Spring

Spring is here. Not only can you tell by the weather...its 60 plus today, but our schedules are so crammed full of stuff that I haven't had time catch my breath or a minute to blog.
I have been working on quite a few things. First, a blue baby blanket for a coworker due in June. I also made these fruit ami's from Ana Paula's book.
Lastly, the gals over at the ville remarked how much my first tiger ami looked like a mouse...soooooo, Ta Dah!

The other cool thing that happened this week was that we had a mini-shopping event in our school library . Lots of the girls encouraged me to bring a basket of my ami's to sell, so I did. Long story, short...I sold 6 of them. WooHoo! I made a whopping $42. But I'm happy, now I can get my toes done and thes's enough left for some more yarn!!!!! LOL

Prom Night

My oldest son had his Senior Prom last night. Here he is with his date. I think they made a cute couple. Notice my son chose to wear all white. Guess he wanted to stand out. :)

Here is the whole group they went with.

Here's the proud mama and her baby.

Tiger Ami #2

I used the pattern from Ana Paula's book: Seriously Cute Crochet. At first I thought he was kind pf cute. But now the more I look at him, the funkier he looks. *sigh* There is not a cute tiger pattern out there. I have worn out the keys on my keyboard trying to track one down. Any suggestions?

Tiger Ami

A friend of mine at work is a huge Auburn University Tiger fan. So I searched the internet until I found a picture of an amigurumi tiger I thought I could replicate. I don't know how much like a tiger he looks like, but he's cute. If you know where I can get a pattern for a tiger ami, please let me know!!! I'll gladly purchase one if I need too.












On another note, 2 of my original patterns are now being linked to CPC(CrochetPatternCentral) I'm published! They are the Ghost! pattern and my Spider pattern.
