Amigurumi for Stella

SQUEEEE!!!  Isn't this the cutest amigurumi doll you've ever seen me make?  Yuppers!! cause it is the only amigurumi doll I've ever made!!  I got the pattern from Jenny & Teddy Creations.  There are several free patterns on that site - plus many others for sale in their etsy shop.
What is amigurumi you (my mom) might ask?   Basically it is a fancy Japanese word for crocheted little doll.  So here's the choice - Crochet (fancy French word but only two syllables) or Amigurumi (fancy Japanese word with 5 syllables) - I'm definitely going for the word that makes me sound more awesome!!
This girly is for my 3-year old niece Stella who has curly blonde hair - so, so cute!!  I made the barrettes out of tiny clothespins with a muse|studio flower ribbon glued on.  The purse can actually hold stuff - maybe I should put some coins in it.  Someone should have $$ in their purse since mine is usually empty after being raided by the males in my family!
Edited to add:  I've made another amigurumi for my other Washingtonian niece - Check out Amigurumi for Violet.
