Amigurumi

Cute Japanese crafts!


The above are eggs in a cart and the shells open up.

I stumbled onto a book about cute Japanese crocheting patterns and realize what a niche it is. People are obsessed, as one book describes "so cute you could cry..."
Amazon reviewers best love The Cute Book by Aranzi Aronzo which includes how-to patterns.



After looking at the pictures in the book, I had to feast my eyes on some tangible items for sale and the natural place to then look for the real objects was Etsy ...and look what was peeping out of the pumpkin patch:

Pumpkin Moon Bun

Happy Eggs (artist from NYC)

Hey, then I noticed that the two ones I picked out were from our places of residence... coincidence? I think NOT!

Bunny Hopping Contest in Denmark!

Please watch the video.

Also: If you love bunnies the way I do, please meet Oolong, this insanely cute bunny who likes to be photographed with things on his head!

UPDATE: After closely reading the Wikipedia page on Oolong, I realize that he's dead. My suspicion is that this deranged photographer in Hokkaido, Japan, overworked poor Oolong to death. I'm sad now.
