African Grey Parrot Amigurumi
/
After I gave my friend the amigurumi raichu, another friend decided he wanted an amigurumi too. We scoured Ravelry for something he might like, but couldn't find anything. He has an African Grey parrot, so I decided to make one. After looking around on Ravelry, no such parrot pattern exists. The only patterns I found looked way too cartoony, so I decided to make my own. That was at the end of June. It took me six months, lots of iterations, and lots of "frustration breaks" to finish this bird. I'm happy to announce she is complete and I'm going to share my first ever crochet pattern so others can make less cartoony parrots.

Read MoreWedding Dress Shopping
/My parents made the trip to Seattle to accompany me wedding dress shopping last week. I went a little overboard and scheduled six appointments at boutiques in the greater Seattle area. I guess I was scared I would have another situation like dress shopping for senior prom where I visited a zillion stores and found nothing(happy ending: I ended up falling in love with and ordering a dress Mom forced me to try on that I had seen in magazines and hated on the model).
