Just a blog about my hobbies.
Amigurumi, crochet, and random crafts are my hobbies. I love making stuff. If I see something at an arts and craft fair I will always try to make my own before buying. I mean come on. I probably have all the materials to make it because Im a sucker for craft supplise.

One up!
I haven't made anything with crochet in a while. I had an itch. I keep scratching but it comes back. This is usually how my hobbies cycle. I'll get in to one thing... get my fill. Then I'll move on to the next. This is how I rotate between Photography, Crochet, and Bead work. But I suck at bead work so I just stick to the spiders. Crochet is my go to. I'm good at it. ( or so i think.) I wanted to make something quick and cute. I went in to my pattern folder and decided I'd make something... I had a pattern for Mushrooms and Snails from Amy Gaines. Which you can find Here on her etsy shop. I figured I could make a one up mushroom. All I did was make the spots go in the appropriate place and added felt eyes.
