Ana Paula Rimoli Interview
I have mentioned before that I am a huge fan of amigurumi. Once I discovered my love for crochet, it was all over. I really wish I had more time for it these days. I am so glad people like Ana exist. She was a wonderful person to work with for the Plush You book, she has always been very generous and most importantly, her creations are adorable. Any age would love a treat from Ana OR from you as you can make your own. You can get her patterns on her Etsy shop or purchase her new book, Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet. The title sums it up. You can also leave a comment here (with your email or way to contact you) and possibly win your very own signed copy directly from the creator herself!
S- When did you begin making amigurumi toys?
AP- I started making lots of them when I was pregnant with Oli (5), but I had made some (without knowing they were "amigurumi") when I was little (I started crocheting when I was 6 or 7)
S- Were you a huge hit on etsy right away? How did you try to increase your etsy business?
AP- At the time I was working full time in an office type place, and wasn't taking Etsy that seriously. Once Martina was born (she'll be 2 in September!) and I was in maternity leave I started making a lot more toys & patterns and posting a lot more and finally realized that I could Etsy full time, and I quit! :) I've never done too much advertising, but I did join Flickr right away and started posting in different amigurumi/craft related groups. I think that's helped a lot!

It's almost Easter
In a few weeks we will be interviewing Ana Paula Rimoli about her work and her recent new book which she will be giving away to one lucky winner here. In the meantime, I love her Easter inspired plushies.

Ana Paula Rimoli
I just noticed that Ana Paula Rimoli has recently come out with Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet. Her stuff is seriously cute too. I have gotten several patterns from her etsy shop and she has a pattern in the Plush You! book. I'll have to get my hands on this one. It looks awesome.
