You've seen this marvellous frog bracelet before but I just had to 
bring it back for our pond ami-along. It's so totally adorable!

A reminder -
the monthly ami along themes are just for fun and inspiration. No obligation to make something in the theme. And please feel free to post ami's made for previous themes (or with no ami-along theme in mind) at any time. :o)

It's also the Spring season (Yay!) and with Easter coming soon, many of us are happily busy making Easter ami's!  What could be cuter than a baby bunny or chick? 
An amigurumi bunny or chick of course!  ;o)

And who doesn't love coloring Easter eggs?  Especially amigurumi eggs!  These eggs last forever!
