I'm obsessed with kiwis (the bird) lately so I had to crochet one. There's a picture of three kiwis in the first Amigurumi Collection so I tried to figure out how to make it, improvising.

These are just some other little amigurumi creatures that I made some time ago for a swap.
Hope that you like them :-)

I made these pins recycling old vintage buttons that I found at home or at a thrift store.
Here's how to make them

I cut the back of the plastic buttons, then glued with loctite to some other larger flat buttons. Added a glued pin on the back.
 Done!!

My friend Alessandra makes these original rings with polymer clay handmade figures, ribbons and sequins.
What do you think about them? Have you ever seen something like those before?
I would like some feedback because I would like to encourage her to make more

scented mug mats!!!
They are lightly padded and I added clover and cinnamon. When you put the hot mug on them they smell so good!
I think it is a quick, easy to make idea for christmas presents. Just choose a christmas fabric...

These are made with a flower of jade and tourmalinated quartz...

these are my wine biscotti with aniseeds. It's a typical italian recipe. If you want it, I can share 
Usually they must be made in a ring shape, and they are served with sweet wine. This time I shaped them as tiny bones, so they're ideal for Halloween.

And these are my cat shaped biscotti. I use to make them for my Halloween parties and my friends love them. They're covered with chocolate and two m&m's make the eyes.
Happy halloween!!![/color]
