Well, that's good to know....

So, yeah, apparently, I don't have too much to be worried about, although 32% is a tad bit on the high side for my taste....




There's a 32% Chance You've Been Abducted By Aliens



Even though you have a few alien abduction signs, you're almost certainly in the clear.

However, if aliens ever do come to your neck of the woods... they'll probably be coming for you!



What are YOUR chances? And while you are waiting for the aliens to come and eat your brain, please visit my shop

Fun with Amigurumi!

Don't you just love those little Amigurumi toys?? Yup, me too! Hence my newest little creations!



Here are two super cute bunnies made with a pattern I bought from CrochetPattern.Etsy.Com and two adorable little aliens made from a pattern I found at Lion Brand Yarn's website.

This heather gray baby safe bunny is part of Dean's first Easter basket. I can't wait to give it to him, he'll love it!


I know you are just in love with this diva Easter bunny that I made for my 5 year old cousin. She has black safety eyes and a darling little smile. I spent hours staring at it knowing it was missing something and then it dawned on me - bows on her ears!! Perfect!


And now for the aliens!! This is my first alien, I followed the pattern EXACTLY and even bought the Vanna's Choice yarn (it was on sale). He came out pretty good!


The second time around, I changed things up a bit and this little intergalactic traveler was born! I can't decide if its a boy or a girl... but either way, its got spunk! I'll be sending this one over to ShutterKate for the EtsyNJ donation basket. Check out the blog for all the details and all the other great donations!


I plan on making another alien for Dean with my rainbow variegated yarn, since he's obsessed with it. Not sure if I have enough, but I can always make his hands and feet red or blue, I have tons of that!

Hooray for Amigurumi!

PS - Keep an eye on my shop, I just make some great new necklaces and you never know when one of these cute little guys will show up there! If you are interested in buying one of these cute little fellas, feel free to contact me!
