Be prepared for too much cute! Lifestyle 11 July 2012 by Sophia Hélène Price I am absolutely useless when it comes to online shopping. It's partly due to the fact that I like to see what I'm buying before parting with my hard-earned money but it's mainly because of my lack of patience. When I shop, it's very much a case of 'must.have.now' and so, for me, the 3-5 business days thing just isn't working out. I decided to turn my back on e-commerce and continue with good old fashioned shopping. READ: LOOK! MINI DOLL'S HOUSE JEWELLERY Having said that, this was a decision I made before discovering the adorable mini critters of the Knitting Dreams boutique on Etsy . These I could wait all month to receive... they are just so cute! Aintzi is the artist behind Knitting Dreams and has been creating the little bears for years. On her profile she explains that she uses a combination of craft techniques such as needle felting and crochet. Her main inspiration comes from Japanese crocheting style amigurumi – ami is the Japanese word meaning crochected or knitted and nuigurumi stands for stuffed doll. SEE: CRAZY SHOE ALERT! GUESS THE CELEB FOOTWEAR! I absolutely fell in love with every single one of these little characters the moment I spotted them with their oversized heads and miniature bodies, plus it's always great to have unique pieces and each of these little creatures is made to order so although you may have to wait out those business days, I think you'll agree it's worth being patient! The bears are made with yarn or mohair and priced at around £20 (you'll also have to add postage costs) and you can order your new friend on the Knitting Dreams Etsy Boutique or check out Aintzi's Flickr profile for more to-die-for photos. 'All of my little creatures are made with love and care in a non-smoking home.' – Aintzi, Knitting Dreams. READ CELEBRITY HAIR BUZZ: BOHEMIAN BRAIDS AND BUNS
