Little Purple Angel Piggie

I would like to introduce the little angel piggie,


It was a challenge for me to make the wings, I was thinking to make a 3-D (stuffed) wings, however it wasn't come out good, so I ended up make them as a flat piece.
It has a natural curves so it actually turned out pretty nice :D

If anyone likes the wings I would like to share the instruction to you :)

Thanksgiving!!

Finally, finally...I have some time to take a break!
thank you thanksgiving hahaha...
I finally can put all my thoughts together...



October Bride


I have tried a new way to make the dress...
pretty good I think

This time I have added a little necklace, actually I think it is a great idea for giving out jewelery on a doll like this as a package (like this one a bracelet can be her necklace).
pretty sweet stuff :)

I have been working on several projects...

Sometimes I have too many ideas then I like to work on several projects at the same time.
Kinda funny eh? :P


Play around with my camera when I'm bored.
This little light is from Ikea...I have all 3 of them...sooo cute :D


Finally it's done!

busy...........

I've been so busy from school... projects and tests...
wow almost can't breath! x_x

I got my feedback for my first sale on Tuesday...
I'm glad that she likes it :)
thanks again!

Although I'm so busy...I will still work on my projects when I need a break
and share updates with you guys

There are soooo many talented amigurumi makers around us!
I got an group invitation from flickr today...
Amigurumi Animal
pretty cool, I love to look at other people's creations, they all got different character even though they were from the same pattern. (Actually it is very difficult to see two very similar creations! Mostly everyone has their own "recipe") ^_^

love it love it love it~

ok, time to work... >_<
bye for now
