The mermaid is beautiful. The detail of her hair and dress. The eyes are so well embroidered. I love the little fishing bear with hi backpack and hat 🧜♀️🐻❤
Cassandra, I love your mermaid, and those blue eyes are the best.She is more than a mermaid. I have that book and now I will have to make one. I, too, am a bit of a hoarder and have toys in my craft room and here and there around the house. I have special ones that only come out on the various holidays. Thanks for the great visit.
I think this is by far, My absolute Favorite ami you have made. I Love love this character. Your mermaid is a girl after my heart as well. Lots of love Cassandra I think she is holding a cake with a toy boat on top 😋
Oh my goodness. I love your mermaid. She made me giggle. Then the camping bear was so, so cute. You have outdone yourself this week. Sadly I feel I am losing out on the fun, but if I am going to finish my Christmas gifts, I have got to stay focused. I am now working on the border of the next to last one. So since September, I have finished three of five afghans. The one I am working on now has been the most difficult and I have had to make adjustments to keep on going. I hate it when a make goes that way. I don't lose one or two stitches, but twenty or thirty. How does one do that? Crafty Clegg has already put this one down, but I have to keep going because it is a gift. It is quite beautiful, but keeping up with stitch counts has caused me great distress. The last one is for charity, and I don't think it will be as difficult because I have made all of the blocks. I will be back with you guys as soon as I get all of this done.
I love that mermaid!! She turned out so cute, she’s on my list to make. You are so busy! I wish I had as much energy as you do 😀. Have a wonderful weekend 💖💖💖
FINALLY!! A chunky mermaid! My dreams have come true, 😂😊😂. I agree , her blue eyes are gorgeous! OH, the “beekeeper” bear makes an appearance! YAY!!! I love it, put the pole wherever you like. It’s because you’re a mom, and it’s absolutely amazing what all we can carry, 😉🤣
I love your mermaid! She is so beautiful 💞 I get a kick out of hearing the stories you have with your ami's . I think I can identify with your mermaid also 💞I also love your bear. My dad loved to fish so when you come out with the pattern I want to make one in his memory 🐻🎣
Hi Cassandra! Oh my goodness, she is fantastic. I just love everything about her, including her curves. A girl after my own heart. Her eyes are stunning. Your fishing bear is wonderful too. His accessories are amazing, and yes you can put his fishing pole anywhere you like!😂His off to the side grin, he is getting read to tell us about the one that got away! Great job. See you next week. 💕
A gorgeous curvy-licious mermaid!? 🤯💕 Excuse me whilst I FINALLY go and press ‘buy’ on my cart for this flipping book! SHE IS A QUEEN ✨ Those blue eyes are so striking and I love your colour choices 😘🤌 Her hair…is spectacular but is also making me shudder 😂 it looks like SUCH a lot of work went into it, but my goodness it is truly beautiful ❤ You’re 100% right. Nothing too scary with these patterns, but man, they soak up some hours. Her little boat is so sweet 🥹💕 If gingerbread boats aren’t a thing, they need to be asap. Oh jeez 🥹🐻 Camping bear 🥰 that backpack is everything. 😘❤ Xx
What a beautiful mermaid! I am glad you persevered. You're right - we know our limits when it comes to patience with patterns. Some fiddly details just aren't worth it 😂 Have a lovely week!
Oh wow! That mermaide is beautiful! I love all the little details! And I love your camping bear! Too funny the comment about the pole, I don't fish, so I can put it where I want! Haha! My kind of thinking :)
Love your mermaid and camping bear! They are both very cute! I have a new toy poodle puppy named Daisy and she's keeping me very busy right now! When she naps, I can crochet! Lol!
Hi Cassandra, wow! your mermaid is so adorable!! Your camping bear is so cute! The accessories are fantastic. I love commenting and no worries if you don't comment back.
I have a feeling that Justina has a recipe for gingerbread boats. Perhaps you should ask her about that. Now we are ALL hungry for gingerbread ships with lots of icing and deliciousness! If she will release her secret recipe, perhaps she will just allow those of us who follow you to use her recipe!
Cassandra, another awesome project!! I so look forward to seeing what everyone is coming up with each week!! I absolutely love her!! Are you sure she can't come to live with me in the States???!!! 😊
I love that more patterns are "curvalicious" in books - your mermaid is beautiful and relatable! I'm sure she made extra cakes because you should always sample one (or five) before taking them to an event 😂 Your bear is adorable 🥰 Do you use the same size yarn for embroidery or do you use a thinner yarn?
Hi Nic 🤗 She does look like an excellent sampler of cake 😅 Also liking the curvier amis. For the embroidery on the mermaid (and most of my amis), I use the same weight of yarn (#2 sport weight). I do have a lot of #1 weight cotton as well, and depending on what's closest at the time of embroidering the face, I might that use that as well. If I make an ami with DK or Worsted, I'll use my #2 weight cotton for the embroidering.
@craftablyeverafter Thank you for always sharing your craft and how you do it 🧡 I am going to try embroidery eyes after I finish the projects with deadlines this year.
She is fantastic! What a sweet mermaid.she has such detail ❤

Thanks, Caroline 💕 I have fallen in love with the patterns from these books! And I think this mermaid is pretty high on my list of favourite makes.
This mermaid "takes the cake!" I love her! Your bear is precious.
😅 Thanks, Janna Kay 🍰🍰
Beautiful mermaid! Gotta love a young boy’s perspective.😂

That is definitely a gingerbread boat with iced sails and I want to eat it! 😋 She's fantastic. ❤
Have been craving a boat made out of gingerbread since I filmed this video yesterday 😅😅

We need more curvy amigurumis 😊😊 And a big yes on gingerbread boats 😅 I've been craving one for the past 2 days now!

This CAL is even more fun than I thought it would be. Love seeing all the nautical makes from everyone every week ❤❤
I also thought the ears looked like earings.
