Roy

Imagine how delighted I was the other day when I opened our fridge and found this little guy sitting inside. My friend Becky made him for my flatmate's birthday, and they decided to call him Roy. If he was my cake, I'd feel guilty about eating him :( I love his little googly ladybug eyes!

Amigurumi

Amigurumi is something I've wanted to try for a while. I might see if some nice person on Freecycle has any spare wool and crochet needles for me. Going to have to wait a few weeks to finish all my uni work before I start a new project, but being able to craft my own adorable little squishy pals is something I'd be willing to have a go at :)

Meanwhile, I'll just have to look at other people's efforts...

These happy little pineapples are available to buy, along with other kawaii goodies, from KatUno's blog, at http://katuno.com/blog/ They remind me of holidays, being on a sunny beach with a tropical cocktail....

The second one on my wishlist is this adorable mug of hot chocolate. I love his rosy little cheeks and the way even the marshmallow has a happy face. So cute ^_^ The design is from the book Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet.

Latest Buy

While I was scouring charity shops for fancy dress accessories, I found this guy perched high upon a shelf, for a bargain price of £2.50. How could I resist? He's wonderfully fat and cuddly, now all I need is to find a place for him to sit :)

My things

While I don't have a lot of kawaii items in my house (yet!) I thought I'd share a few of the ones I do own, what are hopefully the start of a lovely big collection!

I bought this cute owls photo album just before Christmas, from Boots. What's even better about it is that it was in the 'Buy two gifts get one free' offer so I didn't pay a penny for it :)

One of my favourite things is my Hannari tofu mobile phone holder. I bought him off eBay and he comes in a range of colours. He keeps my iPhone all safe and snuggly while I sleep :)

Welcome!

Hi everyone, welcome to my new blog! Not much to report at the moment, am looking to learn crochet so I can start making some adorable amigurumi but I'm pretty hopeless at that kind of thing, will have to ask my nanna for some tips! Will hopefully have new things to add fairly regularly, another thing to work on is improving my computer illitaracy so I'll be able to add lots of pretty pictures and links to my entires.

Looking forward to seeing you soon
Claire ^_^
