new hair accessories

It would be nice to wear on Easter or any spring day. :)

Loser Queen

My bunnies I crocheted are taken by a book designer and they appear on the cover of Loser/Queen, a novel by Jodi Lynn Anderson. Yay!! I haven't owned this book yet,  however I'm so excited to see them on Amazon.

This is an original picture that I used for the first listing on etsy.

I received an order for 30 bunnies from Simon & Schuster marketing and due to tight schedule, I ended up with these mini versions of the bunnies. They were for Loser/Queen blogger to host a giveaway. Finishing 30 bunnies in deadline was challengeable since I was so busy at work and home. :) However, it was fun to create a new item.

summer hat hair clip

I crocheted this miniature summer hat (2" diameter) and attached a snap clip on the back. It would be nice to wear it for a day out on sunny summer day. ^ - ^

I don't remember the pattern exactly but the key is that you need to crochet in each back loop of stitch to look like vintage straw hat.

crocheted flower hair clip

This is one of my series of flower hair clips inspired by the flower button.

At first, I crochected two different size and color of petals using 100% cotton yarn and sewed together. I like both pink and yellow colors and they look pretty on white plastic coated snap clips. Also, I love the flower button glued on the top.

I guess I will make more using different color. : ) {amigurumis}

Amigurumi Ivory Bear with Red Bow Tie

Ivory bear is a little boy who is very cute and wears a red bow tie all the time. His favorite color is red. He has been reborn too. (I had a head only for brooch) ^ - ^ { buy here }

Penelope with scarf

I crocheted her head only for the brooch at first but I changed my mind. She is reborn and available in my shop. ^^

Set of 2 Retro Spring Flower Hair Clips

There're 2 layers of petals (pink/light pink) below the yellow center. They look pretty and elegant on the pink plastic coated snap clips. They are available in my store.

Susuwatari black soot sprite ball brooch

I made a new amigurumi brooch that looks like susuwatari from totoro. Cute, right? :) It's available in my store.

It looks funny. ^^; 

I found this from HappyHeart&Pokke's site and there're many free patterns including cute animals. They are written in Japanese, so google translate will be helpful.
