z. Peony Wabbit – large amigurumi bunny

February 2, 2018 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: Baby, CREATIONS, Crochet - How To, Home Decor, HOW TO

Peony Wabbit is another of my large amigurumi bunnies.  She is, we think, adorable and we carry her just like as if she is a real baby!! 😀

Peony with flower in her ear, handmade fashion, large eyes with eyelashes is just like a big baby.  She loves to be carried, cuddled, and brought to see new faces, places, and things.  I wish her a life of love and adventure.

z.Bag Mochila Wayuu – Bag Lining How To

December 3, 2017 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: Crochet - How To, HOW TO

I choose to make the lining for my bags after everything else has been completed. (See index in How to Make Mochila Wayuu Bags.) Traditional Wayuu bags are generally un-lined.  But I think that lining will make a better and more practical bag.  It will ensure that dirt does not stick to inside yarn of bag when bag is used.  With lining, I can add pockets – which is always a desirable feature.  The downside is … yup!  More work!
