This is Carl, the one eyed,minion as an Office Worker. Minions are known to be very hardworking creatures which is an irony to this cross stitch pattern.In Despicable Me 2 he was famous for his quote "Bee-Do, Bee-Do Bee-Do".He appeared as the fire siren that says "Bee do bee do" with Josh and Jorge dressed as firemen extinguishing the fire when Gru's office catches on fire.

Are you a Flappy Bird fan? How much do you hate this game? Well if you ask me, I really do hate this game. It's the hardest game I've ever played. I never played Mario before and I really suck at playing platform games. RPG and action/adventure games are my kind of thing. Final Fantasy series, Harvest Moon, Grandia, Atellier Totori, Ni No Kuni, God of War and Uncharted series. Those are the games that I played before. I actually miss them just recalling it now.

Back to Flappy Bird. I really felt uneasy not to be able to reach even 5 points. That frustration lead me to the conclusion that I better crochet a Flappy Bird instead of playing the game:)

It actually worked! It turned out so cute and I actually felt good about it. I don't hate him anymore. In fact I am loving him that much. Who would never love those red pouty lips right?lol.

Crochet a Flappy Bird for your friends. I'm sure they will love it too. Even though Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen pulled the game from the app stores, Flappy Bird will always remain in our hearts ♥♥♥
