As a few of my subscribers may have noticed I have been working on my Adventure Time crochet update for a very long time. It would've been done much sooner if I wasn't so lazy. I'm also sad that I couldn't get a Marceline done because I couldn't find yarn matching her skin tone. Although I'm also wrong with a lot of the colours in a few of the characters I couldn't find any yarn close to Marceline's skin colour.
Video for thorough...

In preparation for Halloween I decided to make a tutorial on a candy corn amigurumi. I've never actually seen a candy corn in real life and I think this is pretty normal for Australians as a lot of us don't celebrate Halloween, but I've definitely seen my fair share on American shows and other things.
Materials:
- Yarn in yellow, orange and white (I use 8ply)
- Crochet hook no larger than 4mm (I use 3mm)
- Stuffing (I use hobbyfill)
- Scissors

It's been a hard challenge but I've done it even though I'm about 4 days late.
Don't think I'll be able to handle another challenge like this for awhile but it was fun while it lasted.
I actually had about 4 things related to kpop when I wrote a list of what I wanted to make for each day but throughout the month I cut it down to just 2 xD I also changed day 31 from Kyu from Super Junior to the EXO badge so it was kpop either way...I can't help...

I recently discovered Bary san while looking through the Line app's sticker collection and thought it was really cute that he carries around a boat xD The only thing I know about him is that he is a mascot representing the city of Imabari (Ehime) in Japan. I thought he would be the perfect candidate for my next felt tutorial so here we go:
Please use this template in order to follow the tutorial:
Notice that I didn't add the eyes since...

These 10 days have been super hard to keep up with to the point where I even left day 12 to last minute because I honestly don't have a favourite felt colour since I'm mostly crochet oriented and ended up just picking my favourite colour which is baby blue.
As you will see in the video I made more amigurumis than before, simply because they're just quicker and easier to make for me. I had a complete fail with the coffee using felt as you...

I'll be showing you how to make a cream puff out of felt in the video provided.
It's a very simple, fun and relatively quick project you can make.
It's very customisable as you can choose and different toppings of your choice whether it be strawberry sauce or maybe even fruit or no toppings at all, it's all up to you ^^
What you need will be:
- Scissors,
- Some form of fake chocolate sauce: I used Daiso's glass paint (optional)

During the month of August a fellow YouTuber Annascraftytrends has suggested everyone to take on her plushy challenge which involves making one plush for each day of August with the designated theme she has chosen on her calendar. For more info please check the video down below.
I've decided to update for every 10-10-11 days just so I don't end up with a giant pile to showcase in one go. I am however showing each plush I make for each day on...

From the very beginning I've been very interested in Japanese amigurumi patterns and books. They seem more innovative and the overall quality of patterns seem to stand out.
I had been eyeing this particular book for awhile and decided to cave in and buy it even though the $15.29USD seemed a bit steep for me. I was also wary of the fact that it was in 100% Japanese and I had never tried following a Japanese style amigurumi pattern. Upon receiving the book I quickly discovered this wasn't a problem because there are very clear step by step pictures...
As someone who has grown fond of amigurumi over the past couple of years I've had the dream of making my own amigurumi book but I'm starting small for now.
I've put my Charmander pattern up for sale on Etsy and it being my first time trying to sell anything of this nature I am super nervous about if I've done anything wrong or not made my instructions clear enough.
I'm not expecting any sales off the bat as there are many Charmander patterns...

Hi guys, it's been awhile since my last post. Lifes been busy and I've finally finished a set of amigurumis which was requested by one of my subscribers.
At the beginning I tried making pokemon true to the actual pokemon but after dratini I sort of gave up and went chibi with everything. I personally prefer the way the chibis look but that could just be me.
Added a jewellery piece just because I wanted to make use of my eyelet tool for...

I've been rather busy and not crafting as much as I'd like but I got a request from someone to make a Hatsune Miku in my last update so I gave it a go.
Little did I know it was going to give me hell. For one I have ZERO knowledge of Vocaloids or Hatsune so I had to do some research.
The hair was such a hassle, I tried to replicate my Link hair but sadly failed...
Another problem was I couldn't find any photos of her back so I just gave her vest a...

I've been on a roll with anime/games themed amigurumis but I still need a lot more designs if I want to set up shop at August's Manifest ><
I hope I'm able to attend this year as a trader!
I've mentioned in the video I won't be posting any tutorials for those particular items because they are quite complex but thinking about it I may be able to do the no face.
If you can please let me know what type of design you'd like to see and...

Hello fellow crafters and browsers :D From a few requests I have made a tutorial for my baby alpaca/llama. Please watch the video below and follow whatever instructions I have placed below.
As you can see in the image below I made a very fluffy one that I wanted to use in the tutorial but it was impossible for me to show what I was doing with all the fluff, it's the same as the one in the video though just with a 2.5mm hook and the proper face...

Do have a look at the video to see everything and in more detail :)
I recycled the YouTube thumbnail as I am waayy too tired to try and make anything. The way I edited and filmed was also different and I'm not too sure how I feel about it, I will try and improve my skills...
