Something handy! These Mehndi cookies fascinate me. I went through a stage in college where I loved having my hands painted with henna and these cookies take me right back. They make me want to put on a sari and host a Bollywood party!
Have you guys seen this?
Gumball lives on! Gumball is still taking over the world! You don’t know how happy this makes me. Or maybe you do. These are not my pictures or my handiwork. The best EVER Gumball award goes to Falwyn. I love her!

Who is Gumball? Could you tell the story of Gumball to those who may have missed it first time around?
SAJ says: the whole story is here. I’ll add this to my post too.

oh my goodness, so cute! I love your artwork by the way! I’d love to eventually buy one of your pink doggies for my daughters room. (We’re kind of on a crazy tight saving money budget until after Christmas, which prevents me from making any purchases in the area of pink dogs for walls. argh!)
Happy weekend!

As I said in my comment on Flickr: Holy crow, that is possibly the cutest Gumball EVER! And it’s crocheted!!! Awesome. :-)

I need to get in on this Gumball action, me thinks. :)

Thank you for putting the link up regarding Gumball’s creation, I missed it somehow last January. I think Gumball is awesome and if she (I presume it’s a she?) ever want’s to star in a-just-for-fun web animation give me a shout.
Morris folk dancers are jigging outside my window as I type. Bells, sticks and accordian player all happily, clippity clopping about . No I don’t live in a country village, but a residential street in North London ????

Oh my goodness! Gumball is too cute as a crochet kitten! I can’t wait to get the sweat shirts of Gumball for my girls! They just love her too! SAJ, you are so generous and kind to share your creation with us! I’m excited to “work” with Gumball and Blueberry here at home too!

How cute is Gumball?? I actually have some gumball stuff on my work table waiting for me to get some time to finish it. I still so love Gumball.

Wow! How neatio is that?! She’s even cuter in real life! hehehe

Is Gumball really crocheted? I thought it was bathrobe fabric. Would love to know. Way to keep a subject going for almost a year.

Oh, I LOVE this Gumball! I want one!

Gumball is the cutest!!

Oh SAJ, thanks so much. I am honored and totally thrilled. :) Tickled pink, you might even say. *ducks for cover against thrown objects*
@bluejaye: yes, it’s really crochet (though now that you mention it, I have a bathrobe just the right color…..) :) It’s done in a somewhat odd and VERY difficult yarn called Polarspun (from Lion Brand) which is now discontinued, though I think Bernat makes a similar one. It sticks to itself and really becomes matted: I think you could practically cut it and use it as cloth. I’m writing out the pattern for this Gumball (and making some other test ones) and will soon be posting it on my blog for those who are interested.

SAJ says: Heh heh. You’ll have to ask Falwyn.

I just learned about Gumball!
So … I’m late to the game, but, I will be incorporating a small Gumball or two into my Halloween costume!
