Peribahasa: Ada Gula Ada Semut

okay, it's time for a new (photo) series.
it's called Peribahasa means proverb in bahasa Indonesia.
the first peribahasa is "Ada gula, ada semut" (There's sugar, so there are some ants)
means if there's anything interesting, there would be some crowd surrounding it in no time.

zoomed a lot of time, you'll see the ant trying to bring more than she could.

it's my second time making ant amigurumi.

here's the first one, the crocheted smilling ant

this time it's knitted and it's gray cause.... I hate black yarns :)

No Title

No description.
No stories behind, tho you might have guessed it ;)

Happy Easter!!!

I knew it's April, April Fool's was coming, then Easter,

I could have prepare the  event related amigurumi before those days, instead, I was start making those amigurumi right at the D-Day.

I finished my poisson d'avril at April 2nd , it was jus a few minutes too late but it's not the first of April.

and now, today, it's Easter.

I had a long weekend, planning to make something related to Easter but I was making something else first.

Luckily, I had a 3 hours train ride to finished this amigurumi.

HAPPY EASTER

especially to my dearest mom :)

how come this chick become an Easter related amigurumi, you ask? 

I dunno either, I didn't think that much, I just don't want to make an egg amigurumi cause eating eggs give me acnes :p

Cockroach Pattern on PDF?

so you want a pattern, I mean you really really want it? Are you ready for all the consequences? Really? ARE YOU SURE?
prove it then I'll send you the pattern (written on PDF)  for only 2 USD
the step by step:
1. Send me e-mail
2. I'll send you a paypal invoice
3. Pay it with paypal, and notify me (e-mail me again)
4. I'll check the fund transfer then I'll send you the PDF to your mail

I think it will take about 1-3 days to get the steps done, considering the time zone differences.
complicated, that's why only the one who really want the cockroach pattern shall proceed.
when I wrote consequences,   one of the consequences is to accept it as it is (honestly it's unedited, and I got a poor pattern writing skill and funny Engrish)
as a reference of how I wrote the pattern, you could check my free patterns.

I would like to make this pattern available for free, but somehow I need to start collecting money so I can pay a web designer to build me a pattern shop which would be more practical to use :D

April Cat

 Me: Hi Cat, do you know what month it is?

Cat:  Hmm... Apple?
Me: (-_-!) close enough, do you mean April?

Cat: Oh right, I mean it's April

Me: Anyway, do you know what's going on this April? 

And can you please leave that apple alone?
Cat: Rrrrrr...April... I smell something fishy
Me: Poisson d'avril?  done that few days ago

Cat: no! see, there's something fishy!
Me: wow! good cat!

April Fool's :(

who am I to fool?  I am fooled.
if you read this post and you read some news about that issue, then you know that they canceled the price raise.
they postpone it.

I caught a flu (again), and I made this amigurumi while sneezing, and I failed to make it on time.
it's already April 2nd. (it's 00:04)
no longer April Fool's.
guess I'm the fool :(

PS: poisson d'avril is April Fool's in France, when they traditionaly tack a paper with a fish picture at someone's back...  ah, go read wikipedia
