Oliver: Octopus Amish Puzzle Ball Pattern. Oliver the Octopus is a modified Amish Puzzle Ball. He comes apart into 3 segments that can be taken apart and reassembled at will. He is made from upcycled clothes – in this case an old torn Long Tall Sally Jean and a stained baby t-shirt. If you are put off because this project looks a bit complex, don’t be! It is quite simple, actually.
You just have to make a bunch of wedges (one of which contains a head) and then sew them all together. And if I can conquer my hate of hand-sewing to make this Octopus Amish Puzzle Ball, then so can you! Most of you will by now be familiar with my Amamani (Amigurumi Amish Puzzle Animals) – a series of crochet animals based on the traditional Amish puzzle ball.
My latest Amamani is Olive the Crochet Octopus Puzzle (free pattern available here). So allow me to show you how to make your very own Octopus Amish Puzzle Ball.

Count down to the Secret Garden Quilt pattern and tutorial, here is another group of applique pattern: the Songbird, Tree and Sun. From “Flowers“, “Ladybug, Butterfly & Snail“, this, and one more applique to go before we move into the final assembly of the quilt. Can’t wait to share it as soon as possible. Have I told you before that due to the considerable bountiful design of the Secret Garden Quilt, I have to split the tutorial into a few parts. By doing so, it also gives me more time to prepare the proper pattern in downloadable and printable pdf form.

Sock Monkey. Gosh… I am supposed to sew some thing for the Earth Month this April, but I can’t wait to sew these sock monkeys. My hands simply took over my head and see what I did after a few days and nights of sewing…. a house full of sock monkeys!!!! Do you love them? I have seen a lot of sock monkey photos hanging around friends’ photo albums in many photo sharing websites, so envy. These sock monkeys are so cute and so adorable that I would want to hug one, I bet my kids would love to have them to accompany too when mommy is busy with works.
Therefore, I went out to shop for some socks thinking that may be 4 to 5 pairs should be enough, I ended up with 20 pairs of colorful socks, simply can’t resist for not buying ;-).

I am working all the best I could, juggling the time between a day business that has nothing to do with craft and 2 kids running around at home, also a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland. As you may have noticed, I love to sew toys for my kids. Seeing them hugging the toys lovingly is all I want as a return of my late night crafting. This time is a set of 4 elephant family members, I called them “The Happy Elephant Family”, which resemble the size of my family, Dad-Mom-Daughter-Son.
