Yoda says "may the Force be with you!"

Since I finished the sweater I made with my Christmas yarn, my next move was to break out the Star Wars amigurumi book that my BFF got me. She knows it's the perfect gift for a nerd who loves to crochet! I made Yoda first because the book came with yarn to  make him and because, honestly, who doesn't love Yoda? He's especially adorable in amigurumi form, a style that makes everything cuter. I can't wait to make all the characters, but he's what I've got so far.

Have a great week and may the Force be with you!

Wonderful Gifts for Creating!

Now that January is almost over, I'm finally getting around to showing off some of the wonderful gifts I received this Christmas.

Everything I got was awesome but since this is a crafting blog I'm going to focus on the crafting gifts. My mom made me this crafting bag, complete with pockets and matching holders for knitting needles, crochet hooks, scissors, sunglasses, gift cards, tissues, and even a coffee cup sleeve. Now I can organize all my stuff in style!

My best friend got me this adorable Star Wars Amigurmi book. I can't wait to make all the characters!

My mom-in-law got me this gorgeous wool when she found out I that I was getting into spinning. This will make such beautiful yarn! She also got me a lotion bar that is very nice for  keeping my hands from drying out and snagging my yarn. 

And last but not least, I got about 16 skeins of this lovely, cozy yarn. This is what I am using for my current project, which you will see soon!

So that's a pretty good sneak peak at what my next few projects might entail. I hope you are all avoiding the bugs that are going around and that it's not too cold where you are!
