This Crochet Porcupine Pincusion consists of a prickle of porcupines, and they can be pretty cute. But perhaps more importantly, they are very useful, very practical. They accommodate needles of many sizes and they help organise them most efficiently.

I thought I still had summer time so out popped this lacy crochet top. I wanted to create something that was summery and that could be worn casually as well as could be dressed up.

Peony Wabbit is another of my large amigurumi bunnies. She is, we think, adorable and we carry her just like as if she is a real baby!! 😀
Peony with flower in her ear, handmade fashion, large eyes with eyelashes is just like a big baby. She loves to be carried, cuddled, and brought to see new faces, places, and things. I wish her a life of love and adventure.

I choose to make the lining for my bags after everything else has been completed. (See index in How to Make Mochila Wayuu Bags.) Traditional Wayuu bags are generally un-lined.

With lining, I can add pockets – which is always a desirable feature. The downside is … yup! More work!
