In the past few months I was busy with my work, my family and our animals. An operation on my shoulder stopped me completely and crocheting was almost impossible. It became very quiet on my blog “Amilovesgurumi”.
Now the world also seems to stand still – and in this crisis I slowly found my way back to crocheting. With a lot of breaks I was able to develop a small amigurumi. Continue reading Lea, the robot girl

A little fish
My Greek girlfriend rarely swims in the sea, she likes to enter and talk about all sorts of things. This is what a successful day at the beach looks like for her. I, on the other hand, like swimming and moving in the water, unthinkable for me to just stand inside and do nothing.

New Pattern: Small rabbit
I wanted to crochet a little rabbit for a long time. It was supposed to look like a real rabbit and I wanted to sew as few pieces as possible. I tried this once in the spring, but I was not really happy with my result.

Gray, Gray, Gray, these are my clothes …
Actually I wanted to crochet a gray mouse, but then I decided to make my mouse with the color ecru. Now I had to decide about the colors for the dress, and I thought that gray with a contrasting color looks quite well.
The secret life of mice and more


Hector and Paprika, the little field mice, had been playing catch and hide and seek all morning. When they got tired, they sat down on the boards of an old barn and enjoyed the first rays of spring sunshine.
Daddy is expecting a baby
Can a man get pregnant?
Yes … – if it is a seahorse. Seahorses are the only animals in the world where males carry babies. When two seahorses find each other, a long love and romantic dance begins. They rub their cheeks together and hold hands, oops, I mean they hook their tails together. Then the female puts her eggs in the belly pocket of the male. Once fully developed, they hatch and go foraging by themselves.
