Some Amigurumi...

I've mentioned before I'm working on display pieces for an Amigurumi food display for this summer at my library. I finally have a few moments for some pics....if I can get them to work....

Some of my favorites so far....

A "Dagwood" sandwich...while not as impressive as a real Dagwood, I love it. It has bread, ham, cheese, bacon, tomato, onion, lettuce, and pickle....with an olive on top. ;D

Bell peppers in a variety of colors! I've since made another green one. :D

A small variety of the veggies I've been making. This includes potatoes, carrots, chili peppers, tomatoes, and squash...

And some fruits. This pic has the apples, oranges, lemons, limes, and strawberries. I've also added plums and pears.

More pics some time soon.

Enjoy!

Woot!!!

This month's TABABOM pattern is UP!!! And guess who got to be a sponsor for this month's prize?  Yep, me.  How cool is that?

You can check out Fandom In Stitches for this month's pattern and see pics of the prize!

Also, if I get a break tonight, I'm going to post LOTS of pics of the amigurumi project I'm working on!!! Nearly 25% done!!!

Huh...

I really thought I posted an entry last night. But it seems either I didn't or it got eaten...

No worries.  Basically, I was just excited to tell all 1 of my readers that I am currently at the 20% mark for getting this HUGE list of amigurumis done for a display for my library. :D

I'd share photos today, but the interwebs at work are having issues with social media websites. New filtering system is blocking a bunch of things it shouldn't be blocking. :(

Plans for March...

A few things on my plate for March....

-- Work on amigurumi display I mentioned...with nearly 600 pieces planned for it, I need to be cracking on it.

-- Work on trade piece and finish.

-- Make 2 pillowcases. Can't say more on that...

--Make at least 2 more SS character squares.

-- TABABOM next week!!!

--Finish scrap piece for Linus

Whew, I'm tired just READING THAT!!!!

*needs sleep*

Crochet musings...

This year's Summer Reading theme at our library is "Reading is SO delicious!"

Makes me want to make an amigurumi display.

And I started a list at home...with check boxes ...

Harry help me, I'm a fool for this craft.

I think what I have in patterns alone right now, I have enough for a rather full fruit basket, a veggie basket, and several "dishes" of foods....but I've been thinking, maybe I need to find more...

Oh, dear...I've given myself a new project...

Also? Why can't I....

reply to comments? Do I need to change a setting?

Busting stash...

I like the idea...but sometimes, it really goes against everything I am and do to stash bust. You see, I am the type that plans out my pieces, picks the yarn and knows at the end of the project I will have a bunch of little balls of yarn that I won't know what to do with until another project comes along.

Or maybe I break out the amigurumi books....

That said, I've been doing some stash busting with the Project Linus's Sideways Shell pattern. It's a fun and easy (and if you know what you are doing, a QUICK) project.

I think on Sunday, after I get the first floor cleaned up a bit that I will consider going through my stash and planning out how to finish the patchwork piece I'm doing....

Then maybe I can get around on Monday to working out a piece that's kinda in my head, kinda on paper...

Then I need to pull up the other patterns I drew up for Linus Connection...and pull the yarn for those.

Man, I wish I liked putting granny squares together....but I just DON'T....

What do you think of granny squares?
