Halloween Friends Amigurumi

Halloween Amigurumi
We’re only eleven days out from my second-favorite holiday of the year: Halloween! (Easter is number one, if you were curious.) So I decided to make a master post of all the Halloween stuffed creatures I’ve made this year. Fellow crocheters, the links to the patterns for these cute critters are at the bottom of this post.

Pumpkin Amigurumi
Let’s start with the symbol of the season–the pumpkin! These were so much fun to make, and I love the cute little stems at the top. There are a number of pumpkin patterns that have you crocheting them vertically, but these were done horizontally, and I think I prefer them that way.

Amigurumi Ghost
Next up, we have these precious little ghosts! Do they really count as amigurumi if they’re not actually stuffed? I’m not entirely sure, but we’re going to say they do for the purposes of this post. 😉

But, yes, they are indeed hollow in the middle, which means you can slip them over the top of a battery-powered tea light for a spooky effect!

Finally, we have my personal favorites, the adorable candy corn! I’m not a huge fan of the actual candy, but these stuffed ones are amazing. I love them so much.

Once again, these Halloween amigurumi are a blog-exclusive, which means they’re not listed in my Etsy store. They’re made-to-order, and you can get some of your very own by emailing me or by catching me on my Facebook page.

Happy (slightly early) Halloween, friends!

Crochet Bookmarks For Everyone!

crochet bookmarks
Hello, everyone! This is, as always, The Crafting Bunny, and today I’d like to share with you a few crochet bookmarks I’ve made. If you are a fellow crocheter who would like to make these bookmarks yourself, I have included the pattern information at the bottom of this post.

I have always enjoyed reading, for as long as I can remember. One thing I’m not good at, however, is keeping up with bookmarks. I lose them regularly, which leads to me doing one of two things. I either just put the book I’m reading face-down, open to the page I stopped on, which often leads to breaking of the spine, or I just grab whatever piece of stray paper is nearby and use that as a bookmark, which, while it works and doesn’t damage the book like the first option, is not the most elegant solution.

So when I realized I could crochet bookmarks, I was like, “Finally! A bookmark I (maybe) won’t lose!”

I made a few of these for friends and family in the past, and one for myself as well. And I was right–I’ve had my bookmark since February and haven’t lost it yet!

I have plans to make more bookmarks because they’re quick, they’re fairly easy, and they’re fun to make. Plus, you can make the top part be just about anything you want it to be.

I do not have these listed in my Etsy store yet because I don’t have a huge selection of them at the moment. I was just so excited about them that I had to give y’all a sneak peek! If you’re interested in one of these (or if you have an idea for another one!), you can contact me via Email or Facebook.

Welcome To The Crafting Bunny Site!

Hello, friends, and welcome to The Crafting Bunny site!

I’m so glad you could join me here today as I begin this (hopefully) exciting journey through life and crafting!

As we speak, I, Bunny, have fairish skills in both crochet and embroidery. I am looking to explore amigurumi further and perhaps develop some crochet patterns of my own.

As far as knitting goes, I am a rank beginner, but I thought I could share my foray into knitting with all of you so that you can see the struggles and the triumphs that come with learning any form of crafting. Ditto for cross-stitch, as I’m even less than a rank beginner with that!

I am not a quick crafter, so bear with me as I update this blog. While you wait for me to post, I highly suggest you checking out my Friends page, where you can see the sites of some of my dear friends. I recommend them highly!

So thank you for joining me on this journey, and stay tuned for updates! I am, as always, The Crafting Bunny.
