Rubber Duckie...You're The One.....

I've been missing for a few weeks. But now, I am back!!!! 

About a month ago, I found myself in the hospital with a ruptured appendix. This happened just two weeks before my husband and I were to leave on a cruise to celebrate our 30th anniversary. 
We were able to make the cruise...barely and had a great time. I'm sure I will be blogging about it soon.
While I was in the hospital, my sister sent me a cool video class on how to make these Amigurumi animals. I finally was able to sit down yesterday and take the class and finish it today.
So, what do you think? There are a few boo boo's, but for my first one, I don't think it's too bad. I learned a lot making this critter. I had never done any increasing or decreasing so I learned how to do those, and I had only done something in the round once, and I really did not know what I was doing (kinda made it up as I went). I learned THREE new things doing this cute little duckie. He is actually suppose to be a little bluebird, but since I had bright yellow and orange yarn on hand, I decided to change it up a bit.
Sox doesn't know quite what to think about the duck, but I thought the both of them looked good together....

  1. Congrats on your milestone... I guess a cruise isn't the WORST place to recuperate from emergency surgery LOL. Do make room for extra rest at home!

    1. I've been doing A LOT of that this last month. Just went to the doc and he told me I can go back to my normal daily routine. Went to my Pilates class today, and well, my daily routine is not gonna happen for awhile. I am soooo out of shape :P

    1. Thank you! They are pretty easy to make and go real fast. I think I might be doing a lot for Christmas
