Addicted to Food…

I don’t have many vices… in fact – some might argue – I don’t have any… except I am addicted to food.

On the lovely sunny Saturday afternoon – I am working on Amigurumi Book 2  – yes – Book 2 is underway… I am indulging myself with my allocation of food…

Yes – on diet number xx (so many I have lost count). This one seems to leave me without the hunger and makes me feel full – while effectively loosing 9 lbs in 3 weeks! So the conclusion is, it works. And it is perfect for those addicted to food. The secret is little but often…

Fish pie is on the menu for dinner – Can’t wait till Dinner O’Clock…

So long…

It has really been so long… life has moved on too…

Besides all the facinating Amigurumi stuff…

Lewis will be moving to Reception next week…

I am still looking for a “good” job…

While all this seems like I should be a free woman – well quite the opposite.

This morning has been filled with “Pasta Robot Making”

Amigurumi Book

The idea started 18 months ago – two friends getting together to write a book.

18 months later – here it is:

The work of Lan-Anh and me! Hours and hours of hard work, what seemed like endless late nights! My acquired phobia of crochet hooks and yarn… but it was worth it. Hard work, but definitely worth it…

The blurb of the book as described by the publisher:

“The craze for crocheting cute characters has swept Japan and now everyone can discover the appeal of the latest art form. Amigurumi – which literally means crocheted stuffed toy – is fast, fabulous and fantastic fun. The necessary techniques can be learned in minutes and its perfect for creative people of all ages.

This gorgeous new title features a range of inspiring designs for quirky and covetable creatures. The instructions are simple to follow and are accompanied by innovative, easy-to-read charts.”

The book will be on sale from retailers, including WH Smiths, Waterstones and Amazon from April 2010, though many copies are already sold through the Amazon pre-order.

A total of 30 designs. Full step-by-step photography on techniques. Suitable for absolute beginners!

Here are some sample pages from the book – we hope you like it :) All feedback very welcomed!!
