joi de vivre

oh happy little friends that make me nothing short of giddy! i have neither owned nor made either of these crafts (my birthday is in july *ahem*), however the very idea of them is almost more than i can bare. first we have the felted animal. OH! how i love them so. what could be more perfect than a baby hedghog and its mama??? not much in this world i can assure you.



then we come to the beloved japanese craft of amigurumi! these are dolls crocheted into the cutest little things! like animals and cupcakes and other cute things that no one can live without!

the hardest part of this post was picking the photos. there are so many many millions of amazingly cute and perfect little dolls that it was so hard to pick the ones that i liked more than others! it's almost not possible, but these are pretty good representations. and these crafts are something i should be aspiring to make.

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I WANT TO CRY!!!
