Just a quick post to show you a new variation of my Phat Cat. This has been sitting on my shelf for two months already. I just considered it unfinished, as he doesn’t have a tail yet. I was ind...
The idea for this was actually started by my mother and brother. They said that my amigurumi were very cute, but I always gave them away without any branding. “It would make them look even bett...
Finally! After almost a year, I managed to finish the crochet part of my Hexagon vintage-feel bag. I say crochet work, as the bag still needs to be lined, but as I have no idea how to do that myself,...
