Amigurumis Have Arrived!

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.

These adorable little creatures are great gifts for kids and adults alike! Use them as party favors, or baby shower decorations!

Currently I have penguins, frogs, owlets, bunnies, cats, elephants, and polar bears. I'm always taking special requests! Email me at briannesbasics@ymail.com for more information!

Ryan is Coasting For Kids again! July 24!

My amazing husband Ryan has decided to once again participate in Coasting For Kids!

Last year's event was a blast. Ryan started at 730am and rode Jaguar until 5pm, over 100 rides with only a lunch break and a few rest stops. The entire group raised over $800.

And he's at it again! He decided to do, since he had such a great time and it was for such a great cause, Give Kids The World Village.

You can see pictures and video at http://misadventuresofamommy.com/2010/07/31/ryan-vs-jaguar-give-kids-the-world-wins/

Soon we'll be doing fundraisers to earn even more money this year. Stay tuned for those announcements!
