Bunny Baby Blanket

Sorry, it's been almost half a year since I last posted. But during that time, I was slowly working on a new crochet project. I found this adorable bunny baby blanket pattern that I wanted to make and I just finished it! It's a combination blanket and stuffed animal with a little bunny head and arms sewn into the middle of a soft mint green, pink, and white blanket. It's pretty simple to make using a granny square pattern. The blog where I got it from shows you how to make the bunny and provides a link to a granny square pattern. To get the alternating colors in my blanket, I did two rows of each color and then switched to the new color. I did 20 rows in total, making the blanket to measure about 21x21 inches. It's a little on the small side so it would be great for newborns and infants.

You can find this adorable blanket for sale on my Etsy shop: Hello Mon Ami.

And I recently created a new shop on ecrater: http://hellomonami.ecrater.com/p/21649409/bunny-baby-blanket

Baby Beanies

I've added a new item to my Etsy shop. Cute and soft baby beanies with your choice of a pom pom top. Currently the beanies are available in mint green and strawberry pink. The beanies measure to be 16 inches in circumference so it should be able to fit most babies from 3 to 6 months old. And can possibly stretch to fit up to 12 months old.

My Etsy Shop

I've added an easy way to get to my Etsy shop through my blog. On the left, you will see thumbnails that display some of the products in my shop. Clicking on a thumbnail will take you directly to it in Etsy. :)

Oriental Dragon

Just finished a dragon I made for a friend!  He requested a traditional Chinese dragon which was a little difficult trying to find a good pattern. I could only find the amigurumi style dragons which are cute but weren't what he was looking for. Finally found one on Ravelry from Nhewyt's Designs. It was time consuming but wasn't too difficult of a pattern. The pattern makes for a snake-like body that turns and winds. And the teal blue and purple colors that my friend requested make it a little different from the typical red and yellow colored dragons. I love how it turned out, especially the gold eyes.

Donkey!

It's only been a few days since I opened my Etsy shop and I've already gotten a few orders. I need to make some more items for my shop! Along with my shop items, I still take custom/special orders. Recently, I was asked to make a donkey. There aren't many donkey patterns out there that aren't Eeyore. But I found a cute one and added a mane to it. I won't be able to put this up on my shop though since the pattern's creator has asked not to commercially sell the finished products. But I might be able to make an original pattern when I have the time.

Hello Mon Ami!

I launched my Etsy shop! Finally! This shop has been something I've been wanting to do for some time now but I had been putting it off for so long. During my spring break, I used that time to start building up inventory for the shop. I made several items from crochet patterns I've found online and some that I've created myself. I posted the items that are currently in my shop.

Here is the link to my shop: HelloMonAmi

I hope you love it!

Spring Bunny #...I lost count

I can't remember how many times I've made this bunny. I think it may be my sixth time now. Although this time I made it using a different accent color which is a nice change from the usual pink and tan colors I've done. This bunny has a nice, fresh feeling with its minty green accents. The flower is a cool mint green. The lining of the ears has a pretty green floral pattern. And for the feet, I used soft green fabric since I couldn't find any mint green felt.

All About Ami: Spring Bunny

I have no more orders to complete so I finally have the time to start on my Etsy shop. But after all this crocheting, I think I want to take a short break. I've been drawing some doodles of dolls I might make for the shop. I want to try to keep the patterns simple.
