💛 Cute and quirky crochet creations
📍 Bay Area, CA
🥢 Bao Patterns out now!

Things will be okay. 🌞 If I’m being honest,

Things will be okay. 🌞

If I’m being honest, it’s been a tough couple of months. Managing my anxiety has been a struggle. But.. you wouldn’t know just by looking at what I choose to post, right? 😄

I’m learning a lot of coping/calming strategies as an adult bc they weren’t available to me as a kid.

And I’m so grateful I have the opportunity for that - and for counseling and community. Talking things out to process them is definitely uncommon for my parents’ gen (esp. in the Asian culture) and so I feel super lucky to have the chance to work through things.

With that being said, I hope this can act as a friendly nudge to spread a lil’ love to those around you! Check in with a friend or give a word of encouragement to someone random 😚

And back to our regularly scheduled content… yeah, that giant purple chill pill is worried he blends in with the background. Pls tell him it’s ok 🥺

And… happy faja’s day! 💛

✨Gertrude Dish Scrubbies✨ I haven’t shared

✨Gertrude Dish Scrubbies✨

I haven’t shared much about my Korean heritage here in comparison to my Taiwanese side… so here’s my first go at it!

Anyone who’s Korean knows these scrubbies, or 수세미 (soo-se-mi) are a STAPLE in their households!

I remember as a kid how all the ajummas would gift each other these during the holidays 😂 they usually came in the form of a crocheted strawberry, a dress, or other cute shapes.

These scrubbies get nice and bubbly and don’t hold odor like normal sponges do… I decided to make my own and I can testify, IT’S TRUE!

It’s tough to find this kind of yarn in America so I’m glad I spotted some by @redheartyarns 💛

Bye bye stinky moldy sponges 👋 Tell me! Have you tried these before? Or WOULD you be curious about trying them?

this quick, 30 min. project will result in a stress-ball sized bao, perfect for cuddling (or throwing at your enemies).

*note: it’d recommended to only use blanket yarn with this pattern. the dimensions will be off otherwise!

Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Baoby, Baobette, and all their baobies are celebrating :) are you?

@bitty.bao gifted my little one with the SWEETEST bilingual books ever! My bitty babe LOVES them - thank you so much!

*correction* DBF IS celebrated in Taiwan but I didn’t know- so I really enjoyed learning about it in the book that's all about it 😁 If you'd like to party with us, take 15% off with the code "BITTYPAPAYA" until the end of the month.

What's it all about? "The festival commemorates the life and death of the famous Chinese scholar Qu Yuan, who was a loyal minister of the King of Chu in the third century BCE..." (thank you Google)

Bonus: It's also a tradition to eat ZONG ZI on this day!! Swipe for a throwback. It was such a lovely free pattern by @faye_clover :)

Day 30 of #amiguruMAY2021 - Spring 🌷

Spring is so beautiful in Northern California. It’s when everything is lush and green and when the weather starts getting nice n’ toasty again 🌞 (though we don’t get snow where I live, it does rain quite a bit!)

Maybe you’ve seen our three little buds appear on your feed before!

A couple of months ago, @olliehollycrochet , @autumnleaflet and I hosted the #bloomingbudsCAL . I talk a little bit about the planning process and the birth of “Gertrude the Grumpy Chick” in the podcast @peachfetti invited me to 😉

You can listen to it and find the free pattern for my ajumma chick in my bio 🌷

Here’s a compilation of some of my pink makes! Had a hard time thinking of which one to share first... when in doubt, simple is better! I’ve really been loving the plain ol’ embroidered face 🙂

Day 27 of #amiguruMAY2021 - sHaPeS!

The nice thing about amigurumi is that you can “sculpt” your creations like clay. With a few increases here and there, you can make anything!

Here’s a quick illustration I made to show how I improve my patterns over time.

I usually jot notes of things I want to alter as soon as I finish photographing them so that my thoughts are still fresh in my mind.

Roald here was my first Animal Crossing pattern and has a special place in my heart. He got so much love from a janky video I took of his unfinished self summoning his orange onto his head! 😂 but he looked a little too pidgeon-ish in my opinion so I made some changes to the pattern to make a more oval-shaped head. (I’m my own harshest critic!)

Now to format it ☠️

Day 26 of #amigurumay2021 - Big or Small makes?

I tend to favor small makes bc I like working with intricate details... but lately, I’ve been working on these jumbo creations for an upcoming art fair. I had to reevaluate my marketing strategy for the event and I’m glad I did because creating jumbo things has been so much fun!

This is my collection so far! Which one is your favorite? 😁

Bobby the Bao pattern will be released sometime next week. Turn on my post notifications to get alerted 💛

Also, shameless plug. I’m in a podcast! 🎉 check out my bio for the link.

Day 23 of #amiguruMAY2021 - Winter ❄️

Last Winter, I decided to host my first CAL, #curiouspapayaCAL ! I had a pretty small following and wasn’t sure if I’d even get any participants... but after about a week, a bunch of submissions started pouring in 😭

I’m not sure about other parts of the world... but the pandemic last year sparked a hoarding frenzy where people were going crazy over toilet paper. There was a huge shortage!

Sometimes, humor gets us by. Lots of folks shared how this funny little ornament made them laugh/brightened up their days. Even with something small, I’m so glad I was able to help encourage and bring people together. 💛

I was also super grateful for the amazing artists who sponsored the event with prizes. It was a fun, holiday-giveback!

Check out my stories and highlights to see everyone’s creations 💛

Day 22 of #amiguruMAY2021 - Something Blue!

I furiously freehanded this Squirtle-chub a couple of weeks ago in time for my baby’s “doljabi” celebration for her 1 year old birthday.

I’m glad I did, because she LOVED him!

Bulba-chub was the first to catch her eye but she quickly diverted and insisted on changing her choice. (That’s allowed, right?!)

Looks like she’s gonna be a water girl, just like mama. 😅🏝

Day 21 of #amigurumay2021 - My Happy Place!

Of course you all know how much I enjoy crocheting/designing, so I thought I’d share my “other” happy place - the ocean!

Pre-pandemic/pre-baby, I loved traveling - especially to tropical destinations. Hubs is a deal finder and we’d use points/deals to plan our trips 😂.

In 2019 alone, I traveled to: Hawaii 3x (weekend trips thru Southwest), Mexico, Michigan 2x (not tropical but for two friends’ weddings), and India (through my church). Oh how I miss it!

These pics are from our honeymoon from a few years (and many pounds) ago 😆 we went to Bora Bora thru Costco Travel and it was 100% worth it! I loved being able to swim from our bungalow to the dining area for our breakfast and seeing wild sting rays 💛

My hubs is a certified diver but I absolutely hated it the one and only time I went, so I stick to snorkeling on the surface 😜 it’s so magical to be surrounded by wild sea turtles, dolphins, HUGE manta rays, and all kinds of tropical fish. I can’t wait to get back to it all.

The ocean reminds me how small we are and there’s something so humbling in that.

Day 19 of #amigurumay2021 - Books or Digital Patterns?

Bobby and his partner Bobette are discussing some very important news... the release of my digital pattern 😆

I love the convenience of digital patterns especially because you can pick and choose exactly what you want. But there is something so special about my physical pattern books!

Like many of you have mentioned, the smell and the texture of the pages can’t be beat 😂

It’s a goal of mine to publish my very own crochet book someday. I have absolutely no idea where to even start but am hoping to dive into the process soon! If you have tips, I’d love to hear from you! 👀

Yellow, such a bright and cheerful color! Thanks everyone for tagging me in your makes of my sweet grump today. My heart is full!

(Sidenote... I heard that it’s not recommended to paint a nursery room yellow because it makes the baby go crazy 😬 haha have you heard of such a thing?!)

The Gertrude clan is slowly coming together! These jumbo ‘Trudes will be adoptable at the art fair I’m participating in next month. Come thru if you’re in the Bay!
