For my contest entry for Walk on the Wild Side I wanted to create an animal amigurumi that I had never seen before. While doing some research online I came across the Aye-Aye, a little lemur from Madagascar that is at one time the cutest and creepiest animal I have ever seen. Right now I am trying to figure out if I want to make my amigurumi life-like or cartoony. But if you want to see something interesting, look up Aye- Aye’s in Google images. They are crazy looking critters. 
This is my newest pattern for sale on etsy! She is 4 inches long and snuggles nicely in the palm of your hand. I experimented with the background for the pictures. All of the comments I have been getting in my pattern give away say that my pictures need work, so here is my first attempt to make them more fun, kawaii, and interesting. Hope you like her!
Dim Bulb Amigurumi Pattern
So excited! This is my newest pattern that I posted today for the first time in my etsy shop. I got the idea for them this week at Hobby Lobby when I saw the awesome yarn colors. Now my head is filled with other bears that I can make along with their little mascot friends. Sweet and Sour here are just the beginning! I also am planning on posting my free pattern for the month of May this week as well. It’s going to be one of my favorite patterns so I hope everyone will like it!
I wanted to share my work room with everyone. I am lucky enough to have an extra bedroom for nothing at all but my crocheting. It’s painted a very happy lavender color and I just love it in there. There is plenty of room on the shelves to display my finished work, and plenty of room to store my ever expanding collection of yarn. Hope you like it!
