Went to Spotlight last Saturday after class to look for beady eyes and plastic noses. Chanced upon a section with lots of St. Patrick’s Day merchandise. There were hats and clover shaped wands which were wrapped up in packs of 4 so we didn’t play with them.

At the level with the cinema, the promotional space for Rule #1 (horror movie directed by Kelvin Tong) was really horrifying. There’s a wig and a severed hand covered under a white sheet which looks really gory if you caught the scene in the corner of your eye. x_x

And here’s my second amigurumi creation. :) The rabbit turned out like crap. Lol.

I recently discovered Amigurumi dolls on Etsy. It is a Japanese art of crocheting little stuffed animals.

Eager to learn how to crochet, I bought a mini crochet hook and some cheapo yarn from the craft shop at JP. I learned only enough to make Amigurumi dolls (mainly single crochet and decreasing). Wahaha. :p I also bought the two patterns below from Etsy. The bunny ears require me to know how to do a half double crochet, so that’s my homework for today. :)

I couldn’t find the required materials at the craft shop at JP and the lady was being pretty rude about knowing nothing about Amigurumi dolls. My colleague kindly pointed me to a shop at Bukit Gombak. I bought 3 balls of yarn from her and the required hooks. It’s a bit out of the way for me, but I like the lady at the shop, so I’ll drop by to get more materials next time. :)

Here are some of my favorite shops on Etsy that sell Amigurumi doll patterns or just the dolls: anapaulaoli, thetokicafe and AmyGaines.

I dreamt of multi-colored bunnies sleeping in a box. Inspiration for my next layout. :)
