Koala from Edward's Menagerie Book.

2016-10-13T06:10:00.000-07:00

I always in love with Edward's Menagerie book. Today, I want to share with you

the koala that I made.

Once we understand the basics of how to make the body and legs, it is easy to

follow the creation of the other animals. The book has many pictures, good

explanations, I just like it.

I think it is an excellent book for those who want to learn how to do

amigurumis.

So far I have made these three, hope you like them and give you inspiration.

I bought the book at Amazon, below you will find the links( is my store, is an

affiliate link), through my link, you will be able to see pictures of the

different animals that we can create, and you can decide whether you have

interest in the book or not.

Is available also a Kindle version of the book, is a matter of preference, I

like to have a book in my hands.

If you purchase through the links that I provide, I receive a small commission

of the sale at not additional cost to you.
I use affiliate links to have a source of income, for me is a way to devote

myself to the blog, and thus to have a source of money to buy different

products and then share my creations and tutorials with you all.

Because you are what matter most to me, I only choose to promote products that

I love, and that I think that will be beneficial, helpful and valuable to you
and I choose affiliates that fits well within the parameters of my blog.

Edward's Menagerie, is definitely a book to have on hand, and that I recommend

you.

You will crochet beautiful gifts for the little ones in your lives.

Have a nice and creative day.

Minions are always everywhere, and while the last film Despicable Me was in the

cinema a couple of years ago, the minions are always loved by children.

I found a beautiful blog, the name is AmigurumisFanClub, which gives us free and beautiful

patterns in Spanish and English.

After a year, I'm here again with you...

2016-09-22T06:27:00.000-07:00

Hello friends, it has been almost a year that I've been forced to set aside this beautiful virtual world due to health reasons.

Last year, I was diagnosed with cancer. Luckily after an operation, some exams and biopsies I'm in remission.
On the other hand, I'm taking care of my dear parents. My mother ( 94 years young!!!) was diagnosed with Alzheimer and has lost autonomy. My father ( almost 94 years young!!!) also has health issues. They both live with me and taking care of them takes several hours of my day.

For these reasons, I had to set aside my sewing machine and started to crochet. It's now a hobby and a new passion that allows me to be creative and to be close to my parents whenever they need me.

I want to thank my friends on blogger that although they didn't know the reason of my absence, they still encouraged me by giving a like on my posts on Facebook and Instagram .
I want to thank Maria from Mia's creations and Pam from Threading my way for your support! I have know them for many years on blogger and for me you are my precious bloggy friends!

The next posts will be about crochet. I discovered many designers and have made some creations that I will share with you in the upcoming weeks.

See you soon.

Have a nice and creative day!!!

Marisa
