I recently came across the etsy shop of this amazing designer, Su Ami, and thought you would all enjoy seeing her incredible micro mini amigurumi.  Wow!

The detail and personality she manages to create in these teensy ami's is just incredible!! One has to wonder if she has a flock of fairies assisting her.  ;o)

If you enjoy micro mini's, one of my favorite amigurumi designers of all time is MUFFA.

How these incredible artists achieve these masterpieces is a mystery to me!  But I love looking and marveling at their creations.

Have any of you dabbled in microminiature?  My smallest creation was about 1/2" tall and 1" long, and was extremely simple!

Ewok to Baby Wookie for John's birthday, April 2011

"I have always held a secret belief

that Ewoks are actually ….. 

 ......  Baby Wookies"

Before all of my fellow Star Wars fans get mad ....


Just Kidding!!  heh heh

While making this little guy, I thought that his pre ears/helmet look was so cute that I didn't want to sew the helmet/ears on, so I made them removable.  And he DOES remind me of a wookie!  ;o)

This was my freehand version of the crocheted ewoks that I've seen on the net including chiwaluv’s cutie

I crocheted him with with TLC Amore, a fuzzy boucle yarn, which is what decided me to use plain yarn and BRUSH Fuzzy Hello Kitty! Yeesh! I thought it was challenging to KNIT with fuzzy yarn!! But when you’re crocheting, you can’t see the STITCHES!!


Since I can't craft at the moment because my hands are healing (hopefully), I thought I'd post a few of the peeps I've been making, and have made in the past, who have been so woefully neglected because I never have a chance to stop knitting/crocheting, long enough to do any posting!  ;o)  I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as my Hub and I do.
