I finish the Triceratops!

...& that means I can start with my piggies for our Crochet Along :) I'm going to AC Moore today to buy chunky yarn to see how big they'll turn out! How are yours coming along? Send me some pics!

***Termine el dinosaurio! Asi que ahora puedo empezar con mis chanchitos para el Crochet Along :) Hoy voy a ir a comprar lana super gordita para ver lo grandes que quedan! Los de uds como van? Mandenme alguna foto!

I hope you like the new dinosaur :)

I hope you're having a great week- Summer's going fast, isn't it?

Espero que esten teniendo una semana re linda - las vacaciones se estan yendo muy rapido :(

Triceratops head!

I'm finishing his body & tail today :) I've been a little obsessed with crocheting dinosaurs lately!

*** Hoy termino el cuerpito y la cola :)  Ultimamente estoy un poco obsesionada con hacer dinosaurios!

Look at these new patterns in the shop:

As soon as I'm done with my triceratops I'll start on my piggies! I'm planning to make them with chunky yarn, I want to see how big they turn out :)

Have you started on yours?

**Apenas termine con el triceratops empiezo con mis chanchitos, los voy a tejer con lana de la mas gordita para ver lo grande que me quedan :)

If you haven't already, don't forget to join our Crochet Along!  

It's so much fun to see how everybody adds their little unique touches to the same toy :)

I hope you're having the nicest Wednesday, the weather here today is beautiful!

Oink, oink! ;)

These are the pigs we'll use for our second Crochet Along :)

First of all you have to get the pattern!
You can find the pattern right here in my Etsy shop, or buy it from Ravelry and download it right away!

You can also make the pigs from "Amigurumi Toy Box" or "Jacinta the Pig" if you have them :)

**important** If you want to do the crochet-along and right now you can't afford it, please PLEASE e-mail me to anapaulaolicrochet@gmail.com and I'll send you the pattern.

You have until August 24th to finish your pig(s) and either e-mail me a pic (or more) to anapaulaolicrochet@gmail.com, tag it/them with "Ana Paula Rimoli crochet patterns" in our Facebook page, or post them/in our Flickr group (and when I say "our" I mean yours and mine).

On the 24th I'll pick my 5 favorite ones and post them here and in Facebook, and you guys will get to vote for your favorite one :)
The winner will get $25 towards patterns or toys from my Etsy shop!

Keep in mind that you don't have to make them *exactly* like mine! You can change colors, make them extra decorations, crochet them with a bigger hook (the pattern calls for a J) and chunky yarn and make them really big, etc.
I CAN NOT WAIT to see how your piggies come out!
Please write if you have any questions
Hugs!

                                 A very happy whale :)

                               

And then, again, my computer died! It seems like it happens every other month, and I'm beginning to think it's me :(
**  Y para variar, otra vez, se me rompio la computadora! Parece que me pasa cada dos meses, y estoy empezando a asumir que el problema soy yo :(

I'm working on a new pattern right now, it should be cute when it's done :)
Estoy haciendo un patron nuevo, me parece que va a quedar re lindo!

I hope you have the nicest week, chau!
**Que tengan una muy muy linda semana, beso!

& now it's raining! :p

& ahora esta lloviendo! :p

Last Sunday we did the 4-mile MS Walk with the girls and some friends and it was a lot of fun! The only bad thing is that it took me the whole day yesterday to feel like myself again! I went to bed at 9:30, which is really really early for me (I usually go to sleep between 11:30 & 12). I don't know if I should blame my MS or the fact that I'm going to be 35 this year and I'm just getting old. Plus this crocheting thing isn't the most athletic thing, you know? ;)

**El domingo pasado hicimos una caminata para MS (4 millas, que ni idea cuantos km son, pero parecio un monton) con las nenas y unos amigos y estuvo muy divertido. Lo unico malo es que me llevo todo el dia ayer recuperarme. Me acoste a las 9:30, que para mi es recontra temprano (gralmente me voy a la camita entre las 11:30 y las 12). No se si tengo que culpar a mi MS o los 35 que se me vienen... toy vieja che! Ademas esto del crochet no es de lo mas activo, vio? ;)

I'm working on a new toy that I think is really cute (the idea, at least, is really cute). I've already started it (and taken it apart) twice and I think this is it. I just have a couple more parts and I'll show you to see what you think :)
**  Estoy trabajando en un juguete nuevo que es adorado (bueno, la idea es adorada). Ya lo empece (y desarme) dos veces, pero me parece que ahora estamos. Solo me faltan unas partecitas mas y les muestro para ver que piensan :)

Because I got so frustrated with that project I took a little time off and made this little bunny and carrot :)
**Como me frustre tanto con ese proyecto me tome un tiempito e hice este conejo :)

The pattern is in my Etsy shop and in Ravelry (if you buy it by clicking the button you can dowload it right away!)

The weather's crazy! *** El tiempo esta totalmente loco!

At the beginning of the week I was in the playground with the girls and they were wearing long sleeved shirts, no coat, and it was warm and sunny. Today it's freezing again, and it's kind of snowing! What's going on?!!!
**Al ppio de la semana estaba en la placita con las nenas, que tenian unos bucitos manga larga sin abrigo, estaba lindo, soleado... Hoy hace un frio terrible, y medio que quiere nevar! Cual es?!!!

And I know it's wrong to be complaining, considering what Japan is going through. I can't even begin to imagine the pain... I wish I could do something to make it all go away. In the midtime, and I know it's been posted everywhere, but we can all help at least a little. I always like to help Unicef...
**Y ya se que esta mal quejarme de tanta pavada mientras que la gente en Japon esta pasando por lo que esta pasando. No me da la cabeza para empezar a imaginarme el dolor y la desesperacion de tanta familia... Ojala puedieramos hacer algo para que pasara todo, no?  Mientras tanto, se puede hacer un poquito. A mi siempre me gusta ayudar a Unicef...

That's it for today, thank you for liking the cats :)  Here's my new Easter pattern: a little chick and its bunny box/house :) Happy weekend!   

**Y eso es todo por hoy! Aca va el patron nuevo para Pascuas: un pollito y su casita de conejo (!)
Feliz fin de semana!

New Pattern! / Patron nuevo!

 it was about time! ;)

ps: if you want to make the little snowmen, the pattern is in the shop!
& also in Ravelry:

What to do when you're moving and have three million things to pack and organize?

Well, crochet, of course! (I'm the worst procrastinator in the planet)
I made a little puppy, and then one with a dragon outfit :)
(The patterns are in the shop if you want to make your own)

*Que se hace cuando uno se esta por mudar y tiene tres millones de cosas para hacer?...
Un poquito de crochet, OBVIO! (Soy la peor)
Hice un perrito, y despues otro disfrazadito de dragon :)
(Si quieren hacer unos, los patrones estan en la tienda)




My excuse (to myself) was that it's difficult to try and pack with the girls around, so I just had to help Oli with her embroidery (she can't thread the needle yet)... isn't this the cutest?

**Mi super excusa (a mi misma) fue que nada, es re dificil tratar de poner cosas en cajas y tal con las nenas en la vuelta, asi que le tuve que ayudar a la Oli con su bordado (todavia no puede enhebrar)... no que le quedo re lindo?


& then the girls went to bed, and Franco had to prepare classes, and I was tired (...), so I made this Super Hero cutie stamp for hola

**& despues de que las nenas se fueron a dormir, Franco tuvo que preparar unas clases y que se yo, y yo estaba re cansada (...), asi que hice el sellito este de una nena super heroe :)

& then the guilt started eating me up and today I boxed almost all my clothes, and all the girls' clothes, & I have a midterm, so I'm going to go study.
I really HATE the moving process, I can't wait for it to be over and be in the little house. I'm really excited, though. Did I tell you that my yarn is taking a little room over? :) :) :)
That's it for today, wish me good luck!

**La verdad que me acoste sintiendome medio culpable, asi que hoy casi casi termino con toda la ropa de las nenas y la mia, y como tengo un parcial hoy de noche ahora me voy a estudiar.
La verdad que ODIO el proceso de la mudanza, quiero estar en la casita nueva ya mismo. Che, les dije que mi lana va a tener su propio cuartito? :) :) :)
Bue, las dejo por aca, beso!

Finally a new pattern!

Ever since my dad passed away I've been having the worst time coming up with new toys :(

But then last week I was thinking about the toys I really really liked when I was little, and they were always the ones with clothes and accessories and little extra things that got lost all the time :)

So I made these two "AmiFriends" with removable clothes and lots of ideas for new clothes and friends and little stuff. Oh, the possibilities!

**Desde que se murio mi padre que me esta costando horrible pensar en juguetes nuevos :(

Pero bueno, la semana pasada me puse a pensar en los juguetes que me gustaban a mi cuando era chica, y eran siempre los que tenian ropita y accesorios y cositas chiquitas extras que siempre se perdian :)

Asi que hice estos dos gatitos, con ropita que se les puede sacar, y un monton de ideas para amigos y mas ropa y cositas...

Look! I've already made the little girl some Halloween customes :)

**Miren! Ya le hice unos disfraces para Halloween a la nena :)

AmiFriends 1 is already posted in the shop, & it includes the two cats, her dress & his pants and shirt :)
**Ya puse el patron 1 en la tiendita, e incluye los gatos, el vestidito blanco, los pantalones y el bucito :)

It's so nice and cozy and rainy here, I love it!
**Hoy esta lindo y lluvioso, y tengo ropa abrigada, me encanta!

New pattern!

A little teddy that doubles as a pajama bag for a little baby, or a bag to store random stuff for an older kid :)
*Un osito que sirve para guardar el pijama de un bebito, o para guardar cositas de un nene mas grande :)
Beso!

ps: que post cortito!

I really don't know what to say...

"thank you" seems kind of lame, and I can't think of anything else.

HUGE THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, I'm so overwhelmed by how extremely nice and kind you all are I really don't know what I could say to let you know how grateful and amazed and no se, MUCHAS MUCHAS GRACIAS por ser tan adoradas.

*muchas muchas gracias (que queda recontra chiquito) por ser tan tan adoradas y buenas y hacerme sentir querida, no se hacen una idea de lo que me ayuda, besote*

You know, the shots are not bad at all. They gave me this injector thingie where I put the injection in and I don't even have to see the needle! I don't think I could do it without it, I just push a button, count to 10, and I'm done!

& the only bad thing about it is that I'm getting really bad headaches, and I've been having some trouble sleeping, but other than that, no ms symptoms at all! :) The side effects are supposed to dissappear once your body gets used to the medicine, so I'm on my way!

*al final las inyecciones no son tan malas. Me dieron un aparatito en el que pongo la inyeccion y ni siquiera tengo que ver la aguja (menos mal, porque les tengo terror). Esta barbaro, lo unico que tengo que hacer es apretar un boton, contar hasta 10, y pronto!

Lo unico malo es que me estan dando unos dolores de cabeza de terror, y me esta costando dormirme, pero supuestamente una vez que el cuerpo se acostumbra al medicamento pasa, asi que bueno, 'toy en camino :) & ademas no tengo ningun sintoma del ms de miercoles, asi que buenisimo :)

AND Olivia learned to crochet! :) We had tried before, but she's left-handed (I'm not), and she couldn't get it, and I couldn't explain it right, so last Friday we finally learned together to crochet with our left hands. It was good, because I could really see and feel how difficult it was to crochet for the first time. On Saturday morning when I woke up there she was, on the couch and with her pajamas on, crocheting the longest chain I've ever seen :)

& because I'm the biggest dork I almost cried! :p

** La Oli aprendio a hacer crochet!!! Como es zurda y yo no, habiamos tratado antes pero nos habia costado a las 2, asi que esta vez aprendi con ella (que dificil tejer con la izquierda!), y el sabado de manana (aprendio el viernes) me levante y estaba ella muy adorada con el pijamita sentadita en el sillon, tejiendo una cadena kilometrica! Casi me pongo a llorar! :p

In between all this I did finish a new pattern/Igual a todo esto hice un patron nuevo:

"Casitas" (little houses)

 

My favorite casita is the tan one. If you want it (and I really wish I could make una casita for all of you) please write your e-mail address at the end of this post, and next wednesday (may 13) I'll do a random number generator thingie and send it to the winner :)
It comes with a kiss! ;)
*La que mas me gusta es la marroncita. Si la queres (y ojala pudiera hacer una casita para cada una) escribi tu e-mail al final de este post, y el proximo miercoles (13 de mayo) hago uno de estos random number things y se la mando al que gane :) -viene con beso! ;)


Oli took that picture for a little interview I did for yareah magazine. -it's a really nice on-line magazine, take a look!
Oh! & I'm getting my vip ;) copy of Amigurumi Two this week, and I can't wait to see it in person, I'll let you know how it looks! :)
THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!
Abrazo y beso,
ap
