Look at these needle-felted cuties!!! Made by Milo&Ben.
A huge thank you to all new and longtime followers who’ve been a part of this blog in any way! Thank you for the laughs, the squees, and the good memories. :) I wish you much happiness this year, and the next, and the next.
Please stick around for lots of crafty craziness to come. Warning: my activity on A Morning Cup of Jo is slowing down a bit while I get everything else figured out (read more at: A Morning Cup of Jo Creations), so my apologies in advance for any neglect. I promise that I still love you all, and will forever love hearing from you. :)
On that note, let’s get the ball rolling! I’d greatly appreciate your feedback regarding some new ideas this year:
.
1. From my 2011 collection, which animal was your favorite? And for which one do you most want to see a crochet pattern?
.
2. What kinds of nature-inspired and eco-friendly party favors, details, or gifts do you think I should make for special events? My aunt and I have already brainstormed a list of crafts we really want to make for an online shop, and I’d love to hear your input as well!! :D
.
3. What new amigurumi animals/objects would you like me to design for you in 2012?
.

If all goes well, I’ll have all of the participants entered into a random generator before the year ends. It might take a while because I want to make sure the raffle is fair, which means I’ll be going through every reblog to see if guidelines were followed.
I’m aiming to announce the winners next Saturday morning (December 31st, 2011), so stay tuned! More details to come.
Come visit my NEW TUMBLR! (A Morning Cup of Jo Creations)
This blog is a place for all the amigurumi creations I design and crochet. Here is where we celebrate the journey as well as the destination, so you’ll find lots of work-in-progress photos, lengthy posts about the process, and fun memories collected along the way. Welcome to our home and please join us in our little adventures! I hope you enjoy your stay. <3 Josephine
New Blog: A Morning Cup of Jo Creations
The “MY CREATIONS! :)” page was becoming too cumbersome, so I’m now archiving my crocheted/sewn goodies in a separate Tumblr! :) I’ll still be doing my thing on A Morning Cup of Jo, but the other blog will be dedicated solely to my own designs. It’s like a “behind the scenes” look into my creations! If reading more about these little creatures interests you, please stop by sometime! :D
