The beluga whale pattern also comes with a free bonus pattern to make a baby beluga whale! Each pattern is available individually, or buy the complete AquaAmi Set 1 for […]
I haven’t quite finished the AquaAmi patterns yet (I need a few more photos for the instructions, so I’ll need some more daylight for that). But in the meantime, to whet your appetite even more while you wait, here’s my baby beluga whale with his mummy: He’s turned out just as sweet as I’d hoped […]
AquaAmi are in the works… I staged their photoshoot this morning, complete with painted sea/sky backdrop and fabric rocks/sand.

Well, now I have the opportunity to do something about that: This bunny started out as a failed attempt to make […]
What a way to ring in the new year… Two days with much snow and no internet access wasn’t exactly what I’d expected! I’m back in action now and I’ve caught up with all the pattern orders, but I’ve still got some e-mail to sort through. To make up for my poor pictureless post yesterday, […]
