Google / Picasa

It has finally happened, I have always known that users of Picasa are notorious for exchanging pattern books and patterns, I thought one day my patterns would become victims of such acts and it did became true yesterday, thanks to one of the fellow amigurumi artist informing me of this (I had wonder why my Etsy views went up in the past few days), six of my patterns were on an exchange list. I was happy and upset at the same time. I was happy for that my patterns are actually popular enough to be consider as one of the wanted version, and I was upset for that my patterns are being pirated. After receiving such news, I filed complaints to Google/Picasa (I am pretty sure other amigurumi artists have done the same), and the matter was resolved within the day. Thanks to Google/Picasa for taking such fast action. So if you see your work on any Picasa exchange list without your authroization, don't be afraid to file a complaint.
Come to think of it, I should do a pirate bunny amigurumi. :D

The details on these cute little critters are amazing, you really have to take a closer look to appreciate Mandi's work, she is such a talented kawaii artist. Now comes the hardest part.... deciding which one to keep for myslef :D

Pooch Bear

After my first boucle bear, I wanted to try using different boucle size yarn to make similar bears... and here is my Pooch Bear, crocheted from Patons Pooch boucle yarn "Wheat Field" (hence the name Pooch Bear), I am very happy with the result. :D Enjoy and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday....

(BTW, miniMouse is a muskrat mouse and he does not like to be bothered.)

WeeFuzziBear no.3 and no.4

It is my pleasure to introduce to you my new WeeFuzziBear no.3 and no.4, they are both at about 3.5 inches tall, and are crochet from Italian made eyelash polyamide yarn.
No. 3 is in a shade of pretty light yellow with sock yarned owl hat.
No. 4 is in a lovely red with (OMGosh) bright yellow fuzzy chick hat; I have also darned the back post of safety eyes on fuzzy chick hat so they do not show..
and they each have their own companion miniOwl

fuzzy panda hat

I am always drooling over all the cute (animal) hats that are available on Etsy, either in patterns or already made items. Since my guys are not into hats, I don't think they would want to wear them if I made those cute hats in adult versions, so I was thrilled when a request came to make a fuzzy panda hat to go with the plushy bunny....now I am itchy to make more fuzzy animal hats..... :D
