Two years ago on this day, I wrote my very first blog post!  I still remember how excited I was to finally start a blog and share my brand new hobby with the world 🙂  I never in my wildest dreams imagined how far we would come in this amigurumi-making and blogging journey!  We feel so blessed and thankful to God that we can share our passion and creativity with you all through “All About Ami”.  Thank you to all our readers who have been with us since the very beginning and to those who have recently found out about our work, in large part due to Pinterest, Craftgawker and Ravelry!  It is always such a joy reading your thoughtful, encouraging comments and even getting ideas of what to do on our travels (e.g. Paris & Tokyo)!

I spent the vast majority of this past year pregnant, so my crochet blog took somewhat of a turn with many baby-related projects!  “All About Ami” has been such a wonderful way for us to chronicle where we are on our life journey, from being a newly married couple, to expecting a baby, and now as new parents!  Thanks for coming along this journey with us and uplifting us in your prayers, thoughts and messages!  God has blessed us with such a precious gift in baby Myla this past year and we are so thankful to be given the opportunity to be parents.  She is growing up so quickly before our eyes as she is almost 3 months old!!!

253 posts, 3700 Facebook fans, 599 Twitter followers, 633 Instagram followers and 5649 Tumblr followers later, here we are.  I’ve blogged about 15 original amigurumi designs and on my Facebook page I asked which ones you thought were my most popular!  Many of you guessed correctly: the ones pictured above are my most popular amigurumi, namely Dragon, the Spring Bunnies & the Teddy Ornaments!  Which one of our designs is your favourite?  Surprisingly, our most popular blog post is not an amigurumi!  Can anyone guess which crochet project garnered the most views? 

Thanks again for all your support, and we pray that “All About Ami” will continue to inspire you to take up a new hobby, try out new projects and go beyond what you think you can do!  Let’s continue to use our God-given talents and passions to love and connect with others!  We hope that we can continue to bring smiles to your faces and help bring some positivity and love into your lives, especially on those days when you need it most!  God bless 🙂
