☀️Pete - the Golfinch 🐦 Can you see? Pete is searching for the perfect spot to land. 🤣 It’s notso easy, though. He keeps getting distracted by every little patch of sunshine and all the interesting things around him. Swipe through the pictures to see if he found his perfect spot. 🤭 I had the chance to test this European goldfinch and I am so chuffed with how he turned out. He feels so real, like he could just hop out of my hand at any moment. 😲 Those wings are just stunning! The pattern was a lovely to make and very thoughtfully designed. 😎 Thank you @likealigercrochet for letting me be part of the test. ✨ Pattern: @likealigercrochet #crochet #amigurumi #crochetbird #goldfinch #crochetersofinstagram

Ophelia is a delicate and beautiful design just like the orchid she was inspired by. I admire designers like @codename_butterfly who dare to bring their vision to life despite the trends and the fear of “what the others think“ that we all have. Her design is beautiful and delicate full of detail 😊 thank you for bringing her to life and for giving me the opportunity to test for you 🥰🌸

I had so much fun testing this cute little bracelet pattern for @_monchissle_ 🧶💕 It’s such a more-ish make, there’s no way you can stop at just one.

🌸 Astrid ✨ Spring is finally here, and with it blooms this sweet little Gerbera Daisy 🥰 Astrid loves to bask in the sunshine, quietly delighting in every cuddle she receives. That’s when she glows the brightest. I had the joy of testing this beautiful pattern by @irissesile . Not only did she design Astrid, but also two other lovely flowers: Rose-Marie the garden rose and Soliv the daffodil 😲🌷 The pattern works up quickly and is perfect as a snuggler for little ones. I chose to stuff mine with a stocking filled with polyfill, and now she’s extra round and chubby. I absolutely love it ❤️ Pattern: @irissesile Eyes: handmade by me #amigurumi #snuggler #flowers #spring #crochet

🥕Puff Bunny🐰 Easter bunny? Nope. This year, a little puff bunny visited our house for Easter, and I just managed to snap a few photos before it ran off again. 🤭 They seem to be very timid little creatures. 🐰🥕 Testing this adorable puff bunny pattern by @fibrefables was so much fun. 💚 The pattern is well structured, and I always adore Bountie’s style. My little one is made with Alize Soft in green, and I’m completely in love with that carrot tummy! Psst… go to @fibrefables and swipe until the end of the post, there’s a little thank-you code waiting for you. 🤫 Pattern: @fibrefables Eyes: me #amigurumi #crochet #handmade #crochetbunny #fibrefables yarnlove crochettoy makersgonnamake eastervibes

🌻✨ Reese 🌻✨ This sweet character was delightful to test for @ruthlace_crochet . The original design is inspired by a chocolate treat, but I couldn’t help myself and played around with colours. That’s how Reese the sunflower was born. 🌻 For her, attention is a miracle. Such a miracle that she believes in it wholeheartedly. If anyone is in need of someone to listen, Reese will lend an ear, or a petal, without a second thought. She’s a true ray of sunshine. I love how versatile this pattern is. The instructions are clear and well laid out. ✨ Pattern: @ruthlace_crochet Eyes: handmade by me

🌸🐉 Ophelia - The Orchid Dragon 🐉🌸 Here's Ophelia, my next design, coming soon to the @dragonrealmcal and my Etsy shop (link in bio). Let me introduce this little dragon to you: Ophelia is a little orchid dragon. She lives deep in the blooming forest. 🌲🌳 Magical beings hum and sum around everywhere: bumbum bees, mushy marsh traps, and much more. In the midst of the chaos Ophelia and her brothers and sisters live. Curiously, they didn’t hatch from eggs, they bloomed as a little buds from her mother orchid. Ophelia’s skin is green as apples 🍏, her crest a beautiful orchid flower. Her wings are small and leafy. At night, she curls them around herself, as the bumbum bees above hum her to sleep. 😴 Pattern: by me 🤗 #dragon #amigurumi #dragonrealmcal #crochet #orchid
