Cross Stitch iPhone Case Part Deux
Here’s the second iPhone case I made.
I decided not to include any words on this one and just let it be more subtle! I love the way her hair came out!!! :) :) :)
Here’s a comparison of the two iPhone cases side by side. The black one is Leese and the red one is from ZuGadgets. The cross stitch designs are my own of course :).

Cross Stitch iPhone Case
After my mom’s needlepoint case, I had this crazy plan to buy a million Cross stitch iPhone cases and cross stitch something for all of my friends for Christmas. Cool idea…in theory. In practice, I would have had to think of this back in June to get everyone done along with all the other things I’m trying to do. So I settled on making 2, one for a friend and one for my...

allaboutami:
Can you believe it’s almost been one whole year since we released an original amigurumi pattern/design (Snuggles the Penguin)? Thank you for being so patient with us, particularly since this blog is called “All About Ami [gurumi]” yet we haven’t made many in recent months. Being…

The Family Cross Stitch
After getting the hang of designing and cross stitching my own pattern, I wanted to make something a little bit larger and more complex. With Christmas around the corner I decided to make something special for my Grandma-a cross stitch family portrait. She and my Grandpa had 6 children, 2 that have unfortunately passed as did Grandpa. This was my homage to when our family was whole.
Notes:
I...

Cute Drawstring bag in 30 minutes or less
Aren’t these drawstring bags awesome?! Click the image above to be redirected to purlbee.com.
After taking an “Intro to your Machine” class at my local Stitch Lounge, I was ready for my first solo project (I have done other projects under close supervision). I had tried using my Necchi 4575 once before and I was convinced that the backstitch mechanism was faulty because it...

allaboutami:
While browsing the many lovely images on tumblr, I came across a picture of a beautiful chunky crocheted basket. I was delighted to see that a free pattern was available through a wonderful blog called “Crochet in Color”. Liz has three free patterns for baskets, and I decided to try this one

All About Ami: Crochet Slippers Part 1 →
allaboutami:

Stephanie from All About Ami has an AMAZING crochet blog. Seriously, if you’re...

All About Ami: Link →
allaboutami:
I have so many fond memories of playing “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” on the N64 back in the day (in 1998 to be exact!!!). Time sure flies by. I remember staying up late during the summer nights as my brother and sister led me with the player’s guide, instructing me on where I should go…

The book that started it all...
Creature crochet was a kit I found at Barnes and Noble right before Christmas 2011. When I was younger, I was always fascinated by crafts kits and I remember buying a bracelet making kit but I don’t think that lasted long. In any case, I decided to pick this little kit up and see what this whole crochet thing was about.
I’m so happy I did!
Funny enough, I have yet to make a...

Dabbling in Japanese crochet
Look what finally arrived from Korea! I wanted to make 2 little kitties for my mom for mother’s day but I couldn’t find a cat pattern I liked. I totally fell in love with Lemonstale’s cat below but I think she decided to opt out of not posting the pattern.
In any case, the little yellow cat on the cover of Cats and friends is adorable so now I can finally make one! Small...

Day to Day: Shannen's Despicable Me Minion Pattern
Shannen from Sweet n’ Cute Creations has a pretty nice minion pattern. When I was searching for patterns to make a minion, many of them were for larger sized minions (see All About Ami or Wolfdreamer’s). I prefer to crochet small amigurumi so this pattern seemed to be a good fit. Here are my day to day notes:
