Starting a gift for someone, but it's a rather odd request to me. It's for a platter of ami sushi. It's fun to make though. Will I make it in time for the holiday?

There! Finished just in time. I just feel like I need more. This is a first for me. This was a great idea.

Not-so-stuffed Ami Mushroom Pots

So long since I could do any amigurumi. Thanks to a pattern written in Chinese (with a schematic drawing), I started this hand-size ami mushroom pot. Since it's not stuffed it can hold little things. For this I used a 4.5mm hook and leftover Redheart chocolate and cafe latte in 4-medium. It's almost done.
(It could be mistaken for an acorn)

Someone dear to me lost their pet pitbull to the authorities. He awakened to find that they had taken it while he was asleep. I've never had a pet taken from me. I just wonder how it will feel when I give him this adorable ami pitbull?
While these dogs can have a certain nature they still have an adorableness to them.

Just as I started to adjust to autumn's chill I received a visitor from the chilly north. This adorable ami husky is my early winter visitor, reminding me that more chills and even snow is on the way. I'd better start crocheting my winter mitts!

After my first round (see Round 1) I could not resist making ami pups. More pups are just around the corner (Book source: Ami Ami Dogs). I've been working on a welsh corgi, mini dachshund, mini schnauzer, and dalmatian amigurumis:

My three penguin babies have flown the coop! They have found a better home. :(
They are ami penguins. A gift to me from Japan. Difficult to make because of their size and so many tiny parts. >O<
I'll miss them!
Just as I was packing the trio a replacement tiny ami bird came my way to void my loss.
hello cute birdie.

Ami doves: Tweetle dee Tweetle dove
by

- 9:31 PM
A fancy title for a work-in-progress, Tweetle dee Tweetle dove is about a bright colorful group of birds. They're shaped sort of like doves and more colorful. Just getting started on the first one using some leftover bright yellow cotton from my first nursery mobile. Who knows, maybe it'll become a nursery mobile.

I'll admit, this work has been in progress since May 12. I'm happy to see it all put together.
