Amigurumi!

Amigurumis are maybe my favorite thing to crochet. For a past christmas I had made one for each one on my family, they turned out to be really nice and they liked them a lot. Also some of my friends have asked me to make one for them... I've been surfing the web for different patterns all over the place.

 This are the ones I've made for my family:


My pictures are not as nice a they could be, I take them with my phone camera, looking for the best spot in regards of light in my house. My brother had told me I should have a light box to get better pictures, I didnt even know what a light box was, but now I know and I will build one. I'm trying to make it some way that I can make it smaller and put it away until I need it again, having two babies, the spaces in the upper parts of the house are already crowded... Regarding the camera quality... theres nothing I can do for now.

As I havent build the light box yet but I was burning to share a new pattern I decided to share my polar bear, as the picture is not that bad...
