These are the newest additions to my amigurumi collection. I love Halloween and specially orange and black, they just look so perfect together. So for Halloween decor I have made these cute little pumpkins, 2 realistic ones and one amigurumi. They were pretty easy to make and the best thing is they wont go bad hehe.


Both patterns can be found free online, and can be easily modified to make bigger sized pumpkins.

HEHE SevsOnlyGirl organizes the "Fill a purse" swaps, she is great for any purse job! lol

if another purse swap comes along im so in!

How about a swap where you sent out souvenirs from your country, as if the swap partner had come to visit. It be like cool for international craftsters, and US a like, one could send out cute national symbols, crafts, candies, kitschy stuff, it be like getting souvenirs without the travel...just an idea...

OMG that fabric is totally kawaii, please oh please tell us where u got it???

Those are so cute, I love the cherry on the third one, really shiny, looks almost edible!

Loop Instructions
First loop the yarn over your finger as shown.


2. Pinch it together and get it off your finger carefully.



3. Now pass the neadle through the loop and chain once. Keep sc as needed into the loop.


4.Now comes the trick part. Take the right end of the back loop (you have 2, front and back), and pull to close the front one tight. Then take the left end and pull on it until you close the back loop.

I had such a good time with round 1 that I really want to join round 2- But I am not joining any swaps with out first taking a couple of days to look at my schedule and see if I can do it w/o over stressing.

Are there any archives on the first swap??? If so can someone link me? Thnx
