B-day presents: Hunger Games Cup Cozy and Mouse Amigurumi

My friend, Becky's birthday just passed. I finished her presents a little too late but that's ok because she didn't realize I was going to send her anything anyway. :)

Present #1: Hunger Games MockingJay cup cozy

She loves the Hunger Games books and movie so I had her sister, Rachel, cross stitch a MockingJay for me to put onto a red cup cozy. I think it came out really well. :) I just hope Becky doesn't realize what we are doing because she saw her sis stitching the Mockingjay. hehe 

Present #2: A cute mouse amigurumi

Becky was born in the Year of the Rat according to the Chinese horoscope. And since her favorite color is red, I thought a cute little red mouse! :)  I used this Pocket mice free pattern.

He's so little! :) He fit right into the Starbucks tumbler I am sending as well. :) That's present #3. :)

I did do one modification to the pattern:
Feet:

chain 2
into 1st chain:
hdc, slip stitch, dc, slip stitch, hdc, slip stitch

I hope she likes everything! Happy Birthday!!

March Bunny Package

Here is a March package for my favorite bunny, Rachel.

Felt Peeps bunny and eggs decorated tote.

I bought this mini tote from the $1 section at Target. It is really cute and it was the perfect size to put in a couple of amigurumis. But it was too plain so I decided to decorate it with felt cutouts. Peeps bunnies and eggs were perfect. I might try to crochet this tote. It really is a good size. :)

Inside the tote I wrapped up these two amigurumis.

Cute little blue Steampunk Octopus as a surprise. :)

And the Onigiri girl to help Rachel and her friend sell cute stuff at MobiCon.

Here are a few packages still wrapped from the package that I thought was lost. The poor things have been hiding in my garage for a year or two. I don't think there are any candies in there but there might be something from Halloween. :p Once Rachel opens it, I will link her post so that you can see what was inside.

I think the purple package in the back is a magazine. It feels like one and sounds like one so it must be one. :p I got her the most recent Cross Stitcher as well. It has a cute koala card freebe so, I bought one for myself as well. :) This might get me into the cross stitch mood. :p

A giant stuffed bookworm for her other bookworm friends and some Chinese snacks. 2 more pineapple cakes and the little blue packets are crushed up ramen noodles with powder flavoring. We used to do it with the big packs of ramen noodles that you can buy in the grocery store but they decided to make it on purpose. :)

Inside this cute bunny jar labeled with a big "R" for Rabbit or Rachel is the following cross stitch key chain kits. I promised Rachel, these kits a long long time ago and am just finally getting around to it. :p

I hope she geeks out over everything. hehe
Love ya Bunny!

Xmas Decorations

I have been meaning to post this but haven't gotten around to it till now...

This year's holidays has been especially busy for everyone I know. I hope yours went smoothly. :)

My mom found an angel friend for my angel from my friend, Rachel. My mom also loves poinsettias during Xmas so I got her the one in the Santa box (glittery and cute from the grocery store) and she had to get him a friend from Home Depot. Getting them around Xmas is not a good idea since they are usually wilted and very much sad looking. Next year, as always, we need to get them early.  

My mom also go this beautiful pink plant and the red version below on the same trip. The pink one is so cute with the "Joy" sign and her snow man ornaments. We like to put ornaments on door handles and on table tops rather than on the actual tree...hehe

Sorry for the terrible photo but I did put this cross stitch ornament made by the Wandering Bunny for me last year on the tree. Last year, I had it hanging off the door handle of my room. :)

I couldn't find the tree topper I used last year so I made a ribbon flower and used that instead.

Out table top white feather pre-lit tree. I really like the style and look of it. Next year, I am going to decorate it in red so have a red and white theme. If I can find some cute/pretty red origami paper, I will make origami ornaments. :) I put all the cards we received on the bottom of the tree.

The Wandering Bunny also made and sent me these nice Cross stitch pieces. They look really nice with the red plant and some ornaments in vases. :) 

This year, Rachel sent me this beautiful hand painted ornament for Xmas. :) It looks really nice hanging from the chandelier. I will have to find an ornament display to put it on for next year.

Thank you Bunny for providing me with most of my Xmas decorations!! :)
