Brulee Bot | You’re Never Gonna Be Jello

Another Christmas crochet project to share with you today. This one is an amigurumi from Crobots, another crocheted creature book I bought last year.

Her destination? My best friend forever Jenny. (We’ve been best friends for 17 years–more than half of our lives!) We decided to make gifts for each other, and she made me a flashy new apron and two embroidered dish towels.

Her name? Brulee Bot. Why? My and Jenny’s movie is My Best Friend’s Wedding. And we like to remind each other that creme brulee can never be jello. You’re never gonna be jello.

Her task? To keep Jenny company while she’s far away in St. Louis and working on construction sites (QA gal) during the day and sewing at night.

Don’t you love her? Tell me: brilliantly creative or gigantic idiot?

Day of the Dead Couple

I gotta share with you a cute couple I crocheted for a customer before Christmas. Meet the Day of the Dead Guy and Gal:

How cute are they?! I found their pattern in Creepy, Cute Crochet. I bought this book last fall, and this was my first project to tackle. Isn’t the guy handsome?
Don’t you love the top hat and boutonniere?

Isn’t she pretty? Don’t you love her wreath?

I think their button eyes make them endearing!

I had a ton of fun making them. Lots of little details to make them special! I like going back and forth between little projects like this pair and big projects like afghans. The former take a lot of concentration, but I can finish them quickly; the latter generally have a pattern I can memorize, but they work up in less time.

Meet Hashiru: My Newest Crobot

Check out my latest amigurumi creation! She’s a geisha crobot, and I made her for Other Sarah. Since Other Sarah is an avid runner, this geisha is named Hashiru, which is Japanese for ‘run.’

In related craftiness news, I’m working to make many of my gifts this Christmas. Handmade goodness is especially fun/necessary in this economy! Plus, I’m working my way through my yarn stash. I’m up to my eyeballs in yarn, but that’s what winter is for: cozying up with a project, a movie, and (in my house) a cat/project inspector.

Hope you like Hashiru! If you’d like your own crobot, creepy cute creature or animal, I custom make them for $10-20 each (depending on size).

Time to vote. Brilliantly creative or gigantic idiot?
