Mini-Mini-Amigurumi and altered match-box

A small present.... wow, all I do lately are bunnies ;)

Thanks for looking.

Another Mini-Mini Amigurumi dog

Finally finished! For my dear Mimchan ;)

I still think the pattern is quite strange...

Mini-Mini Amigurumi bunny

 I made it for a small private swap. This bunny is nothing new as I already made a few of them, but this time I made him a small bunny tail :p Somehow I never did this with the bunnies I made before.

Mini origami cranes

These are the smallest I can do. I made them as part of a fun little swap :) The biggest mistake oyu can make  is using paper that is too thick. With thicker paper the last step will become impossible hard to do!

Thanks for looking! I know I'm incredibly lazy (not only) crafting wise, but 2012 just isn't my year :/

Mini-mini Amigurumi dog

I wanted to try out this pattern for a long time and...wow this was quite a lot of work.


I don't know...I never get the snouts right when seing them on.

pink bunny and altered match box

It's been months since I've done a mini-amigurumi and also months since I last did an altered match box.

Since I love pink bunnies I did this little fellow and a carrot to keep it happy ^^



But it also needs a place to live, so I made a little room in a match box. I made the striped and checkboard pattern, printed it and simply glued it on. I added a bit of black water color to give it a used look. The box itself is covered in black jeans fabric and a little lace at the bottom.





The furniture is made out of normal paper covered in acrylic lacquer. The table is cardstock and wire for the legs.







Like (nearly) always I didn't spend a cent making this =)

Thanks for looking!

New amigurumi

After I spend hours yesterday figuring out how to save the cross stitch pattern I wanted to do something else and finished those three cuties :)

I actually don't like how the bunnies turned out. I think I made a few mistakes and I kinda messed up their faces... >-> At least they are one of a kind XD





I went to the flea market today. I bought a few vintage postcards that were quite expensive... And I don't think I'll use them for ATCs since they are genuine post cards with written text and all. The text is really hard to read but I want to try to deciver it...I'd feel really bad cutting up a personal text somehow ^^;
I also got a figure display case for 3€!!! There were still some figures inside. Some porcelain cats, snails and a rabit, as well as some tin stuff! I wanted a display case so badly after I saw so many beautyful modified ones at craftster!

Amulet bag swap

Yesterday I completed my first swap :)
It was a private swap with a friend I know from university and she was so nice to visit me yesterday. No shipping costs for both of us. We both like the cheap ;p

We made amulet bags for each other and filled them with fitting items. I wished for a bunny themed one and she wanted one owl themed one or one that fits her character Ayla. I decided for the later because she send me the cutest pics of some owl-cats.

Inside were a little blank book, an owl-cat inchie, a random lil pendand thingie and an owl for luck I had bought in Japan as souvenir.



This was the most time consuming piece... It's crotcheted and has button holes all along so that the wearer is able to change the size.



There are the paw-shaped buttons. I couldn't find small enough buttons in our button-box so I made them myself. They are made of simple paper and covered in acrylic paint. Cheap and easy :)



The inside of the little blank book.



And now what I got!
We actually had the very same idea for the bag :D
I love the little heart.



And it has a cute fluffy bunny-tail!



It was stuffed with all this cute little things. The cactus was an extra, but I had to include it here because it's so cute :)



Tiny, tiny bunnies <3



This is actually my favourite. Miriam painted it to look like my dear bunny I had for 9 years and that I loved very much.



Thank you very much :D !!!

Mini-Amigurumi

Done with a 0.6mm hook and normal sewing yarn.

I saw tiny amigurumi at etsy and was completely awed by them. I had to try them out, too! There are also practical for me because I have tons and tons of sewing thread and nearly no crotched yarn. I love cheap!








Kitty! I wish I used different yarn...it was the first one of the bunch I did and I used thicker, more stiff yarn because it was easier to deal with.


Chick without the egg shell.


And the owl. The eyes and the feet were the hardest part >->



My newest one is this little turtle. I think he turned out very cute :3





Right now I'm doing some bunnies and want to finish another turtle next.
But I'm so very slow...I can't crotchet at all if I'm not in the mood.
