2. I made this!:

It's a little red bird, I like to call him Carl, James likes to call him birdie. This type of crochet is called Amigurumi. I think that I could make this bird smaller by using a fingerling weight yarn or embroidery thread, a very teeny tiny crochet hook and possibly a magnifying glass. I will let you in on a little secret. lean in close. This is super easy. Like it is made with two stitches, a single crochet and single crochet together (decrease). So if you have ever wanted to give it a try. I am sure that you could find helpful videos on how to make amigurumi on youtube or you could take the class called Amigurumi-Woodland-Animals at http://www.craftsy.com. The class will help you to read a pattern and show you basic stitches that you will need for all of the animals. Go ahead you can do it!

I hope your day is filled with inspiration, love, and laughter. Be well my friends.
