Amigurumi Improvements....

Remember my new thing for amigurumi? Well, I made another and he is much better (and cuter) than the first.

Today was sister #2's 11th birthday. Happy Birthday, "T!"
Last week she was envious of my cat, Cummerbund, and begged to have him (not sure why she liked it so much....).

So, I made another, in orange, her favorite color, and I am actually quite pleased with how he came out. She named him James (again, not sure why...).
He is a cutey-pants. Only...he isn't wearing any. He only wears a tie. And it is massively adorable.


Unfortunately, now siblings 3- 7 want amigurumi animals and sister #7 actually just wants THAT very one, from the birthday girl. She yells "Jeemes! Jeeemessss!" ("James") repeatedly until 'T' hands it to her. I guess I'd better get busy...

Creativity; both curse and blessing. :)

Hopefully, I will be able to improve on this Japanese art form and get some up on Etsy/Artfire. Then you can get them for all the children in your lives!
