Welcome

Amigurumi is my love at first sight. The first time I saw it, I know I'm in love with it. Since then I have been making loads of them. I started to make them out of love and passion and then, came some who really see the beauty of it offers them a new home and I let them go to the good hands.

And now, if you ask me, yes I will answer that I do sell my amigurumis and toys. I am offering every single one that I made for a small fee (except some I might note as not for sale) because I have to buy the yarn indeed. I don't produce them in mass because I believe every single of them has their own character and personality and most of all, they are made with love... and passion. But, I do take customised order should you need them for special occasion because that is what they are meant for.

So, feel free to contact me through email (seridewi@live.com.my) or at facebook page : SERI HANDMADE should you have anything regarding to my work. I am more than happy to serve you for that. But please, serious buyer only and I am focusing on keepsake amigurumi and bears and also baby jackets/item.
Announcing here that I have already started a new blog - Serishoppe for supplies and my handmade items.

Thank you

What I Did Last Friday

During dull Friday afternoon lunch break (used to move around Jln TAR before but here now.. nowhere to go .. haha) I did this! yay! I'm knitting. lalalalala. I know Kema will be very jealous with the gifted talent God gave me. Thank you God. Actually I've been longing to learn to knit. Bought the needles very long time ago. but don't have the opportunity to learn from a real teacher.

I learned how to cast on, knit stitch, purl stitch and cast off through the net from this site : http://www.theknittingsite.com/. A good site indeed. The videos are clear and the instructions are easy to follow. *wink*

so now, lihatlah donia! I can knit! lalalalala

Thank you Johanna for letting me test this pattern. I'm so honoured to have done it for you. Feel free to ask me test any patterns in future eh? ekekekekke

The Flowers

Meet flower girls - Daisy and Rose from the garden. Rose is going to fly to down under and maybe Daisy is going somewhere too. I don't make a decision yet. There is Sunflower but she's not in view yet. Still considering of making her and fly her somewhere.
