Today is my furbaby Maui’s 6th birthday. (Well, we adopted him when he was a year old, so we don’t know his actual birthday, but we settled on this date for him so it wouldn’t be too close to Christmas.) If you don’t know my lovely boy, here he is: Awww, handsome cat! The actual […]

polar bear pattern redux
Looking at my crochet pattern sales over the past few years, one of my least popular patterns has been my poor neglected AquaAmi Polar Bear, and I think I know why… It’s entirely my own fault: I wanted to keep the design in line with the other AquaAmi (who are all about the shaping and have no features […]
‘best of 2009’ award
What a lovely surprise! Out of tens of thousands of projects posted on Craftster in 2009, my amigurumi Lemmings were chosen as one of the 5 best crochet projects of the year. Yay! I’m a Craftster Best of 2009 Winner! In other news, posts may be a little scarce for the next few weeks, as I’m […]

Imagine my surprise when I saw that my own amigurumi Discworld had been nominated – yay! As I continued to […]
‘Worms’ in polymer clay
As I’m a bit of a perfectionist (you may have noticed!) I really struggle with quick crafts, because I want everything to be as good as I can possibly make it. Sometimes that’s not healthy: when even my relaxation time is spent being very careful and striving for excellence, I put a lot of pressure […]
2009: year in review
It’s hard to believe that 2009 has ended and I’ve been self-employed for a whole year already! My resolution from last year was “to give myself the chance to succeed, but to not beat myself up about it if things don’t go as well as I hope”, and I think that was a good resolution […]
