up

 

Wishing you all a very blessed Easter from my family to yours! 🙂

Here’s something that’s Easter Egg related, sort of 🙂

 

 

 

Here’s a simple step by step diagram on how to crochet a sunny side up! 🙂

 

Happy Easter, my friends!!! 🙂

Back to Being Mrs. Captain Hook

Cute Vietnamese doll I bought in Ben Thanh Market 🙂

 

I miss my crochet hook so much.  If I’m not holding a makeup brush, I’m probably holding a beaker making perfume.  And now, as I look back on our photos during our trip to Vietnam with my husband, I remember the cute crocheted dolls we saw… I so want to pick up my hook and create my handmade creatures once again 🙂

Last year, I was obsessed with making superheroes… I think this year will be different.

Super cute amigurumi dolls in a small bookstore in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam 🙂

Fell in love with these Vietnamese amigurumi dolls 🙂

Thinking of making Filipiniana dolls 🙂  Time to research… Think Maria Clara or Jose Rizal 🙂

Picking up my hook in 3…2…1…

Have a great Tuesday everyone! 🙂

 

My Amiguru-Minis

 

Lately, I’ve been crocheting smaller dolls.  I realized they’re much simpler to make than my big dolls.  I call them my amiguru-minis 🙂  I used almost the same pattern for the superheroes and just made everything smaller 🙂

They look like chubby baby superheroes 🙂

Mini shield for Captain America 🙂

Here’s a yuppie zombie I made based on the pattern of Christen Haden’s book called Creepy Cute Crochet 🙂  I just added arms and legs.

And since I’m such a fan of Game of Thrones, I crocheted my favorite character, Jon Snow.

“You know nothing, Jon Snow.”

Can’t wait for the fifth season 🙂

And finally, I was able to crochet Elsa, a character the litte girls love.  I haven’t even seen the movie! Haha!

Just to give you an idea how small these doll are… Here is cute little Erin holding Elsa 🙂

I’ll be making more of these amiguru-minis 🙂  Stay tuned 🙂

I really want to do more characters from Game of Thrones but their costumes are so detailed.  Oh let’s see what I can come up with 🙂

Hope you all had a restful weekend 🙂

 

 

Chinkee

Here’s a short post to brighten up this gloomy Monday 🙂

I just wanted to share with you all my latest handmade creation, her name is Chinkee.  I wanted her outfit to be a simple black dress so she will always be in style, ready for her meetings 🙂

I also made her two necklaces.  One is a key and the other is a keyhole heart that says, “made with love”.

Chinkee is probably the happiest doll I’ve made so far.  Hihi… 🙂  She’s one of the few who has a smile on her face.

Have a great week ahead, my friends, from me and Chinkee! 🙂

The Googlees by Crow’s Nest

My latest project was a set of twelve toys.

They were inspired by one of my favorite arts and crafts item… Those googly eyes 🙂

These two gentlemen are my son’s favorites.  They were inspired by the band called, “The Lumineers”.

I am so into stripes right now.  Turned these dolls into DJ’s in stripes 🙂

More striped googlees 🙂

My personal favorite….  Two cats and a bear in hats and scarves 🙂

My son loves them all 🙂

This was one was inspired by my handsome husband.  Hahaha! 🙂  This is his usual get-up when he goes on his Sunday bike rides.

And this is Snow.  We both love big glasses and bags.  Can’t have enough of those 🙂

Watch out for my next set of twelve 🙂

Have a great week ahead, my friends! 🙂

 

 

 

My Handmade Little Caterpillar

My latest handmade project was a hat for an 11-month old baby 🙂  I asked my 5-year old, Crow, to try out the hat. Hehe 🙂  It still sort of fits.

The hat is based on the book, “The Hungry Little Caterpillar”.  Also one of my son’s favorite books when he was a baby 🙂

I had a lot of fun making this hat.  Basic shapes and basic colors.

I love braids 🙂

It was a beautiful and sunny day to photograph this caterpillar…

And my handsome son 🙂

Hope you all are having a wonderful time with your families during this Holy Week 🙂

Happy Monkey Monday, everyone! 🙂
