Mimi the Eggy Peep in her Egg Cup
I'm so sorry that I've been so swamped with making gifts for Easter and the many April birthdays in our family, for the past couple of months, and haven't been able to post anything! I have still to write up the last installment of my Christmas peeps, and so many more peeps that I haven't had time to post.
After my "knitting injuries" from my far too zealous Christmas knitting, I've been *gasp* crocheting my wee peeps! Oddly, at the moment, it hurts less to crochet than to knit! But I have to take it slowly. And I've been gaining even MORE respect and admiration for the amazing creations that my crocheting amigurumi-making (toy-making) friends come up with all the time, than I already HAD! I'm finding it a lot harder to crochet ami's than to knit them ! Eeek! heh heh (even though I've been crocheting other things than toys for YEARS!) But I'm happy to be crocheting them till I can knit again. I do have to stick with simple shapes, though. No teensy limbs!!! ha ha! I tried! ;o) I've actually written up two posts chronicling my foray into crocheting toys but haven't yet had the opportunity to get the photos posted and finish them. So that's something to look forward to. ;o)
I'll be posting more of my simple crocheting efforts soon. I just HAD to get these pics of Mimi up right now, since my Hub and I got such a kick out of playing with her while taking them! I hope you'll take a peek at the "Screaming Mimi" video we made. heh heh

Wheeeeeeee!
Video of Screaming Mimi Taking a Ride is here!
(be sure to have your sound turned on... hee hee)
I got this idea from a photo of an adorable design by "Crocheting Crab"
Who has a free pattern here!

I didn't use a pattern but I've made notes of making Mimi in her eggcup so I may have a pattern in the future (you're on your own if you want a balloon like mine, though, heh heh)
We're wishing you all a beautiful and Blessed Easter and
HAPPY SPRING!!! :o)
