Who’s excited for my Baby Unicorn crochet pattern??? 

Here’s a sneak peek of the materials you’ll need to make Hugo the Unicorn (a.k.a. another excuse for you to go shopping for new yarn!).  My pattern will be ready to publish sometime this month (October), so stick around! :D

For those of who who are just joining us on A Morning Cup of Jo Creations, this unicorn was introduced as one of my designs over a year ago… and now I’m finally turning him into an amigurumi pattern so that he can come to life in your very own home! :) Check out my Facebook to stay updated.

Thanks for visiting!

Hi everyone! 

I don’t know if anyone will see this post on their dashboard since I haven’t been posting lately… but hi anyway! :)  It’s been a while!  Life’s even more hectic now than it was LAST school year, and those of you who’ve been following my Tumblr for that long can probably imagine why I haven’t found time to update my blogs. @__@ I apologize for disappearing, and I will try to drop in more often. :) I hope you’ve been doing well!!!

I made a tiny photo collage to give you a glimpse of what I’ve been up to in my life outside of Tumblr. Photos of school, work, and taking exams were left out because I’d rather not relive those memories. :P My summer highlights included a trip to Hawaii, a trip to Mammoth, a trip to Yosemite, rescuing a kitten, and the invitation to get my crochet pattern designs published in a book! YIPEEEE! :D I updated my Facebook Fan Page throughout the summer if you’d like to see what’s been happening in A Morning Cup of Jo Creations. :)

If you’d like to see our book release video and read about our project before tomorrow morning, here’s a link for you: Zoomigurumi! 

See you soon! <3

Giveaways, travel log photos/stories, pattern publications in an upcoming book, new patterns… phew! ^__^ The crochet fun never ends. ;P Come visit me on Facebook for the latest goodies! 

See you soon!

Meet Charlie the Baby Panda. He is our unofficial groundskeeper here at Jo’s Home, and we’re mighty appreciative! Charlie has a gentle touch and loving nature. Sometimes you can even catch him singing to his pretty peonies or telling bedtime stories to his lotus flowers.

A while ago, Charlie tried to teach me how to garden, but his efforts were futile — there was no chance of saving plants under my care. The peonies began to wilt in fear as I approached, and the lotus flowers would close up quickly and submerge themselves under water! One day, just when I started to think that all plants hated me, Charlie surprised me with a gift! He and his purple panda friend, Suzie, crocheted a lucky bamboo plant for me!!! He told me that it will never require any watering, pruning, or fertilizing. That’s my kind of plant! Haha :) I can’t decide if the pandas crocheted this plant for me because they love me… or because they didn’t want me killing any more of their flowers. In any case, I love the gift, and it now sits proudly on my window sill!

Find my new crochet patterns on Craftsy, and come win FREE tiny pandas on Facebook!  See you there!

It looks like Z-Stanley and Nibblez have new friends (omg zombie animals are taking over)! They must have bitten them before I could even finish painting my tiny pandas. D: 

WE MUST EVACUATE!!! Who will provide a safe house for these pandas?! 

Giveaways start tomorrow morning on Facebook (Sunday, July 8). :)

July 5, 2012.

I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July! Here’s a glimpse of everything I’ve been crafting during these last few nights of sleeplessness. :P 

Top photo: LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE TINY CLAY ANIMALS!!! :D ALL of the tiny clay charms/ornaments will be given away within the next two weeks, so visit my Facebook Fan Page often!

I have some fun stuff planned. :) I love hosting giveaways because they give me a chance to know a little more about YOU, and I also get the chance to make others’ days just a little bit brighter. ^__^ I hope you’re as excited as I am!!!

Bottom photo:  My panda and I had quite the photo shoot this morning. :D I still have lots of work ahead… like writing/photographing the bonus accessory pattern that will go with my baby panda amigurumi pattern!  Getting soooo close to finishing.

With only 2 more weeks before I leave on a family trip, I’m working super hard to get things moving along at A Morning Cup of Jo Creations!!! I should have lots of announcements and goodies for you in the days to come. Goodnight for now, and thank you again and again for being a part of my little adventures. ♥

I made this as a gift for the assistant principal of a school whose mascot is an eagle and the school colors are red, white, and blue.  It seems only appropriate that I post these photos for Independence Day (can anyone else say those two words without thinking of Will Smith and aliens? >.<)! 

For those of you who celebrate, happy Fourth of July! :D
