Hello my crafty friends!

Hello my crafty friends!


Do you love Totoro? I do!! This is my second Totoro tutorial and this time I'll be showing you how to crochet a Totoro phone case cover. This is a perfect amigurumi for beginners tutorial, so if some of you are just starting hooking then this is the perfect project for you. I'm really satisfied with how it turned out, in fact this amigurumi phone case is one of my current favorites. It's so cute! >.<

I actually wanted to add a zipper to it, but didn't have one, so I just left it open as many phone cases are. If some of you tries recreating this phone case adding a zipper to it, then please share some pictures with me on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #madiunnie, I would love to see them. :)

Today I just wanted to share with you this cute little "Crobot" I recreated. I just saw a picture of him in the internet and then found out that it is from the book of Nelly Pailloux. I tried recreating it because I thought he was so cute and this is the final look. What do you guys think? Isn't he adorable?!? Yeahhh, I know, I know... I have fallen in love with it!

Much love

Hello my crafty friends!


I'm here with a new post and a new tutorial. During the holidays I wanted to make something colorful to bring a bit of color to my white bedroom and I came up with this beautiful idea of using tree branches. I think it looks already great with just the branches, but because I wanted to add some colors I crocheted some flowers using a thicker thread in orange and purple color. I can say I'm quite satisfied with the final result.





For some other people who thinks "the more, the better", I also considered adding some sparkling beads. So you guys can really do whatever you want and decorate the branches to suit your own taste!


Hello my crafty friends!

   Hello my crafty friends!


For my very first post I wanted to show you this very easy Amigurumi project on which I have been working for the past days. I was googling for some easy crochet project, since I have just started crocheting a few months ago and I found a picture of some Amigurumi little monsters. I found them so cute and adorable that I decided to recreate them.


I actually used different colors of yarn. I also made a Mr. Moustache little monster and a little monster with ears. I had so much fun making them and they're sooooooooo cute! I highly recommend this as an super easy project for crochet beginners.
