I've been playing as you can see. This was play time yesterday. I have the books from the library, Amigurumi World & Amigurumi Toy Box. They are great! Both by Ana Paula Rimoli. Very good. So good in fact that I found the first one on fishpond for a bargain so hopefully that arrives soon! Oops! But really, it was over 50% off! You can't go past that can you? So today I have to fit in a bit more amigurumi making. I will work out of the Toy box book now. It's a toss up on what's first! The fox, carrot with the rabbit inside or the jelly fish! I am not a fan of jelly fish at all but I saw a bunch of them in rainbow colours & they looked awesome!
Boy that was perfect timing... BJ just walked in the room. I showed him the finished egg. The look on his face was priceless. He likes it! So now he has just picked what he wants out of the book. A jelly fish is next by the look of it! They really are cool! & a pink one at that! These don't take long so that's fun! It will be interesting to see how long the jelly fish takes. I used a 4mm hook on the coffee cup but changed to a 3.5mm on the egg. Will do another cup in the smaller hook as the spaces are a bit big for a toy. I even had the eyes on hand. I got them at work a while back for just this sort of thing. I even found them! (after only about 5 minutes of looking!)
For some more creativity today, check out all the other creative spaces won't you?

Oh these are just so cute !
Super cute!!! :)
adorable. i know my little girl would think these are pretty special given she loves eggs so much. what a cute idea and made so well. i give crocheting a good go but gosh i find it hard sometimes.
I love the cute cup :-) I'd love to be able to crochet myself but whenever I look at how-to guides it all just looks so confusing to me!
How cute! I love Ana Paula Rimoli's patterns, but I haven't got Amigurumi Toybox yet. That little egg looks like a great idea for an Easter present, too.
Brilliant... will now be looking for these books at my local library.
I love the way the egg "hatches". Fantastic.
Oh no... I just looked up those books and they're not at my library... and both books were heavily discounted on fishpond... which one is better??? Maybe I should splurge too... ???
