WHAAAAAT?!
Feb. 19, 2012: OMG!!! My TOTALLY NEW OttLite just stopped working!!! I was working on the WIP I just posted and the light suddenly went out. WTH?! I have no idea why or how. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, flicking the switch a few times, adjusting the light bulb… nothing worked.
And then 10 minutes later, it just lit up again. o.O
I just bought it a few days ago… it...

Chatting with Connie Lee
Connie (from CrochEt Cetera) opened my eyes to a totally different perspective when she expressed her personal pattern-writing/sharing philosophy.
I am now much less stressed out by the idea of opening an online shop, designing more amigurumi, and publishing my own crochet patterns! :) She’s inspired me to work harder and continue doing what I love, and for that I am very thankful.
It...

Feb. 13, 2012.
I found this picture of me on my friend’s Facebook with the caption, “Teaching her granny hobby =)” … -__- Apparently, it’s extremely easy to take phone photos without your subject’s knowledge. Kinda scary. :( However, it didn’t even occur to me that I should blog about this experience until I found the photo she uploaded, so I guess...

My life outside of Tumblr -- it exists, I promise.
Feb. 1, 2012.
Things are getting crazier! :D The extra part-time job that I’ve picked up will be starting soon (I have training tomorrow!), I’m right in the middle of Girl Scout cookie season and organizing the fundraiser for my troop has been kind of crazy, classes are starting up again very soon, the Etsy shop needs to be worked on, I’m finally squeezing in some classroom...

Today is a good day
… for many reasons!
This weekend, I’ll be busy crocheting, finishing up my amigurumi panda pattern, taking photos, hopefully going on a 12-mile hiking adventure with my cousins, and helping my grandma prepare for Chinese New Year! Of course, I’ll also be prepping stuff for work next week, but I’d rather not think about that right now. :P
Who needs sleep?
Happy Friday,...

Gingerbread Man Fail? Haha
original post — May 21, 2011:
Alright, here’s the story. My friend’s friend is a father-to-be, so she’s been thinking about the perfect gift to get him. :) His favorite childhood book was The Gingerbread Man, so she decided to purchase the book for his new baby and also asked me to crochet a gingerbread man to go along with it. I was somewhat hesitant at first because I’ve never...

Mandatory New Year's Post :)
January 2012
Around this time last year, I made a pretty simple resolution: stop wallowing in self-pity/depression (the last few months of 2010 were very difficult for me), and start approaching life with a positive outlook. Be more productive, savor the simple joys in life, be/accept/love myself, and create happiness. I can pretty confidently say, “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.” My life...

(Epilogue as a prologue: HOLY CRANBERRIES!!! I just finished writing and it’s 5:30AM! TWO HOURS have passed by! I apologize for the extremely long length of this post, and I completely understand if you want to scroll right past it because I probably would, too. Haha. After doing a bit of proofreading, I’m actually surprised to see that I could form such coherent sentences at this...

amorningcupofjo:
Qualifying participants are being entered into the amigurumi raffle! This is a long and ugly post to clarify how I’ve chosen to do things just in case you’re curious. :P
How winners will be chosen:
1) List of participants will be entered into the random list generator
2) “Randomize” will be clicked three times to generate three lists. The Tumblarian located in the #1 spot...

MY 2010 CREATIONS!
Pokeball! I made this as part of a Christmas present for my little cousin. :P
Birthday Cake! Mailed this sweet amigurumi to a friend in Palo Alto. :)
Chef Raton. I wish I took a picture of Chef Raton and his twin brother, but I forgot. These two guys are being loved by my manager’s two sons. He said that they sleep with these amigurumis every night!! That makes me so happy. <3

MASS UPLOADS!
I created this spin-off blog because I was getting tired of the “My Creations” page on my main Tumblr. The endless scrolling, lack of interactive capabilities (it wasn’t possible to like, reblog, or comment on anything), and lack of separation between posts was becoming a bit too much of a hassle! So here I am, uploading everything from that one page to this new Tumblr,...

PRE-2010 CREATIONS
Felt Domo (Haha so awkwardly shaped). My friend says that his oblong shape makes him unique, but I think he’s just being nice. hahaha
Baby Bear with Backpack
Baby Bear and Hello Kitty. I think I might have followed a pattern to make Hello Kitty’s head.
One of my first attempts at amigurumi without a pattern. Haha this is a black cat :P
Octopus! Made with a pattern
My first attempt...
