My creative space

I've finished two amigurumi today.  The first is a chilli made from acrylic yarn.  I'm thinking he'll look very cute on a keychain or as a handbag charm:

Next is the long awaited Maneki Neko.  This one is a prototype - I'm happy with it apart from the arm.  Something to do with the way I attached it to the body made it go in.  I think I'll try another one with an increased row of stitched at the end of the arm so it blends with the body a little better:

I'll have the next one made up soon (probably in pink), although college work is getting in the way a bit this week ;-).  The Chillis (or Chilligurumi!) will be available in my Folksy shop soon.
