I make Teddy Bears^^

Hello!
So, I love to make things and I started off making hair pins and little simple things but now, I like to make more interesting things. Last summer was when I picked up crocheting. My mom taught me how to knit when I was younger but I was never taught how to crochet, so I decided to learn. Crocheting is kind of difficult for me because being a lefty (I'm left-handed^^)makes crocheting a lot more complicated than it really is. When I read a pattern, it gets confusing because everything is basically backwards. BUT, though it may get hard at times, I still find it very enjoyable. I don't crochet the typical scarf. I crochet animal dolls~^^
Tehee~ I loveeeee it. It's called Amigurumi (編みぐるみ) which means crocheted or knitted toy, in japanese. I started learning out of a book, but you can also find patterns online. Here are some examples:

star wars amigurumi~!! SO CUTE

HARRY POTTER<3
MARIO 1UP's~!!



As you can see, I am clearly a nerd hahaha, anyways, aren't they adorable~? I've made some but they are not as cute as these.
Here are the ones that I've made so far:

tehee~ I made him because I'm a Leo. His name is Lionel^^

I made these during chrismas time as presents for my family^^ I was too lazy to make their limbs.  tehee<3
 
I hope one day to make a shop. We'll see~^^

Fresh Meat! (not literally, of course) ^^

Dear readers,

Hello~!^^ I've been gone from the youtube scene for a while now huh? Well, college has been pretty busy. Lots of things to finish up before the summer. YAY~ its almost here. I have exactly one week left of school and then its FINALS. I'm kind of freaking out already! It is already the end of my freshman year in college? what?! Time goes by sooooooo quickly. I'm excited for next semester, but also pretty afraid. I'm majoring in acting so its going to be really mind boggling, but I hope to go as far as I can.

Thats it for todays ranting,

Jane
