📣Tester Call 📣 *edit: closed. thank you!!*

It was so hard keeping this project a secret… I’m excited to be able to introduce my little guy - Meet Lex the Lion! 🎡

His life motto is, “you can’t be sad while eating cotton candy.” 😜

You can find his pattern and get everything you need to make him in @crochetsociety ‘s box 36.

For my June spotlight on a pattern from another maker… we have Opa!!!

Fell in love with this grandpa from @amigurumidotcom ‘s newest book, #lulaandheramigurumifriends . Such an adorable character made by @grannyscrochethook and @nourillu 💕

This was probably the most detailed project I’ve worked on to date. Many tiny little details went into him! He’s waiting for the perfect day to show off his beach bod 😆

Day 22 of #AmiguruMAY - Books 📚

It’s still a long-term dream of mine to write my own ami book one day! For those who have been following me, I actually began the process of talking to publishers last year but then tabled it due to returning to full time teaching.

I have so many ideas but finding the perfect team to help execute my visions will take time… I just gotta trust the process 😅

In the meantime, here’s a snapshot of some of my favorite books - including my newest one that just arrived, Lula and Friends 🌞 super excited to make something from it!

Books by: @lespetitesmainsdekhuccay @lana_choi1229 @socroch @picapauyan @eleonoreandmaurice @grannyscrochethook @nourillu (can’t find the IG handles for 3D Granny Squares)

Day 21 of #AmiguruMAY - Bright colors 🌞 my cuppa tea!

My daughter must get it from me since yellow is her favorite word and color 😂

Giant amigurumi is so much fun - I noticed the interest in crocheting sky rocket over the past year by the high school/college-aged population… (sounding old eh). And I have a theory that it’s been largely due to the influence of social media and the popularity of giant amigurumi :o

Anywho, it definitely makes me happy to see this craft evolving and for more ppl to recognize it!

Check out my testers’ giant donuts - they’re also fabulous giant amigurumi artists! 🥰

Day 19 of #AmiguruMAY - Creepy or Cute?

Well… I am team cute if you couldn’t tell by now 😅 I’m quite the wimp when it comes to skulls, gore, etc.

Weenston is the creation I made for the #spookycuteCAL I had the honor of co-hosting with some friends last year. He resulted from someone’s lunch that went bad 😱

At the time, I did not anticipate for him to make so many smile! 🥲 he and I are truly humbled. Check out my stories for an old reel that I didn’t expect to go viral haha

What other than a giant panda could be more fitting for today’s prompt?

This beloved panda plush was so fun to make. I have ideas for a giant sloth in mind!

Day 12 of #AmiguruMAY - Keep or Gift?

When I first began crocheting, I really enjoyed gifting my makes! However, I quickly learned that a very select few people actually appreciate handmade items. I guess I prefer keeping/selling.

Reading everyone’s posts from today’s prompt makes me think that the majority of crocheters like to gift their items 💕 I definitely feel like I have a stone cold heart 😂

Or maybe I could say that I value my work being valued 😄 which is why I was really touched when @lulusweetkawaiishop reached out about a custom order of her OC, Lubo!

While I normally don’t accept custom commissions, I felt a sudden spark of inspo and decided to take on the challenge.

He’s made out of blanket, velvet, and chenille yarn + hand-sewn felt details. And as you can see… he’s also big on going GREEN ♻️💚

How do you feel about keeping/gifting/selling?

Day 9 of #AmiguruMAY - Most Recent Make!

Awhile ago, I spontaneously asked in my stories if anyone wanted to join me in making Luisa the Elephant from @picapauyan 💕.

It was super fun to just crochet for ourselves and to ENJOY it! 😄 (I often get caught up with pattern writing and deadlines) so it was a refreshing break.

I loved the sense of community we built in our group chat, sharing our progress photos + ideas for color combos. Please join me again in the future 😁

Day 6 of #AmiguruMAY - Yarn + Hooks

My yarn shelf definitely doesn’t look as pristine as it once was, so y’all get an old pic that’s IG worthy 😂

My shelf today is filled with more chunky/bulky yarn than in this picture.

i *AM* proud to say that I’ve packed up a lot of the yarn that I couldn’t see myself using… and have passed them onto friends/my students (who are now into crocheting) 😁.

Day 5 of #AmiguruMAY - Maker or Designer?

My answer is… both! I first learned how to crochet by making others’ designs (and I still learn a lot of techniques today when I do so)!

Swipe for a compilation of my makes over the years (including my very first amis). You can definitely see my photography style change haha…!

Designers are tagged in the photos 🥰

Day 2 of #AmiguruMAY - Work In Progress!

Weenston’s sister has been sitting in my forgotten wips pile for quite some time since the inspiration to finish her hasn’t quite caught up to me 😅

But… he’s been quite eager to see her once again since they were separated as pups. I ought to put the gas to the pedal with this one, huh! 🥹

Hello #AmiguruMAY ! 🌞

This will be my second year partaking in this event hosted by @airali_gray and @irenestrange .

I met many fabulous designers last year! Crocheting is still largely unknown amongst ppl in real life where I live (most still ask if I do that “knitting thing” 😂) so it was really neat to connect with people with the same passion!

My hummingbird pattern is now available in my shops. Link in bio 💕

Made with @yarnandcolors and 2.0 hook.

What’s thiiis? 👀

Fun news! I had the privilege of being one of the designers for @crochetsociety ‘s box 36, coming out in June (and it’s available to order now).

It’s been a long time coming and so I’m excited to see it come to fruition 💕 love the playful theme! The projects inside are still a surprise until the box preview.

Check out my designer interview on Crochet Society’s page in the meantime. 🥰
