STUFFED

When I first started this blog I was obsessed with swap-bot. Eventually I had to wind down because I couldn't afford all of the postage, and now it's been over a year since I last signed in! To motivate myself to get back on the bandwagon of crafting adorable, small, albeit useless things, I decided to post some of my past creations :)


The guys above and the turtle below were all 2" or smaller; the smaller, the better!


Amigurumis were actually how I started crocheting more regularly. I called this little pooch Guccigurumi because it's supposed to be my uncle's Maltese, Gucci!


Unfortunately none of the groups I was a part of are still active on swap-bot, and most of my family is totally not into this sort of thing, so I can't even make them as small holiday gifts! Maybe I can swap with some awesome crafty bloggers? Right??

    I don't have anything to swap (because I am not crafty AT ALL) but I would be your grateful recipient ANYTIME!

    Those are super cute, I love little things! I make a lot of ornaments for christmas, so then they're a little more useful.

    Thanks, guys!

    I'll totally make you something Kath! <3

    Ornaments are a great idea, Molly, that amigurumi owl was actually an ornament. Our tree is so tiny though and I have a billion ornaments already (http://bit.ly/eKjC2t)!
