Happy Thanksgiving!!
Well, I don't have any amigurumi to post, but I do have a poncho to post (I keep calling it a shawl). It's my version of a prayer shawl. It's for a friend of the family that is having a very difficult battle with cancer. So I hoping that a little extra love is just what she needs.Well, the energy anyways. So I hope all is well in the world you live in. Happy holidays!

Robot Pattern

Ok! Here it is. Someone asked for it so here ya go. I have to put out a disclaimer, I wrote down the pattern as I went along, so there is no really guarantee that it is perfect. but you can always e-mail me with questions or just improve on the pattern. Good luck, good thoughts, lucious merriment, and as much obsessive yarning as humanly possible! Ciao!

The Dishes

P.S. And please, (just to cover my butt) I did think of this recipe. It is of my own creation. I would appreciate it if it would not be sold (blah, blah,blah) or dolls made from the pattern not be sold. People are more than welcome to freely give out the pattern, or dolls as you see fit. That part I don't care about. But if someone's gonna make $$, I'd like it to be me! I need the cash just as much as the next one. I mean of course I need the cash, it's not like this is the cheapest hobby on the planet (well if you like to make blankets)!! Ok! So now that I feel like an ass, (Copywrites. You know I'm not trying to be a b-i-t-c-h about this, but I guess I do feel the need to say something. Please don't take it personal), please have as much fun as possible making as many robots as possible!!

Oh and please share your finished robots! I would love to see them!

So I leave you with happy thoughts, lusious merriment, and as much obsessive (amigurumi) yarning as possible! Ciao!

Good Day! It has been quite some time since the last check in. Well, I guess I should fill you in:

I'm not sure about y'all, but I have a very hard time yarning when the weather's nice. Doesn't matter what kind of yarn I use, I just have no desire to do so while its hot.

Then, in mid- July, my son was diagnosed as being Diabetic. He was 2 months shy of turning two years old. So I guess needless to say it kinda turned my world upside down. My husband and I almost lost our child.

It definitely sent us for a loop, but all is well now. My son is happy and healthy. And other than the fact that his pancreas doesn't function properly, he's as normal as any other two year old (at least as far as other mommies say).

I know this is supposed to be a blog about yarn, but I need an outlet. This was the most traumatic situation I've ever gone through. And I've been through some pretty icky sitranarios (situations/scenario).

But hey, we all have our path to walk. Rylan was a great baby. He was 'perfect.' I think I was waiting for something to 'go wrong.'

But I can't really say, now, that there is something 'wrong' with my baby. He's just diabetic. Yes it's hard sometimes (about 1 week out of every month, go figure!), but he can still lead a typical childhood. It's not like he's got some sort of severe allergy, or something that would make me have top shelter him for fear that if he gets a cold he'll die. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried if I'll be able to teach him how to care for Diabetes properly so I can see my baby have babies.

That's what I think about. So that is why I haven't been yarning or blogging for that matter. I did notice, however, that there haven't been too many people blogging on Amigurumi-Along. I feel like it's pretty safe to say that most people don't like to yarn when its warm.

But on a lighter note, I have made a couple of things! I've made two robots of my own design, and I made a 'turtle' hat. It's pretty cute. And hopefully, I'm be able to sell them locally. I might even start an on-line store. But my confidence level isn't exactly where I think it needs to be to try to go out and ask people if they want to buy something. But I think I might have a lead on a store that would take my stuff on consignment. Lets hope for that.

I hope all is well in your world! I leave you with good thoughts, luscious merriment, and as much obsessive yarning as life will possibly allow! Ciao

Well, it's been a minute or two since the last time I blogged, but hey, such is life right? I've been busy. Really I have! I started working at my local coffee shop. The woman that was preggers had her little boy. He was born Monday May 15 at 1:34 am and was 7lbs., 12oz. He is beautiful! He had all his fingers and all his toes, two eyes and a nose! Can't ask for much more than that! His name is Graeme (Gram). It's a traditional (don't quote me on this) Celtic spelling. I think!!! But regardless, it's a family name from the daddy's side. And I am just so stoked for them! And I bet their little girl (she's 4) is just absolutely thrilled to finally met her little bro!

But enough about that! I finished another bunny! I thought that the first one was so cute that I had to make one for me or rather my house. My son really likes the bunny and likes to give it hugs and kisses! Next, I think I'm going to make a giraffe. There is a great recipe in the book I have. But I think I just may have to make two at once (well you know, make 4 arms, 4 legs and what not) since one of my best friends wants one really bad. She really likes the bunny, but I don't think I want to give this one up. I'm pretty stoked on this guy. And now, since I made the one bunny for Francee at work and a couple people saw it, I need to make like 4 more. Which makes me feel so good that people want what I make, but man, I gotta lot of work to do. And that's not including my house work (which I'm totally avoiding right now)!!

But anywho... I've babbled enough for this day on this forum! Hope all is well in your world, as all is great in mine! I truly hope the best for any and all who read this! And as always...happy thoughts, luscious merriment, and much obsessive yarning!!! Ciao

Yay!!! I finally finished her!! I would like to formally introduce to you.... Lil' Miss Bunny Rose!

She is a gift for my friends' daughter. The one that I made the bear for; yeah, her. She's just about due. I think she's got like about a week and 1/2 left. And she just quite working. We were joking tha tshe was going to have the baby behind the counter (she works at my local coffee shop, which I am now recently employed!). But I think we all know how gross that would be, so I think she's done working for a bit. And I think I'm done blogging for the night. It's like almost 11pm and I have to work tomarrow. Ok, so it's not until 1pm, but I still have to work around the house! In fact, I think I'm going to mop the floors and maybe bleach my counters! Oh sounds fun huh! I bet you can't wait to hear the out come of tomarrows adventures!!

So, as always, happy thoughts, luscious merriment, and lots of obsessive yarning! Ciao
