I am CRANKY !! and this little melancholy lion really puts the ROAR in to my mood :O Today… while sick… I jump up at 8am my daughter Anna is on a precise schedule weekends or not. This is not my natural pattern I truly get my best work done at 1am. I feed her give her and myself our insulin injections. Again not a fun thing we handle it fine after so long, but it really is a drag to be tied to a refrigerated syringe required drug it takes careful planning to do anything.

I hadan appt in town today and Frederick spent the night at a friends so I had to find out what time I was required to pick him up..2pm. Ok… Call my husband and let him know to do that. Go to my appt then grab some lunch. I am really into this hole in the wall BBQ place we found recently they have the best Chili and corn bred and a fantastic Smoked beef or Pork sandwich for only $4. So GOOD and such a great deal I order 2 more to go for Anna and My Husband Greg.

I drive home thinking “lord let me get my chores done so I can just take a nap”… we live about 8 miles out. Can’t use cell phones in cars in Oregon anymore.. so I have Allison call dad to come to the gate and grab his lunch while it is somewhat warm. Allison and I are going to run out to the Bakery and get Bread we are out…. OK all this is pretty normal.

Wait for it WAIT…. Greg meets us at the gate. “WHO did the last load of LAUNDRY?” My husband is an only child and after 22 years I am done with BS he will talk to us nice… I am just done with his nonsense.  I am not going to respond I am just driving off. Greg yells “You washed a CAT” I hit the BRAKES !!! “WHAT???” Apparently the last load of laundry Allison did, included one of the barn cats My husband of course jokes “at least it was a clean kill”…. This SUCKS !!!

So we buried a kitty today, my husband proceeds to forget Fred when I remind him 20 minutes late he goes to the wrong friends house to pick him up… I get an Angry call “Where is Fred?” get that straightened out and now Fred is playing his Electric Guitar and all I want is that nap I SO looked Forward to.  ROAR !!!!!!!!!!

I have been having a blast designing these boobly woobly amigurumis any one who sees them automatically is drawn to pick them up and make the ami do a little dance… The neatest part of the design is the legs and arms are crocheted in. I hate sewing body parts on and this way all that is left to finish an Ami is ears.. a mouth a little detail here and there. What else would you make ? I was thinking maybe a mouse ? and I didn’t do a hedgehog or Raccoon … Cow and Donkey keeps popping into my head too. So many possibilities… you know maybe a pug or bulldog..

I want to start by saying HELLO !! To all you new Amigurumi lovers and I hope to start hearing from more of you through out the next few weeks… I am vamping up the year with a new Amigurumi body style. This crocheted body style is just so easy to make from start to finish. The arms and legs are crocheted in, leaving little left  to sew on  but ears… giving you lots of time to really work up a beautiful nose like this little black golly bear or placing the eyes on the open mouthed frog

I haven’t decided which styles I want to enter in the Vannas Choice contest Would love to hear what your guys favorites are ?As I get them finished ?  I am just tickled with the little flower dog and I always love lions !!! I also want to offer one of your favorites as a Free Pattern For my Special Valentines gift…. question is which one ?????????
