The Better to Eat You With!!!

Oh my gosh! What an incredibly long hiatus. Sorry guys, a looot has happened. There was the move to the new house, my extra teaching job, travel to Taiwan, and other distracting stuff. Damn! I wish days could be extended longer, 24 hours is clearly not enough for me anymore. >_< I really hate that I'm not crocheting as much as I used to and and I'm actually afraid that my hand has stiffened to the point where I wouldn't be able to do a single stitch. NOOOOOOOO! OoO Nightmare alert! Waaaaaaaah! I hope I get to have more time and create more cute gurumis. I miss it terribly. T_T 

Anyway, setting the drama aside... I made these dolls a long time ago and because we moved to a new house, Little Red Ridinghood got lost somewhere. Of course I was devastated when I couldn't find her. I was shamefully and literally in girly tears. I don't think I ever cried so much in my life. Why wouldn't I? Just one of this pair took me more than a month to make. It's no joke considering my schedule. So finding the doll again was no short of a miracle. I could not be happier. Oh my gosh! Life still loves me TvT 

Okay, enough about that and more on the cutie amigurumis... So I used my Draculaura pattern to  recreate one of childhood's beloved fairy tales. 

A little tweak here and a little tweak there and... Voila! Another softee masterpiece. ^^
