What did one bat say to another? Let’s hang out. What did the other bat say in response? What a fang-tastic idea! Okay, who doesn’t love a good pun? I love puns and I also love crocheting spooky cute themed amigurumis. I’ve designed a few Halloween-inspired amigurumis but I never made a bat. I think I was hesitant to make a bat because I didn’t want to use black yarn. But the beauty of amigurumi and crochet is that you can use any colour you like. So last weekend, I grabbed my hook and some yarn and got started on these. I love how the little wings wrap around the body, not all the way around ..read more

Remember a couple of weeks back, I crocheted chocolate chip cookies? And what drink goes well with cookies? Milk of course! I just had to make a glass of milk amigurumi to pair with the choc chip cookies. I think they look adorable together! Milk has a way of bringing me back to my childhood. Chocolate milk that is. I have very fond memories of drinking Magnolia chocolate or chocolait from the glass bottles. It was a very exciting morning when we received the Magnolia delivery. Oh, those were the days! Free pattern and video tutorial below. Crochet along with me, watch the video tutorial: Gl ..read more

Meet Ollie the Quokka! When Simply Crochet magazine reached out to me late last year to design an Australian animal for their upcoming supplement issue, I was beyond excited. Of course, I couldn’t turn it down and because it’s Australian wildlife, I couldn’t wait to get my hooks working on a quokka! Ollie’s pattern is available in Simply Crochet magazine, issue 122. Out now. I’ve always wanted to design another Aussie animal. There’s Alfie the Koala, KC Koala and Mama Jill and Little Joey Kangaroo. Now I can add a quokka to the collection! There’s still plenty of down under wildlife out there ..read more

Easter is around the corner so here’s a quick and easy project for you – a cute sweet little bunny! I really love how simple and adorable the bunny turned out. Makes me smile everytime. They really look sweet don’t they? Like marshmallows especially if you use pastel colours. But of course, one of the beautiful things about amigurumi is you can use any colours you like for your projects. What are your traditions on Easter? Not too long ago during Easter Sunday, we would run an Easter Egg Hunt for my kids and their friends. The house would be filled with so many giggles and lots of chocolate a ..read more

Can you believe we are almost at the end of 2021? This year went by so fast. Well for me anyway and it will be Christmas time in less than three weeks! With that, let me introduce you to my final design for the year. Alfie the Christmas Koala! Isn’t he charming? When I sketched my Christmas design this year, I wanted to incorporate my home country of Australia and what better way to represent that than with the most iconic Australian animal!  Now I know some refer to them as “koala bears” but they are actually not bears. They are in fact marsupials. This means that they are born inside ..read more

Are you ready for Halloween? It is right around the corner. Will you be trick or treating this year? Perhaps the mood is very different this year unlike previous years. I’m excited to be hosting this month’s ami-along over at Amigurumi.com with my newest pattern, Trick or Treat Timmy. You’ll get to make Timmy, his ghost costume, his little jack o lantern bucket and some sweets/lollies. Maybe we can’t go trick or treating, but we’ll have Timmy do that for us!
