It is later than I planned, it has taken me a long time to decide on a theme and figure out how I wanted to make the pieces this time, but I am excited to announce that it is finally time for another Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along, the Spring 2025 Mini Amiguurmi Crochet Along. I had several ideas for what I wanted to do for this year's spring crochet along and was debating between a few themes, but as I was considering different themes I realized that for the past 2 years the spring CAL has been all animal themed. 2 years ago  the theme was Farm Animals and included 12 little animals you may find on a farm, and last year was Pond Pals and included 12 little animals like birds, bugs, and other creatures you make find around a pond. I figured I may as well keep the pattern going and do another animal themed crochet along for this spring. The theme I chose is...

Easter is just around the corner and I have several patterns to share in the week or so leading up to it. To start off I have a little crocheted bunny pattern. These little bunnies are only about 7" tall standing, 5" tall sitting, so they are the perfect little size to stick in an Easter basket and they work up pretty fast.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been working on some spring and Easter themed crafts and one of the projects I had planned was an Easter project that used napkins to make a decoupage project. While I was pulling out supplies for that project I remembered I had some wood trays that I thought would be perfect for another decoupage project, so I went ahead and made that too.

Back in January I made a washcloth that had a snowflake design made out of puff stitches. After that I had the idea to make a washcloth for each month. For February I decided I wanted to make something that wasn't specifically Valentines, but kind of had a feminine, pretty vibe that I thought would go well with Valentine's Day. I also chose shades of pink and red. Well, I made those dishcloths, took the pictures, and then never posted them so now here we are at the end of March and I am finally getting my "February/Valentine" washcloth pattern up. So clearly the whole washcloth a month is not really working out.

Today is the final day of my 3rd Annual Book Inspired Craft Week. For today's book I chose a well known and well loved children's picture book- If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. This is a book that I remember well from when I was a kid, and read to my kids when they were young.

This week I am pairing favorite books with crafts in my 3rd Annual Book Inspired Craft Week. For today's book I have chosen one that I loved when I was a little kid, Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie. I know that there was a Reading Rainbow episode of this book but I don't remember if that is where I first heard of it, or if I had already read it before seeing it here. All I remember is it being a favorite.

For the 3rd book of my 3rd Annual Book Inspired Craft Week I chose The Lightning Thief- the first book in the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Honestly, Percy Jackson has been on my list since the first year I did this series, but has gotten bumped for other books. Choosing the books to highlight is the hardest part for me, there are just too many to choose from.
