My "future" Amigurumi Gallery

Few months ago I found Lolanova's Mary Go Round frame pattern.
it looked so simple and pretty
the pattern is so easy to understand and also fun to do,
why wouldn't I try to make it? :)

I think the frames would be a nice perfection for my amigurumi gallery.
well I don't have amigurumi gallery yet, but it's okay to dream about it, right?
how do you think?

the wolf brothers

I think those like classic portraits in thriller movies about some psycho twin brothers.
maybe one of the scene would be like this.
Anybody cares to make the movie?


I have more plans to do for these duo, just wait :)

it's a teaser for my personal project. coming soon!

and by the way, this post itself is a spoiler for the next post
(I'm giving too much, it's not a teaser anymore)

W for Washing Machine

it's really tricky to find words begins with the last 5 letter of the alphabet,
that's why I'm late again :p
the good news is tomorrow will be my last day working at zeusbox studio, so I'll have plenty of time making new amigurumis while looking for a new job (Okay, it's not a good news, but let's pretend it is)

W is for Washing Machine

"isn't it too quiet here, or am I the only one being noisy here?"

I can live without refrigerator, but I can't survive living at the 21st century  without washing machine.

Nyok Kita Nonton Ondel Ondel!

(=let's watch the Ondel-ondel)

Happy Belated Birthday Jakarta!
I'm not a homo jakartaensis, so I didn't know it was Jakarta's birthday (June 22)
if I knew, I would have finished the Ondel-ondel on time.


Ondel-ondel is a traditional art from Jakarta (Batavia), and the Ondel-ondel itself is a  big puppet (about 2 meters tall) played by man inside it.
while my Ondel-ondel is the mini version, they are the finger Ondel-ondel!

There are male ondel-ondel who wears red mask, and female ondel ondel who wears white mask.
Both wear traditional Batavian clothing.
you can read more accurate explanation about the Ondel-ondel in wikipedia


I like the male Ondel-ondel more than the female, because the female Ondel-ondel's white face is scary and I think my ondel-ondel's hair looked like Medusa XD.

By the way, these Ondel-ondel were made for Festival Rajutan Indonesia (Indonesian Knitting Festival), I also designed the buildings and Monas amigurumi.
And for the Ondel-ondel's pattern..... hmmm... I think I will upload the pattern soon :)

Vivi the Vacuum Cleaner

the party is over.
I had fun, I still have this smile in my face.
but I can't help feeling sad, confused, and maybe tired seeing what was left.
and I know I have to clean them up.
Because if I don't, there won't be any party later.
Thankfully there's Vivi the Vacuum cleaner helping me to clean up the confetti.





when I was young, I believe that vacuum cleaner was the most modern thing in the house.
Not the TV.
The Vacuum cleaner looked so futuristic with a lot of buttons, noises, and... its cable.
The vacuum cleaner has a long plug in cable, and when you push the button, the cable rolls back into the vacuum cleaner. it's really Cool!

Ulat Ungu Nan Unyu


U is for the cutest critter ever: Ulat Ungu Nan Unyu
(=cute purple caterpillar)

unyu itself is a slang, so you won't find the word in dictionary.




it took a long time to finish this Ulat, because of the broken television.
I did many things while watching TV, so without it, I simply can't do those things.

it's no secret that I made most of my yarn toys while watching television.
My motto is "no DVD, no productDVD".
so.. it's true.
Instead of finishing the Ulat, I played nintendo for days, and barely finish this week amigurumi :p.

Not a Froyo, only Frozen Android


 a custom made for Neta.

you could make your own android too, using my free pattern.
or you could ask me to make one for you, I'll only charge the crocheting fee and the ingredient cost :)

Did I say you may not sell it?  well... who knows what people do with their own creation.
let's say, you may make android as much as you want, maybe for money, but you must remember it's not
an official merchandise and might be copyrighted, so you have to know the consequences :)
But I think it's fair enough if you were charging for the crocheting fee and the yarn cost.
(and also fair for the one who wants the android doll)
here's a tips: do not put it on your store, do not make one then sell it, only make it when someone need it and last thing, DON"T MAKE A MASS PRODUCTION of these android amigurumi dolls :p

by the way, How bout my android phone?  I still haven't got one.
anybody, please buy me one :P

Rainbow at the Asphalt

few weeks ago, it was raining on a bright day.
The rain was pretty heavy, but it was still a bright day.
I was searching for rainbow in the sky but found it at the asphalt, following the public car we were riding.
it was really a simply natural yet amazing moment.
something you didn't expect but make you smile.
and what happened recently makes me remember those rainbows.

I had a bad week, I can't say it was the worst week ever,
like it wasn't a storm, only a heavy rain.
something that makes me had a :( emoticon in my diary (if I ever wrote one)
but Thanks to Meilani of Pygmalioncraft
she sent me a surprise gift last week, so the :( streaks ended that day.


I really love the earrings and the sketchbook :)
Sketchbook is something I always need, and earrings is the only accessories I always wear.
I just find out that she made cute sketchbook, so if you need sketchbook, just check her blog/ facebook.
so She was the winner on my birthday giveaway last year, and this time, She was sending gift for her birthday.
Wow, I really love the new tradition!
Thanks a lot, Meilani! Hope you'll have your dreams come true :)

PS: prepare for the next giveaway ;)
