Can you handle the cuteness?

I am straying from my usual fashion/style posts to another side of me - crafty-ish! :)

One of my girlfriends is having a baby and I decided that I wanted to find something cute to make for the baby. I haven't crocheted in a long time, like 2 years but I decided to pick up my crochet hook and went hunting for a cute pattern online.

I found many a baby hat and booties but then I came upon the world of Amigurumi, which is basically the Japanese art of crocheting cute stuffed animals. I instantly fell in love and had to try one. I had low expectations considering I wasn't that great at crocheting before but here is my first project.

Turtles!! Aren't they so cute?
I made one bigger than the other so they could be boyfriend/girlfriend.

love their little feet.

My mother in law has all these miniature furniture sets and these chairs just fit them so well.

To give you a picture of how small these guys really are here is my little Savvy getting all Dogzilla on them.

I love them so much that I can't give these away. (Sorry Jen!) hehehe, I suppose I could make a couple more to give away :)

Just look at their faces...

You want one of your own?

Go here for the pattern I used!
