When considering my next Amigurumi creatures, and the bright colors of yarn I was using I was struck by the creative MUSE! 10 years ago I took my son and his friends to the DaVinci Science center. They had competed in the 5th Grade Science fair and I wanted to congratulate their efforts. They decided to choose toys from the gift shop that were plushies of disgusting germs and viruses in vivid detail and color. That’s when it hit me, not the virus thank goodness but the idea. And so I present my first in the series, Influenza. The pic on the right is the WHO microscopic representation of the virus that causes the Flu and next to it is my Amigarumi Flu. You will see the color appear again in one of my other Amigurumi so look for it.

Amigurumi Interrupted
Nothing like having an extended period of time where one is required to remain indoors to help produce some amigarumi, the small crochet creatures I love to make but it’s been a while since I have done so. Today I finished a blue jelly fish to keep the purple pygmy octopus company.

Finally, Amigurumi Creatures of the Sea!

This little pygmy octopus is inspired from a book that my daughter got me. There are some neat creatures in there and I think I will do more than one. Ladies and gentlemen meet Ophelia :-).
Breakfast Anyone?

I finally completed a plate of Amigurumi donuts, and not in the way I usually do! They weren’t super difficult to do, but finding the time to complete the project was kind of a big deal. Yay me? my daughter says I now need to work on an Amigurumi cup of coffee to go with it.
