Amigurumi keychain and Going 30's

Hello pixies,

My post title speaks about what I'm about to share to you in my blog entry today. I'll be writing about my new amigurumi creations and a post birthday celebration I attended last Monday.

Let me start with the amigurumi keychain first. Amigurumi is one of the things that I enjoyed doing. I'm an "all about arts and crafts" type of person and it's no surprise if I often post about these stuffs in my blog. My latest adventure with crocheting was making stuff toys with the help of some crochet yarn and my basic knowledge with crocheting. I've had posted several samples of my works in my past blog entries but none of them were keychain.

Lately, I came up with the idea of making a key chain or bag charm for my aunt and grandma who lives in Canada. I used the bunny pattern I bought a while back and inserted a chain and circular hook so it can be used as a key, wallet or bag accessory.

I also plan to sell this kind of keychain soon in my etsy shop. However, I have also added another keychain item on The Winking Fairy store and this is an Adventure Time amigurumi keychain. The character I did was Jake. I'm going to make a Finn keychain too but I need to find the right pattern for this first.

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake is one of my favorite shows and that's the main reason why I decided to create this keychain.

If you're interested in purchasing this item, you can check out the item here.

Also, last Monday, I met up with my college friends (our group name was and is still called "Angels") what a unique name right? Haha

Recently,one of our friend turned 30 years old. Since we didn't get the chance to celebrate her going on 30 on her actual birthday, she set up a lunch date last Monday. Only 3 of us (not including her) were available on the date she set but we still pushed through with the plan.

It was such a great day to reminisce about our college days especially the days we had our practicum at a local radio company where we learned a lot of things while having fun.

That's it for now. Hope you have a great day/night ahead! May the odds be ever in your favor! :)

It's Fab Feb

Manila weather is slightly shifting from super cold to super hot. This means that summer is fast approaching. I don't have any summer vacation plans so I've been thinking of things to do to occupy my time. Anyway enough about summer, let me share what I did last weekend.  I spent most of my time bonding with my niece. I haven't seen her since last Christmas and I missed her so much. I taught her how to play chess and we also played game apps from my phone and tablet.

So the month of February started few days ago, and at the beginning of the month I wrote an article about Gifts for Men. I discovered a lot of items that I myself wanted. I'm not a guy but there are some items I mentioned there that can be given to ladies like me as well especially if you're into games, books, and gadgets. For those who want to have ideas on what to give on cupid's favorite day, head over to my hubpage account linked at the sidebar.

Alright, if you've read my other posts, you'll know that I'm fond of amigurumi nowadays. My first attempt was a success and so I continued doing so. I made some revisions on the bunny pattern to make a bear ears instead of bunny ears and I'm proud of its outcome.

These two are of the size of a key chain or key charm which I'll be giving as gifts for friends. However I didn't put any hook because these will be used as doll props. I decided to start selling these kinds of amigurumi in my etsy shop so if you're interested, watch out for it.

I also searched for crochet free patterns for amigurumi projects and found an easy owl pattern for beginners like me.

Since I don't have a yellow felt cloth available in my craft kit, I used a crochet thread to make the beak part instead. I'm happy that it turned out okay and it still looks like an owl.

Have a great day! May the odds be ever in your favor!
