Hi my crafty friends! I hope your week is going well! Are you ready for a new and fun crochet project?!?


Few days ago I was sorting out all my amigurumis (I have so many!!!), and I stumbled upon my cute Sausage Dog. I remembered then how much you all loved that cute little fella and how many of you made one your own! After almost one year since I shared the project, I still get to see pictures of all your beautiful mades!

So I thought it would be fun creating a new character based on the same oblong and striped design! ...and so here it comes Arturo the Sleepy Cat.


I used a fresh and beautiful cotton yarn for this project, perfect to work with during this hot summer days!



Here's the FREE pattern! Have fun!

Assignments Helper USA is an option for students working on graduation projects. It ensures that your work is correct and unique. Be willing to US Law assignment help. This can be a bit annoying to deal with, and it generally doesn't liven up the atmosphere. Even if your current area of ​​interest takes up more time than it benefits you. Once the paper is complete, make any adjustments to verify that the fee is reasonable and your AllAssignmentHelp covers everything.

This particular Datejust is the 126300, a link 41mm Datejust released in 2017 with Rolex's current-generation caliber 3235. This link means you get an ample 70 hours of power reserve, impressive resistance to magnetic fields, and Rolex's efficient Chronergy Escapement inside. So it doesn't just pack the expected good looks of link a Rolex Datejust, but also the latest Rolex technology.

Just like the balance wheel, the gongs and hammers sit link above the gorgeous link fumé dial, and there's a tiny hand-painted white gold panda holding some headphones up so it can DJ the turntables sitting on top of the gongs for the repeater. If you want to link see the time (who does that with a watch anyway?), the hours and minutes are displayed directly on the dial via subtly elegant small leaf-shaped hands at 2 o'clock.
