You Tell Me What's Better Than, Food???



First off I've been M.I.A for quite a long time, guys.

Well, here goes. What's better than food, you got it Miniature Foods! My cousin needed some things to accompany a small grocery buggy that my mom gave her a few years back. First of all she never puts anything on her desk. So, I decided to surprise her with a bunch of goodies. I tell you sooner or later we are only going to be able to afford food this size, if prices keep going up. Anyway...






The shopping cart has a Oprah Magazine and an Essence Magazine, 3 bags of Potatoe Chips (including Limon Her Favorite),

box of Celestial Seasonings Green Tea (another Fave),



a Crochet Apple,

a Mrs. Smiths Apple Pie,

Here's the back of the Pie Box......

a Crochet Steak,

Everything came out very well, being that I made up things has as I went along. Thanks for looking.

Knock, Knock, Here's your Pizza Scarf.........

It's been a long time. Why don't you have a slice of pie. Here is a little something special that I made my sister. She loves odd things. She has been home for a few weeks and she wears it everyday. I have been quite busy. I started a Etsy page, but have yet to put anything on it. Knitting has also become a challenge to me, I think that I am finally getting the hang of it. My current W.I.P is a scarf in the purl stitch (the only stitch that I know at the moment). I'm also getting prepared (& nervous) for a Crochet Workshop that I shall be teaching in the beginning of February. If anyone has any tips to help me with me class, please let me know.

Wanna a bite?

Same Thing, Different Day....


Okay, so I think that by now it is obvious that I am addicted to crochet, hence my yarn obssesions. Anyway, now I am addicted to youtube. No the two do not necessarily mesh together. So, imagine my amazment when found some spanish yarn commercials.





Guys, let me know which one you like the most... I think it was very cute.

I got it to work, Thanks Debb

Surprise, Surprise....

Look at the treat that I had waiting on me when I got home. I'm only mad that I am getting to it so late, because I can't start on anything. Sorry for the bad pic, still using my camera phone. I so high tech, ya'll.

This is a book by Beth Doherty of "Gourmet Amigurumi", containing all original amigurumi patterns by Doherty. Now, I read a couple things last year that amigurumi means "a stuff toy, stitched (crocheted or knited) in a round". In her book Beth gives a detailed break down of the meaning of amigurumi. Here it is as she puts it in her intro--(not word for word)
"Amigurumi-pronounced ah-mee-guh-ROO-mee, Ami is short for the word Amimie meaning "stitch" in Japanese. Gurumi is a hyphenation of the Japanese word Nuigurumi, meaning "stuffed doll or toy". Anyway, if I have to pick a favorite(s), it somewhere between Strawbeary, Beat Nik Kitty (Hep Cat), and Fawn. Enough with the book report , just go out and pick up a copy of this book.
