Hi everyone, I'm new to the community. I've been crocheting for years and got really into amigurumi recently and have just begun selling them on etsy. Here's a few of my projects:

Thanks to those who gave advice about the Pac Man cake. I'm almost afraid to post it here, because it's definitely not up to the standards, but I figure some of you might enjoy it.

I thought people might enjoy seeing this video.

i have 6mm eyes i was trying to attach to an ami with a long pointy face...  and i can't get the plastic backs to go on them.  any suggestions?  i'm also wondering if the size and shape of the project is what's making it so difficult.  thanks.

EDIT: My name is Mary, btw

Hi! I just found WLA and I'm sooooooo happy I did! The stuff yall do is AMAZING!  Anyway, these are a few of the first Amigurumis I've made. Enjoy! Those are the first ones I've made. Here's a little elephant that wasn't included in the group shot.

Thumbprint Cookies



Cranberry Almond Cookies



These are some of the holiday cookies we made for our office friends. Not pictured but also included were two kinds of brownies, white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, and orange chocolate marzipan star-shaped cookies dipped in chocolate.

Cherry Almond Cookie recipe (obviously we swapped out cranberries for cherries); Thumbprint Cream Cheese Cookies recipe (swapped out orange peel and zest for the lemon).

This nut cracker has been around forever! You can see the rust on the handle! My dad always put this out at Christmas. Now, I do the same. It is funny how tastes take you back.

Its winter break and I decided to experiment in the kitchen. My brother and I made these sugar cookies a few days back. I also made okonomiyaki, a Japanese vegetable pancake. It was topped with okonomiyaki sauce, mayo and seaweed flakes.

I realized that I haven't posted any cakes since August, so I should show y'all what I've been up to since then. (Answer: not too much, actually.)

Thanks for looking at my cakes, everyone, and for all the good advice you give all year long!

Every now and then I get the urge to make something cute. These little snowpeople were the result of just such an urge :) They're golden oreo truffles, decorated up and served on a platter with coconut "snow."

Had some issues throughout the recipe, so it took forever to finish, but after I saw how adorable the first one was, I couldn't given up!! They were very tasty; my boyfriend's already clamoring for more.
