Unicorns

Have been busy making unicorns for orders and decided to try making a mini unicorn with lace yarn! It is challenging to make due to the small size and my fingers hurt from all the sewing but I am very satisfied with the results :) The mini unicorn is only about 2 inches tall including the horn and look so cute!

Happy New Year!


Happy New Year! 2015 had really gone by in a flash for me! Had lots of wonderful support from a lot of people for my amigurumis and I am really grateful for it :)

Hope to create more designs in 2016 and catch up with my long queue of patterns that I want to write. Also hope to be able to start my amigurumi workshops this year :) Looking forward to the new year!

Cute Version of Singapore's Merlion for 2nd World Amigurumi Exhibition

I am participating in this year's World Amigurumi Exhibition too.

World Amigurumi Exhibition vol. 2: Crocheted Culture Celebration! will be held from 11 Dec 2015 - 29 Feb 2016 at Resobox in New York. Each contributing artist is required to submit a piece representing their country and so there will be over 100 cultural pieces from 46 countries :)
This is the piece I have come up with : cute version of Singapore's Merlion in Singapore Flag colors!


Do drop by the exhibition if you are in New York. Admission is free. Visit http://resobox.com/amigurumi-world-15/ for more information :)

Kito the Fox

Finally finish making a fox I wanted to do for quite some time.


Spent quite some time figuring out the best way to make the cream chest area and am quite satisfied with how it turns out! :)

And I am finally on Handmade@Amazon! If you do not know yet, Amazon has opened a handmade section just last weekend :)

Need to spend the next 2 weeks working on amigurumis for the upcoming Public Garden market and amigurumi exhibition in New York!

Captain America and Princess Leia

My friend had requested me to make The Geeky Hooker's version of Princess Leia and Captain America he saw on http://www.boredpanda.com/crochet-pop-characters-monsters-geeky-hooker/
and I finally finished making them.


I have a request for the patterns and have gotten permission from the original designer to share them so I will be tidying up the patterns and sharing them soon! :)
