Best present!

For Mother's Day my husband bought me the best present - two amigurumi crochet books:

Amigurimi World and Amigurumi Toy Box

These are the cutest books with the cutest ideas ever! I think I squealed out loud at some of the pictures and couldn't WAIT to make them!!

I've made 4 already from the books and I wanted to share them with you!

I fell in love with the bear and wanted to make it right away for me!

I used some left over "mermaid" colored yarn I had from another project.

He fits perfectly in my purse and loves going on adventures.

I then let my kids pick out something they wanted me to make them.

My son picked this duck with a bear hat and named him Gunther.

My daughter wanted me to make her everything in the books!!!

She finally settled on this duck and named her Sophia.

She has also requested that I make a bear and kitty hat for her!!!

Finally I made this polar bear!

I love that the patterns come with hats for the animals!

This pom pom hat made this polar bear EXTRA Cute!!

I can't wait to make more of them!!

My mom gave me a gift certificate for mother's day and I got 17 new yarn colors!!!

What amigurumi have you made before?

Do you have a favorite from these books?

Or do you have a suggestion for another book I need to check out?

More bear hats!!!

Isn't this just the cutest polar bear??

I also had a request from a friend for a bear hat for her. Here is my daughter modeling it for me.

So glad there are so many people who like these bear hats!  

Another Beat Hat!

Bear hats are SOO cute and I love to make them!  They are the easy project I can make in one evening!

Here is the newest polar bear hat I made for my bestie's youngest baby.  

Maybe she'll send me a picture of him wearing so I can share it with you all!!!

I love hats

One thing I have loved making is hats! They are easy, fast and make great gifts!

I had made a bear hat for my nephew when he was born and my sister requested another one since he has gotten just a little bigger now. (why do babies grow so fast????) 

I couldn't say no of course and made two cute hats for him!

He has a new bear hat and a mohawk hat too!! He is so punk rock!!!  

I used this awesome crochet pattern from ravelry and added my own touches with the ears and hawk.  

Isn't he the cutest????
