Friday…already???

Hello sweeties,

It is friday already and we are in August. Time really flies and sometimes I just don’t realize how time is passing by so quickly…

I am crocheting a lot these days and that makes me really happy and takes all the stress away 🙂

I told you in a previous post about that special order of a pink wood stool…

… I’ve began the crochet-granny-squares-cover of it…

pink-stool-wip2

and I am very pleased with how it is turning out 😉

And guess what? I finished my very own amineko. Yes, this guy, this mustard guy is totally mine…

(This mustard color is my favorite of the moment. I used to hate, yes hate this color in the past…now I love it 🙂 )

I love his wide eyes open. He seems very curious about everything just like myself 😀 😀

I crocheted it with a thinner yarn than the previous ones. So this one is smaller …

two-together

and guess what? Hubby wants one 😀 😀 hahahaha and he already chose the colors 🙂

But he’ll have to wait because I have to finish the stool cover first 😉

Life is good my friend… Enjoy it… Enjoy every second of it…

Wishing you a wonderful weekend with your loved ones

Thank you for visiting!

    Hello Angie,

    Love to you!

    I love your Aminekos, I love them so much that I bought a book.
    My question is – do you put little balls on the bottom of hands, legs and rear end, I am affraid children will bang themselves with it in the eye …

    Your blog is wonderful place to visit, evry visit is special event and thank you so much for it!

      They are indeed adorable. When making play objects for children always be careful with what you stuff them with. Unless they are older (8 and up depending on the child) I would recommend not to use beads as they might come out and be ingested or stuffed into noses etc. I used to stitch on the eyes as well instead of using beads/buttons. Just to be safe, but you know the child best you are making it for. One lucky kid to get one of these : )

    Angie, I love your little Amineko! What size yarn and what size hook did you use? You are so clever and so talented! You truly do inspire me to get out of my comfort zone and try something new 🙂

    Angie, I have been popping into your blog for some time now and just love everything you do and also your tutorials. I recently used your graphic square pattern and made a doily. I joined the squares with your zigzag join. Just wanted you to know how you inspire me! Always look forward to seeing what you are crafting.
    Thank you.

    I love your aminekos.

    I am looking forward to seeing the covered stool.

    I have had a long break from crochet as my finger hurt but I am hoping to start again soon. You inspire me to get the crochet hook out again 🙂

    Dear Angie, your aminekos are sooooo cute! My sister made one for me last year and I always wanted to crochet one for a friend. Your pictures just reminded me of that. Thanks for sharing your great crochet projects! Cheers, Sonja

    Hi there, loving your work, gorgeous designs and inspiration. I’m trying some moss stitch edging on my blanket and finding it tricky, but will stick at it as it looks beautiful. Pop over and see my blog http://mix-ture43.typepad.com or fb page MixTur43 when you get chance. Would love to see you there. :o)x
