This idea was also spurred by a suggestion from my workplace. It’s so nice that my co-workers are so encouraging and supportive of my hobby! They not only offer moral support, but also give me great ideas!

Our Mrs Claus Christmas monkey amigurumi has almost everything the real Mrs Claus has, like a cute apron and a…night cap/shower cap? Sorry, my vocabulary is quite lacking, but you know what I mean! She even has some holly to be extra festive! Pictured above, she is in the kitchen, ready to bake some cookies for when Santa monkey amigurumi comes home from a busy night of gift delivery.

Here’s a closer look at the back of our Mrs Claus monkey. The lace of her apron was simply lightly glued onto her body. I spent a really long time knitting her cap, using a very small crochet hook and very thin yarn. I’m almost willing to bet the total number of stitches for the cap is greater than the number stitches needed to crochet the whole monkey itself! My mom thought I was crazy for crocheting such a large cap, but I just didn’t think the Mrs Claus Christmas monkey amigurumi would look complete without a cozy cap to at least cover her big ears!

The only thing I wish I knew how to do, is to give her some white curly hair. I guess I could have used some curly doll hair from the craft store, but then I’d have to glue the hair onto her head, which just seems too messy. Anyone have any recommendations on how to add hair to amigurumis? I’m clueless!

All right! Mrs Claus Christmas monkey amigurumi is ready to welcome Santa monkey amigurumi home with her delicious home-made amigurumi cookies!

Say what, Santa monkey amigurumi? You’ve eaten your fill of milk and cookies to last you until next Christmas? Well, too bad, that’s all I made!

Our Santa Claus monkey amigurumi sits proudly on display in front of our Christmas tree. All the little Christmas decorations we collected over the years really came in handy for this photo shoot. The little house was just the right size for taking pictures with the Santa monkey amigurumi. Time for some side views!

It’s that time of the year again–let’s celebrate it with a Rock Lee amigurumi!!!

Spent all of yesterday celebrating our brother’s birthday at the beach! Was thinking about posting this sooner…but then he’d see it and our little birthday amigurumi surprise would be ruined! Just like how he spoiled his own birthday surprise a few years ago when he spotted our R2D2 amigurumi with his crazy hawk eye for anything Star Wars…but this time we were successful!! 
:d

Rock Lee is from Naruto, a ninja anime that’s been going on for many many years now. He’s supposed to bear a resemblance to Bruce Lee in both looks and fighting style. Making this Rock Lee amigurumi was very hard! Sure, he looks pretty plain and easy to make, but those bulging eyes, thick brows, eyelashes, and hair were a big pain to cut and make! Especially since it comes straight out of an anime where everything is drawn so that the characters look the same everyday.

Yes, we can do other things besides monkey amigurumis…like a tiger amigurumi!

This tiger amigurumi is supposed to go along with the Chinese zodiac theme, but it seems like we’ll be doing the animals out of order and depending on our mood. I mean who can resist a tiger in the middle of the rabbit year? If we seriously decided to post the animal of the year in order and in a timely fashion then you’d have to stay tuned for another eleven years!! Yep, crazy indeed. But if you’d like to stick around for that long then you are more than welcome to!

So here is the side view of our tiger amigurumi…nice and round from all the rabbits he ate. Ha ha, no tigers eat better things… like human food!

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I became inspired to make a Valentines day monkey amigurumi! This was the first time I ever tried making the monkey amigurumi another color besides brown and gray. I was excited to see how just changing the color palette would affect the overall look, and it definitely made a big difference!

Somehow it just looks extra sweet and tasty! Or maybe I’m just craving some Valentine’s sweetheart candies right now…Either way, it still looks cute! The eyes also seem to sparkle more, perhaps due to the whiteness of the felt behind it.
We also substituted the usual banana snack with a felt heart plush for the Valentine monkey amigurumi to snuggle. It was pretty hard to convince the monkey to let go of the bananas, but she finally gave in when we promised her a whole bushel of bananas later. Monkeys nowadays, really…
Here are some more pics:

The chair in the background actually was a spontaneous add-in to the photo-shoot. It was a chair my sister and I used to play with during our childhood days, and had lost into the oblivion of the crack against your bed and wall, you know that one right? After all these years she just found it the day before we took the photos and it just so happened to have a heart shape to it too! It must have been fate. I think it really completes the look of the Valentine’s monkey amigurumi.
The Valentines day monkey amigurumi is available for purchase at my Etsy. Happy Valentine’s Day! <3
