Voting for the amigurumi contest closes TOMORROW (

Voting for the amigurumi contest closes TOMORROW (12/9) 🤍 thank you to everyone who’s already submitted their entry! If you haven’t yet, you can do so with the link in my bio.

A little tip is to vote on your desktop so you can quickly search for your favorites. (The queue shuffles so it may be hard to find the ones you want to vote for on mobile)!

A little breakdown of the tail technique I used! I made 2 rows of tails and then sewed them on so they alternated on the backside.

When lil chubs refuses to sleep, he goes to work with me. 😂

Thanks everyone who voted early! There’s still plenty of time to check out all the amazing entries 🙌

Some of you messaged me saying you couldn’t find my design - I’d recommend using a desktop and then searching for my name. Much easier!

Going to be sharing some of my faves in my stories ☺️

Embarrassing story time 🫢

Very limited in sharing about my experience growing up as an Asian American in the Midwest in this short video. I had a lot more to say but had to keep it short 😅

Amigurumi and relating with others through crochet has been empowering to me because of being able to share about my heritage through it - a lot of it revolving around food!

I’ve had several “lunchbox stories” - not just this one, and each one used to burn through me. I don’t know why anyone would think it’s okay or funny to ask, “do you eat dogs?” or announce to the whole class in college that my bibimbap smelled like skunk - but you’d be surprised.

People make mistakes and I just hope that we get the chance to learn from them :) I’m glad that I don’t feel affected in the same way anymore. Those experiences helped shape my voice and perspective on uplifting all cultures, and that’s what I’ll strive to do with my own kids when they’re faced with trying something unfamiliar to them.

Thanks for reading 🥲

Gotta get creative in your photo shoots 😂 I love crocs, no shame!

A kitsune is a powerful nine-tailed fox believed to possess the ability to shapeshift into humans.

Here’s my entry for the Cute Fantasy Creatures contest by @amigurumidotcom 🦊 I’m super nervous… it’s my first time competing! Public voting opens later this week 😬😬😬

Here, I designed the Tenko (celestial) kitsune and the Ocean kitsune (there are 13 types total). Hope you like them 🥹

Something non-amigurumi?? It can’t be! 😆

I used Simply Caron yarn in sparkly pink (hard to see in the photo but it’s BLINGIN’) and @lionbrandyarn ‘s amazing Go for Faux yarn for the cuff.

Make them for the whole fam with the two available sizes with the free pattern on Clover’s blog.

Could this be? My first shop drop in YEARS? Yes,

Could this be? My first shop drop in YEARS?

Yes, I normally don’t sell finished
products but I decided to this year for a few reasons!

My makes have been piling up in my storage containers (and a craft fair is not gonna pan out this year) 😅. I would love to find them loving homes!

We are also depending on a single income now that I’ve decided to take the year off… so anything I earn from this biz helps ☺️

I’ll be sharing what I’m listing in my stories over the weekend. You can turn on my story/post notifications so you don’t miss out.

(And depending on how things go, the plan is to drop new items every week for the holidays)!

Jam out and embroider details with me! 💃

Facial details are often what I spend the most time on. I think I cut down 45 min into this short clip 😅

Lex the Lion was a fun project because I was given the colors I could work from + theme… and that was it! No color substitutions which was the tricky part. I’m happy with how he came out and it was fun to get creative with the limitations! :)

@heypaparazzo ✨HONEST REVIEW✨ on the “Olivia

@heypaparazzo ✨HONEST REVIEW✨ on the “Olivia” recording mount PART 2

Okay it STILL got cut off even though I split it into 2 clips. I still have lots to learn with this 😅 the ending that got clipped said, “YES I recommend this product.”

(The FULL clip can be found ok my Tiktok. Link in bio)

Been meaning to share about my experience using this - but if anything, my delay was to my advantage so I could get even more familiar with the product.

As a content creator, having a tool like this is really important. In the video, I cover the pros and cons.

Have you tried this mount? What was your experience with it?
