The Leo's Amigurumi Rabbit Family

Keep Creating!!

I still be eager to make more rabbits. I think Jack and Adele are cute enough, but I am sure I can make the cuter one than before. I want to make Rabbit Family for my friend's son as 1st birthday present. He is sooo cute baby, often make me smile with his laugh :-) I think he is a cutest boy in the world!! :-D

I started to make a little one. So sad, I forgot to take a process picture :-( I named him Little Lui. Wearing a yellow jacket, he looks like baby rabbit.. :-) 

Lui Amigurumi Baby Rabbit

May be, you will ask me about the yellow jacket pattern. The pattern is absolutely similar with the basic rabbit pattern before, I just make half of the basic pattern, then joined both together. Btw, I think the dog's and cat's nose material that I used at Lui's are too big, but I didn't get smaller one at the craft shop.. so.. it's oke.. it's cute enough..

Then, I made Lui's father and Mother with thicker yarn to get a bigger rabbit. I named them Daddy Leo and Mommy Celly.

Jack n Adele Amigurumi Rabbit Couple

Happy Crafting!!


Today I want to share with you about my craft that I made 4 months ago. I made it for my boyfriend to celebrate White Day. Honestly, this is the first time to make amigurumi for me. In the beginning, I am not really sure that I can make it, and I think that my first version was ugly :-( . But, the pattern is so clear, and sooo cute too, that was make me to not give up to understand the pattern and try to find my mistakes. If you want to make it too, you can download the pattern by click the link below : 

http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2011/04/craft_pattern_spring_bunny.html

Look at that picture above!!  That is Terrible!! I hate it!! :-D

I think I was wrong about the eye material and the nose!! I can't follow the making of nose instruction. So, I bought plastic dog's eye and plastic cat's nose from craft shop. I thought it will be easier. I change my yarn material too. I used thicker yarn than before. And... tada!!! It's really better!! :-D

I named him : Blue Jack 

Btw, in the link pattern above, the hat and shawl are not included. I will share with you about the pattern. 

Blue Jack's hat :

R1     : ch 2

R2     : sc 6 in the second st from hook (6)

R3     : 2 sc in each st (12)

R4     : *2 sc, sc 1* repeat 6 times (18)

R5     : *2 sc, sc 2* repeat 6 times (24)

R6     : *2sc, sc 2* back loops only, repeat 6 times (24)

R7-11 : *2sc, sc 2* both loops, repeat 6 times (24)

R12   : *2sc, sc3* front loops only, repeat 6 times (30)

R13   : *2sc, sc4* both loops, repeat 6 times (36)

R14   : *2sc, sc5* repeat 6 times (42)

Roll the bottom up

Blue Jack's shawl :

R1 : ch 25

R2 : sc 1 in each, start from second st from hook (24)

tie it around Jack's neck

I made girl version too with pink yard. Luckily, I am still saving the making process photo :-)

start to sewing!!

Pink Adele is ready to go shopping.. :-D

Btw, Adele's shawl pattern is same with Jack with longer version (40 ch). I sew three pearl in the middle of blue rose at Adele's head.

Together... :-X

I wish Blue Jack and Pink Adele live happily ever after :-)

Dweney Tiny Dog

Today is Dwi's 8 th birthday, wish you all the best, Dwi!! Dwi is my friend's daughter. She is a nice young girl. I like her.. :-)

Btw, a couple months ago, I got a little dog amigurumi pattern from a website. I think it was a great great idea to give her amigurumi dog key-chain. It will be useful for her!! Btw, if you want to make it yourself, you can download the pattern by click this link below :

http://reliquaryarts.blogspot.com/2008/09/say-hello-to-my-little-friend.html

The pattern is not too difficult. You can try it, may be in different color and material. I will share my version here. He is so cute, isn't he? I named him Dweney... similar... with Dwi? Hahaha... I think you can guess... :-D :-D

Dweney's Head..   He is cute already :-)

every part is done!!

I am already playing with you!!

Huk!! Huk!!  

Ohh... I am trapped!! Please... Dwi... help me!! :-D

I wish I will enjoy Dwi's birthday cake tomorrow.. haha :-D

Granny Square Pillow

A Few months ago, my friend gave me a crochet granny square pillow pattern from her Japanese Crochet Book. I thought it was a great idea to give my boyfriend something I made, something that he will remember me every time when he wants to go to bed. May be, will I be in his dream? Hahaha… I will.. :-D 

It is very simple. I used three color of thread: light blue, dark blue and gray to make 18 of granny square. Then, I joined it each other. But remember to not join one line on the back to make a hole, then you can put some button along the hole line. Btw, the dacron material that I used, I bought it from a supermarket.

I am sorry that I can’t show you the pattern, because it is not mine. But if you have a granny square pattern, I am pretty sure that you can make this pillow too...  :-)

Pearl Blossom Yellow Card

Saya mulai menaruh perhatian pada Paper Quilling saat teman saya yang sudah expert mengajarkan saya cara membuatnya. Ternyata cara membuatnya tidak serumit hasilnya, tapi memang membutuhkan imajinasi dan kesabaran :-)


Kebetulan, saat itu saya ingin mengirimkan kartu untuk seseorang yang special. Heyy... kenapa tidak saya praktekkan ilmu yang baru saja didapat.


Mulailah saya membuat bunga dengan berbagai ukuran dengan kertas HVS berwarna yang dipotong memanjang dengan lebar 4mm. Di tengahnya saya letakkan mutiara kecil sebagai pemanis. Saat membuatnya, sebenarnya saya tidak tahu bagaimana seharusnya dirangkai. Tapi semakin lama. saya semakin yakin bahwa bentuk hati yang sedang saya kejar.


Setelah bentuk hati selesai dirangkai, saya menempelkannya pada sebuah kartu yang sudah saya lubangi sebesar hati paper quilling tadi. Dan hasilnya... cukup cantik khan untuk pemula seperti saya? Guru saya pasti bangga!! Hahaha... :-D

Pink Carnation Hairtie

I made this carnation hairtie as a gift for my friend. I tried to use some unused acrylic thread to begin crocheting this stuff. I didn't expect it to be a giant carnation flower before, but the hook I used for crocheting was too big ( no.7 ) for such little hairtie, so the result looks like a big carnation in blossom.

 Btw, I like it!! This is my special gift for my special friend :-)
