Year of the Dragon - New amigurumi pattern in process!!

(Again I apologize for posting so late my last posts, my camera battery failed and I had to go editing the pending posts yesterday and today. Thank you for your understanding. For me it was really hard not to publish the posts, only because I haven't the images ready.)

Happy day 22!


Last days I've been seeing on blogs and facebook, that the whole handcraft community celebrates the Chinese New Year, with objects of all kinds, but especially dragons! This year is the Year of the Dragon, and I got the inspiration to make a new amigurumi. But I must admit that I'm having a lot of work to get the pattern. I usually start by the nose when I make animugurumis (animal amigurumis), that is what gives more personality to each toy. And I have taken several tests to find the final form, as I wanted to lower the nose, the belly of the dragon started and then to continue it throughout the body, as in the traditional Chinese dragons drawings I found on internet . What do you think? Do you like the deffinitive muzzle design? I hope to end it tomorrow, to write the pattern, and share it with you!

Happy day 21!

Wow! I am amazed at how quickly people have begun to know me. I still not have followers on the blog. But I see that if I put my mind I can make my voice heard. I decided I had to do something if I want people started reading me, because without you, reader, I am nothing. So I focused my efforts on creating a Facebook page, add people and blogs I've been finding, and are also handcrafters, start commenting on their posts, add a couple of manic amigurumi groups on facebook and post there My pattern of Mr. Wolf, to post on a couple of crocheters forums, posting my pattern in my Ravelry account... It was a tough job, but well worth it! The stats of my blog will grow at a fast pace!


So, it sounds repetitive, THANKS TO ALL MY NEW VIEWERS! It is a great support that you appreciate my work and come take a look. I know my blog is still small, but I promise to care and maintenance it, always with all my love and dedication, and grow every day, to share with you this great adventure to be blogger!

Today I saw this spectacular sunset when I went to Barcelona this afternoon. So niceeee! ^___^ I love sunsets pics!


Yesterday was a big day! I posted my first amigurumi pattern, and Cat Cattery from The Crafty Cattery, the owner of one of the wolves patterns that I posted yesterday, left me a comment! Cat thank you very much! You gave me great joy! And thanks to all who have entered the blog to meet Mr. Wolf and watch all my things... I very much appreciate your interest! Hope you liked the pattern, and many new Mr. Wolf born all over the world! I'd love to see them! I await your comments! And if there is any mistake in the pattern, please let me know! Or if you do not understand something, ask me, I'll be happy to help you! I am preparing a version of Mr. & Mrs. Wolf special for Valentine's Day, how much I ends them I hang pictures.

My two last purchases of this month! And finally the DailyDonut365 notebook printed test!

Happy day 17!

Now suddenly, get together the last two packages. But the truth is they were the 2 orders smaller than I did, so at least I can finish off my monthly shopping with a post worthy. ^___^


In the first package I received 2 more stamps, and 2 small styrofoam circles, because I want to do with a baby crib mobile. I ordered on Etsy's Sunday's Market. Jamie, the seller, is a nice person, and very friendly seller. She also sent me, as a gift, a packet with some cute tags! Thank you very much Jamie! I recommend you take a look from time to time at her store, always has good deals!


And in the second package I received the order I made to SupplyShop1 on Etsy too, in box coming some jumprings of different sizes, 100 plated alligator clips, and 50 ring bases. A store with very reasonable prices!
