Welcome to our shop - Bubbles and Bongo!

Who are we?
We are a mother and daughter team who share a common love for crochet. Before we became official crochet addicts (and we mean addicts) we were certified golf nuts.

Why is it important we tell you this you might ask?…
Well that’s how we discovered the world of crochet amigurumi. One of our playing partners turned up at golf and proudly showed us her crocodile amigurumi headcover. We quickly informed her that it was in fact a giraffe. This point aside, we were inspired to do a quick search on the internet for how the giraffe was created and thanks to the wonders of YouTube and Google we soon learned the intricacies of making stuffed toys with crochet stitches.

How did we embark on setting up our Etsy shop?
We love putting ideas into stitches and with that comes a serious yarn budget(!). To fund our buying habits and also to look for new homes for our creations, we decided to set up our own Etsy shop. In so doing, we hope that you will be interested in adopting our amigurumi toys and love them as we loved making them. We also have patterns of our creations for those who want to have a go at making them yourself and perhaps add your own creative touch.

Why the name?
Mum came up with the idea of Bubbles & Bongo as they were childhood nicknames she gave to my sister and I. Bubbles was a monkey and Bongo a bear she saw when visiting the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia. Apparently, I have a gait similar to Bongo (at least that's what she thinks!!!).

In conclusion…
We take great pride in what we crochet and hopefully you can see that in all our amigurumi toys we make.
