So here we have it! A new collection I am adding to all my creative things I offer on Etsy .... AROMIGURUMIS!!!! ... I know .. you're thinking, Aromigu what? Well .. Thanks to a fabulous blog giveaway I participated in over at lushlee.com (an adorable cute inspired website) I won a book called Creature Crochet with patterns to learn how to crochet Amigurumi creatures. Well, (while waiting for the book in the mail) I decided to use the internet and found some free basic patterns online, I started playing with stitches and created my own creatures. Then .. I decided to put my own spin on things (as usual!) :) .... So .. after creating a couple, I decided that instead of giving it a "toy" feel, I wanted them to be more a novelty, a cute desk decoration, or maybe a cute addition to someone's vehicle rear view mirror ... so ... I added scented aroma beads to the middle of my creatures, stuffed the bottom a bit with polyfil - and there we have it, Aromigurumis were born!
I'm very excited to be launching these little buddies - and as a special thanks to all my blog followers, I'm giving you all a first look at my creatures with an opportunity to win one for yourself! Based on the poll that has been running on my blog here, Clean Cotton and Vanilla were the top two scents of choice. So, the winner of this blog giveaway will be able to choose either the Vanilla or Clean Cotton creature as you see in the photo :). These little guys are hand crocheted with Lion Brand Suede style yarn and have plastic saftey eyes :) - they are about 3 inches high, and their bottoms are squishable if you need them to "sit" a different way :)
Now ... are you wondering what you have to do to win an Aromigurumi???
It's easy - Just go to my Etsy Shop, Creative Fly Designz on Etsy and post a comment in this post with a link to your favorite item in my shop and a comment about why you like it! A winner will be chosen at random on Saturday evening, October 10th, 2009.
Good Luck and have fun!!! Thanks for reading my blog and have fun!
Brilliant and fun little aromigurumis! Clean cotton is such a cute wee monster!
