The urge to craft has come back with a vengeance. I am totally besotted with amigurumi right now and have been itching to create a design of my own. So here's my first one which was inspired by the birds from my blog banner.
Introducing my chubby little bird, Tweedle.
He was created in the traditional ami method of single crochets worked in rounds. His wings were a little more complicated, using half, single and double crochets. Mum helped me design them while she was here at Christmas.
Emily is asking for one in pink so I'm going to be make one for her room that is scented.
Oh my gosh Rozzie!!!!!!! How cute is he???!!!!!!!!!!
Hee, hee... too cute for words. Emily is so lucky... I want one too!! ;o)

I've designed 12 plush puppets and saw them created...which was awesome! Your bird is adorable!!! I like the combo of crochet and felt. I can't wait to design something after I finish my daughters purse and sweater! I'll post them, too.

Hi! I saw your work at the SCBWI in NY a few years ago and we have corresponded a few times. I still like checking out your blog once in a while - it's always refreshing and fun! My middle daughter is learning to crochet and I showed her your little Tweedle. We love it! My 3 girls want to know if you are considering making a whole bunch to sell in an Etsy shop or anything. (I like sewing but never mastered crocheting!). Maybe someday one of us will be coordinated enough to create one of our own. Very cute! Thanks for the inspiration!
