Crochet Cupcakes for Olly?
This is the last installment of my handmade gifts for my trip back to Singapore. This time it isn’t for my grandma but for a dear friend’s daughter and sibling. I say sibling because Teresa is pregnant and keeping the sex of the baby a secret. So I crocheted a couple of cupcakes, one with pink frosting and the other with yellow frosting. It’s the brightest yellow yarn I’ve ever used. It’s so bright and cheerful! (Teresa, don’t tell Georgia she’s getting this ok? 
)
Patterns: Ana Paula’s Amigurumi Cupcake and Roxycraft “Cherry Pickers”
Yarn: 8ply acrylic from stash
Hook: 3.75mm or size F
This sweet cupcake story could simply end here if it wasn’t for Olly. With all the craziness of packing and getting the house ready for our trip overseas, Olly decided to be difficult and showed that he wasn’t too happy with us leaving. Olly had kidnapped the cupcakes when I wasn’t looking!
I found him on the bed with the cupcakes held close to his chest. I must say it’s not a very clever hiding spot but we should give him a break. He is just a cat after all. So he looked at me defiantly. There was a stand off. The room fell silent as our eyes met.
“Olly…” I said sternly. “They’re not yours. You can’t have the cupcakes. I’ll crochet you your own cupcakes when I get home ok?”
He stared back at me. “NO! You can’t take them away from me. So neeehhh!” he said childishly, sticking his tongue out at me.
This is a 7.5kg cat. You do not want to mess with him when he’s cranky. I coaxed him and pleaded. Have you tried reasoning with a temperamental redhead? It’s like talking to a brick wall!
It went on for a while and I sounded pretty much like this, “Come on Olly. Be a nice boy. Let mummy have the cupcakes…”
I could see him wavering. He was just not happy that we were leaving. And suddenly… Olly started wailing!
“Waaahhhh! Why do you have to go! Take me with you!” Olly screamed.
It got pretty ugly after that but he soon calmed down when I told him that Nanna, Auntie Emma and little Jackson will come over everyday and keep him company. He sniffled a little more but he let me pack the crochet cupcakes. 
Ahhh…
By the time you read this, I’m already in Singapore. The beauty of being able to schedule blog posts in WordPress. (thumbs up) So I’ll be away all of next week. Have a good Easter weekend. We’ll catch up soon. Take care!
