I totally agree with you about Amigurumi Adventures! The dolls are so cute, but that bullseye is so noticible to me! 😆 Thank you for mentioning my review! 🧡🧶
Oh I knit crochet and tat I’m 72 years old. I’ve done doilies doll clothes, socks, two at a time on a cable Shoals and a sweater or two. It’s a lot of fun.
That little glasses case is so darling 🥰🌼 I think I need one in my life. All of my glasses cases are so fricken ugly and bulky 😂 LOVE the watermelon coaster! Such a cute pairing. Screams summertime 😎⛱ I gotta say, I’m with you on the ‘bullseye head’ dilemma 😬 “She had no chance” 😂 Oh dear. Poor thing. I can see why you are torn. The outfits and accessories are so adorable. With your talent, I know you could do some adjusting and whip up a ‘non-bullseye’ noggin in a flash 😉 Benjamin Broccoli has stolen my heart 💚 Oh for Pete’s sake!! The mini granny square bag 🥹💕! ‘Cacticorn’ is giving me visions of a cactus corncob. I clearly need to see a therapist asap. LOVE the mug so much ✨👏 Bring on the mugs!! I have an ironing allergy too. Best allergy ever. ☺ The little notions pouch 🥹💕!! Ahh the cuteness!! Fab visit as always, gorgeous one 😘❤ You’ve left me wanting to trawl through Amazon for crochet books. Dangerous. Very dangerous 😂💕 xx
Hello dear Lee! Where are you, lady, I miss seeing you 🤗 That poor bearded bullseye bee, she has such potential to be adorable. I'll be making one of those cute dolls with a reworked head soon. My addiction to crochet books are quite scary...but I really need them ALL!
@@craftablyeverafter Best addiction to have 😉✨! Excited to see how you work your magic hook re. the head. I already know it’s going to be 1000% better 🥰 I’m almost ready to start making videos again 😊 I’ve also made a start on my ‘Mushroom Cat’ 😉Having a slightly alarming amount of fun with it already 😂! Xx
I actually really liked the little faces but I do completely understand what you are saying, once you’ve seen something you don’t like - it’s so hard to unsee it! I think Myrtle the bee is super cute 😊 and I love your melon pot holder!
I'm with the majority here, I don't care for the bullseye on the heads of those dolls. It is hard to unsee it. But the dolls are really cute and I think the bearded bee you made turned out perfectly. I enjoy your videos and seeing all the different crafts you try. You are really a creative soul! I've often thought about getting a Cricut, but do I really need another hobby? Yes, yes I do! Thank you for sharing!
Of course you need another hobby 😅😅 We are all creative souls 💕 The bee is starting to grow on me (although I have now removed the 'beard'...) 🐝😁. So I'll make another one of the dolls, but will try to rework or cover the bullseye.
Your little bee is lovely but I see what you mean about the heads and I don’t think I would be rushing to buy the book 😌 I laughed at the cacticorn mermaid 😂 I like the design of your logo and I wish I could make a zipper bag like yours so quickly. Ther is never enough time in the day for all our crafting 😂🐝🧸❤
Your bee is super cute.. but yes- bullseye face (and now I can't unsee her cheek-beard-lol!) is less than ideal. Love the melon potholder/trivet - I've been looking for a cute citrus pattern to turn into a granny square bag so that may fit the bill! Hope you have a great week!!
I think a citrus pattern granny square bag would be so adorable for Summer! The bee is growing on me, though I did remove the 'beard' 😅😅 I'm still in 2 minds about the bullseye...
I agree with you, Cassandra, that "third eye" is actually distracting. It reminds me of "Sparky Sparky Boom Man" from the Avatar cartoon. It's almost a design feature. It's a look, but just like in fashion, not everyone likes the same styles, the same styles don't work for everyone. No shame and no shade there! Caticorn... Cat + unicorn = caticorn? Plus a mer-tail... So 3 beasts rolled into one? Your mug turned out so beautifully!
Hello Mary 💕 You're absolutely correct, we all have different loves and preferences, and that's why there's a place for us all in this yarny community 🥰 I might just have to try another one of the dolls.
Hi Cassandra, I enjoyed seeing your projects and all your new acquisitions! I really want that book, but like you the bullseye bothers me too. I can't unsee it even though the dolls are so adorable. Maybe one day I will try that one, I am not sure. I've been intrigued by the Amigurumi people for a long time so I hope you make something out of it and let us know how it goes. I haven't seen the hello book before. I am in love with your zipper pouch and mug, you did so good! The bear logo is perfect for you 🤗🥰🐻
Hello Julie (I've just been watching your new video while answering comments 🥰). I definitely want to try the amigurumi people book, I think the patterns are adorable! I really like bear logo for my channel, now I just need to learn how to make stickers with the cricut 🐻😊
I am working on my #mixandmatchchallenge2024 cat while I watch! I think your mug and your cute little pouch both came out fab, you are being hard on yourself. Especially for a new hobby with new skills! I love the colors you chose for the mug and the liner of the bag too 🥰 That book and cute little bee ami: SAME. I have looked at those a lot and I think theyre so cute but I cant get past the magic circle in the middle of the forehead 😅😅my eyes just find it every time lol. I get what you are saying, to redesign without that would basically be to redo the entire pattern because they all have hair caps or hats and stuff that go with the headshape she uses. Kudos for giving it a try even though you weren't sure about it though!! LOL @ hubbies observation, they do look like little tufts of beard now that he said that hahaha.
Once you see a beard on a bee, you can't unsee it 🤣🤣 I want to rework the head, but I guess that will kill the entire vibe of the designer. O well, I will see where the bullseye road will take me 😜 Watched your video today and the progress on your mushroom cat, and I'm so excited to see the finished product! He going to be so cute 😻
Aww your 30 min pouch with the bear and logo is ADORABLE! I hope we can win it somehow🤣. If that logo becomes merch I think many of us would be interested. All of your makes were beautiful!
I love that pot holder idea...so cute! I actually don't think the bull's eye bothers me, but the cheeks...the cute bee growing a beard! 🤣 But, the designers dolls are cute and I also love the international dolls.
Hello Janna Kay 💕 Even though I'm not a fan of the head, I'm really glad to have the book. I like the patterns a lot, but will have to try and rework the head.
I love your cricut projects. The books are cool and are now on my wish list. My book list keeps getting longer and longer. I look forward to your videos every week.
The "bullseye" is so prominent to me I couldn't justify the purchase of the book. I do want to figure out another way to make that same shape. If I am successful, I will purchase the book. I think every design is absolutely exquisite.
I'm definitelt going to work on adapting the head to my taste, because I do love the various dolls in the book 🥰 I just don't know if I'll ever be able to live with the bullseye head.
The pot holder is cute! I need to make some. I made a doll from the Amigurumi Adventures yesterday! It looks like there’s a target on her head. And my hole didn’t get properly closed. Yours is much better. I’m going to try it again. The other books are in my wishlist as well, especially Amigurumi People. TUVA books are great.
I love your bear logo design. 😍 I think the mug and the pouch both turned out wonderfully! Gotta appreciate your husband's comments. Asking people who do not make amigurumi what they think of your amigurumi always provides fresh (and hilarious) insights. Even if your bee doll is growing a pink beard and has a target head, it's still pretty cute. 😄
Thanks, Robyn 🤗 My husband does have a different perspective on my toys sometimes 🤣🤣 I've since removed the beard, and the bee is growing on me 🐝💕 But, I'll probably still try and rework the head.
Hi Cassandra. I do have the Amigurumi Adventures book. I had the same feeling about the bullseye as you when I first looked through it. I was looking for patterns in the book that had hair or something covering it. Your bee came out cute though. I think your mug and notions pouch are so adorable. Take care.
Hi Cassandra, I couldn't unsee that bulls eye in the middle of the head, I don't think I could get past it. The doll you made is adorable but my eye kept being drawn to that bulls eye. I like the pot holder you made, it is a great idea with the cork trivet in there and the ability to remove the cover for washing. I just made a double thickness one which of course means double the work per project. I have been buying a few books on amazon lately also and have that last book you showed. I too was disappointed with it being a self published and very basic book. I almost felt that the cover was a bit misleading. I haven't made anything from it yet. The to many crafts not enough time is a problem in my house too. I like to stamp and watercolour, paper craft, sew and knit. I have a nanual die cutting machine (a big shot) but have not upgraded to a cricket, it might be pushing my luck to try and introduce another new craft (I just got needle felting stuff in the post today). I love the Craftably ever after stuff you made, super gorgeous.
Hello Michelle 🤗 I will only make another of those dolls if I can hide the bullseye, or rework the head. I feel so bad for being such a book snob, but I like the nice books with the glossy paper 😅🙈 I will forever wish to have more hours in a day to do be able to get to ALL the crafts!
Your bee is adorable! The head does not bother me but I agree with your husband about the cheeks. I never crochet those cheek blush circles when a pattern calls for it because that always bothers me. Lol I guess we each see different things.
I also usually prefer to leave the round crocheted circle cheeks off, and I have already removed the 'beard' off my little bee 😅 She does look a lot better already 🐝😍
A third eye! She is so beautiful , they all look lovely. If you love them you will hopefully be able to look past it and see what attracted you to them in the first place.
I have had the Amigurumi Adventures book in my amazon cart and keep putting it back. I have seen enough reviews now that it has been permanently removed. It's too bad that the dolls were designed in this way because they are so cute. Have fun with your Cricut. Your mug and bag are so cute. ❤️ I made my cat with blue overalls and the mushroom hat the weekend that the pattern was announced and I am so happy with how it turned out! There was a lot of mixing-and-matching of patterns. I just need to take its picture and send it to you. 😊
I'm going have to see how easy it would be to rework the head on those dolls, because for the most part I love the design. I'm so excited that so many people are joining the mix and match challenge 💕 I can't wait to show all the mushroom cats 🍄😻
The Bee is adorable, the bullseye doesn't bother me as much as the cheeks, lol, I don't see a beard, I see mumps, lol. Maybe it's because one of my most miserable childhood memories is having the mumps, lol, but the cheeks immediately made me think of mumps 😂 The eyeglass holder is cute and I really love the potholder, the covered corkboard is a really neat idea 💖
That poor bee 😅😅 I am for sure removing the 'beard', because she'll be much cuter without it. And you're right, she does look like she might actually have mumps (things for her are just getting worse and worse...😜).
I love your bear logo awesome job on it . I have been looking at some videos with people showing the book and the projects they have made it’s really nice but the bullseye I don’t like.it is always nice watching your videos.
Good morning! I saw that book at Micheal's and picked it up cause I thought the cover was so cute. Then I saw the bull's eyes and put it back on the shelf. Your bee is adorable! I'm not a big food maker, either. I have been looking at Crickets, also.🤣 I look forward to seeing your upcoming makes! ✌️🏻🤟🏻🧶
Hi Cassandra 🤗 I love all your makes! I have the same pot holders from ikea…I love what you did with it! I’ve added it my crochet to do list! Thank you for the shoutout! I don’t iron either 🤣😳 you’ve already mastered your new craft! 👏🏻👏🏻 I’ve being looking at cat patterns 🤔 Always lovely hanging out with you! 🥰🧶🤩
Hi i can see the bullseye to so i would change it to and make a normal head starting from the bottom and it would be a joint pattern continued from the body 😊
Jeez Louise! You are gonna work yourself to a frazzle. But I'm here for it... Your "objects de arte" are astounding. When you think it looks awkward or off-centered or whatever, I have always just said out loud "How CUUUTE!". You are much too critical of your own work. It's superb. Cricuit (sp?) is a money hog, but can also be a money maker if you sell at markets or on Etsy or others. Keep thrilling us with your crafts, plz. 🙋♀️
I need to find a way to retire early so that I have more crafting time 😅 Cricut materials are for sure a money hog, and it will never be able to replace the love I have for crochet (despite the super cute things I can make with it). Also, making amigurumi is fairly affordable (well...it would be if I stopped buying crochet books all the time 🤣🤣).
Hello Cassandra aaah your doll came out fabulous ❤ those cheeks though 😂 The lana choi book are the patterns written normally? The other book i have of hers are in symbols and charts… Yes Cricut 😮😮 i still havent played with mine enough❤
is it possible to make a widow's peak to cover that circle? i love the bee, but the moment i saw it, i was like it could use a peak instead of being round in the front. i would probably do a camel snout to cover the circle for the camel one. i was thinking about buying this book, but the reviews have definitely made me think twice. the mug is too cute. my son bought me a mini cricket. haven't figured out how it works yet...lol! love the pouch as well.
I'm sure there's something I could try and figure out to cover that bullseye, just like she did with the crocodile pattern in that book. I'm still torn about this book, because for the most part the patterns are adorable!
I was very disappointed in the first book you showed. I was not expecting the flat head design. And I agree with you, I hate the head shape! I did Scarlet page 63, but I will never do a flat head again. Soo soo disappointed!
It's definitely not my favourite look for a doll, but I fully understand that the designer has a very unique style. I will have to remake one of the dolls with a different shaped head, and see how it turns out 😊
Re the head bobble, can you give any more info about how you secured it so tightly because the instructions just say to attach and work through all of the stitches. Is the edge of the head "disc" seated down in the neck? I can ignore the bull's eye but I can't ignore the floppy head issue.
Hello Nova 💕 As I remember, the edge of the head does sit slightly 'into' the neck (as you work from an open neck onto a closed head). I pulled my connecting stitches very tight, and went round twice to make sure.
@@craftablyeverafter Thanks Cassandra I will try that! I just realized she has a note on special stitches in the front of the book for attaching the head. And I see what you are saying , she does start a few rows higher. Okay, off to do some neck surgery!
That’s okay, say hate. I feel the same about the circle and thus have not purchased the book. The bee is so cute. Remake it with a normal head and blush for cheeks. Then it will be perfect. I don’t care for applied cheeks, but, now, I see a beard and a bullseye.
Even though I did make one afterwards with a regular head, I'm not sure I would reach for this pattern book as often as for some of my other doll books. I do appreciate the unique look the designer was going for, but it's just not my style 😁
I also don't like the bullseye head. I would have to use a regular head as it can be attached to the body easily. I would blush the cheeks with makeup rather than attach those yarn circles for cheeks.
It doesn't work for me, either, but I'm sure lots will like it. I showed Nick your insta post when we were out and we both said it looked like it was made for target practice.
I totally agree with you about Amigurumi Adventures! The dolls are so cute, but that bullseye is so noticible to me! 😆 Thank you for mentioning my review! 🧡🧶
I really enjoy you book review videos 💕 I don't seem to be able to look past the bullseye of those patterns 😅
Oh I knit crochet and tat I’m 72 years old. I’ve done doilies doll clothes, socks, two at a time on a cable Shoals and a sweater or two. It’s a lot of fun.
That little glasses case is so darling 🥰🌼 I think I need one in my life. All of my glasses cases are so fricken ugly and bulky 😂
LOVE the watermelon coaster! Such a cute pairing. Screams summertime 😎⛱
I gotta say, I’m with you on the ‘bullseye head’ dilemma 😬
“She had no chance” 😂 Oh dear. Poor thing.
I can see why you are torn. The outfits and accessories are so adorable. With your talent, I know you could do some adjusting and whip up a ‘non-bullseye’ noggin in a flash 😉
Benjamin Broccoli has stolen my heart 💚
Oh for Pete’s sake!! The mini granny square bag 🥹💕!
‘Cacticorn’ is giving me visions of a cactus corncob. I clearly need to see a therapist asap.

Thanks, Kathleen 🌸 At least the bearded bullseye bee is fulfilling her destiny as making people laugh 🤣🤣 Poor thing!
I agree with you, Cassandra, that "third eye" is actually distracting. It reminds me of "Sparky Sparky Boom Man" from the Avatar cartoon. It's almost a design feature. It's a look, but just like in fashion, not everyone likes the same styles, the same styles don't work for everyone. No shame and no shade there!

When you think it looks awkward or off-centered or whatever, I have always just said out loud "How CUUUTE!". You are much too critical of your own work. It's superb. Cricuit (sp?) is a money hog, but can also be a money maker if you sell at markets or on Etsy or others. Keep thrilling us with your crafts, plz. 🙋♀️
I need to find a way to retire early so that I have more crafting time 😅 Cricut materials are for sure a money hog, and it will never be able to replace the love I have for crochet (despite the super cute things I can make with it). Also, making amigurumi is fairly affordable (well...it would be if I stopped buying crochet books all the time 🤣🤣).

You could start a cricuit merch line to fund your crochet fun. Ppl make $$ on merch...
Hello Cassandra aaah your doll came out fabulous ❤ those cheeks though 😂
The lana choi book are the patterns written normally? The other book i have of hers are in symbols and charts…
Yes Cricut 😮😮 i still havent played with mine enough❤
Hello Caroline 🥰 That poor bee 😅 I need to remove the cheeks!
The Lana Choi book has regular written patterns, no charts in this one 😉
is it possible to make a widow's peak to cover that circle? i love the bee, but the moment i saw it, i was like it could use a peak instead of being round in the front. i would probably do a camel snout to cover the circle for the camel one. i was thinking about buying this book, but the reviews have definitely made me think twice. the mug is too cute. my son bought me a mini cricket. haven't figured out how it works yet...lol! love the pouch as well.
I'm sure there's something I could try and figure out to cover that bullseye, just like she did with the crocodile pattern in that book. I'm still torn about this book, because for the most part the patterns are adorable!
I was very disappointed in the first book you showed. I was not expecting the flat head design. And I agree with you, I hate the head shape! I did Scarlet page 63, but I will never do a flat head again. Soo soo disappointed!
It's definitely not my favourite look for a doll, but I fully understand that the designer has a very unique style. I will have to remake one of the dolls with a different shaped head, and see how it turns out 😊
Re the head bobble, can you give any more info about how you secured it so tightly because the instructions just say to attach and work through all of the stitches. Is the edge of the head "disc" seated down in the neck? I can ignore the bull's eye but I can't ignore the floppy head issue.
Hello Nova 💕 As I remember, the edge of the head does sit slightly 'into' the neck (as you work from an open neck onto a closed head). I pulled my connecting stitches very tight, and went round twice to make sure.
@@craftablyeverafter Thanks Cassandra I will try that! I just realized she has a note on special stitches in the front of the book for attaching the head. And I see what you are saying , she does start a few rows higher. Okay, off to do some neck surgery!
That’s okay, say hate. I feel the same about the circle and thus have not purchased the book. The bee is so cute. Remake it with a normal head and blush for cheeks. Then it will be perfect. I don’t care for applied cheeks, but, now, I see a beard and a bullseye.
Even though I did make one afterwards with a regular head, I'm not sure I would reach for this pattern book as often as for some of my other doll books. I do appreciate the unique look the designer was going for, but it's just not my style 😁
I would resew it so the bullseye is at top and bottom
I'm definitely going to rework the head somehow 😉
I also don't like the bullseye head. I would have to use a regular head as it can be attached to the body easily. I would blush the cheeks with makeup rather than attach those yarn circles for cheeks.
I'm definitely removing those cheeks from the bee. That's the least I can do for that poor thing 🐝😅 I'm going to try and rework the head.
It doesn't work for me, either, but I'm sure lots will like it. I showed Nick your insta post when we were out and we both said it looked like it was made for target practice.
Target practice 🤣🤣🤣 I was hoping I'd be able to look past the head, but nope!
@@craftablyeverafter no, some things are just glaringly obvious. 😊🧡
Do you know by any chance the new book Lulu Crochet Dolls if it is printed in UK or US terms? I noticed a lot of dc in the patterns?
I'm not sure. But if there's a lot of dc in an amigurumi pattern, I would guess it's usually UK terms 🌸
@@craftablyeverafter thank you for your response. My thoughts exactly.
Definitely will not be buying that book the patterns are very cute but I also can't see past the Bullseye 😂 and now the beard thanks for that ❤
I'm going to try and recreate the head, because the patterns are cute 😊 And I'll have to rework the 'beard' 🤣🤣
pour little thing he is cute now a beard 😅
That poor bee 🐝🤣🤣
