Lisa's Minako

Lisa ( Iesadora ) Won my Minako pattern a while back, and a few days ago she sent me pictures of her finished bunny! Here they are!!

                                                Isn't it just a cutie!!?? I love the bow-tie! >v<

                                                     Thanks for sharing your pics Lisa!! :D


                       I made some plushies too! Some cute lil teddies!  Classy Teddy and Lemon Pie teddy!

I made some more custom ninjas too, but I don't have pics of those(besides, ninjas are getting a little boring aren't they?)

                                                                  Until next time then!!

Hanging With The Horses

Hi all! I haven't posted in soooo looooong. Sorry! I've just gotten a bit off track! I have a different sort a post today! A few days ago, my cousin came over to my house to hang out. My cousin, Little brother, and I went walking down the little country road that leads to the gas-station(we were going to buy soda and snacks)When we came across a pasture with three horses in it. I've walked past that field a hundred times, but I never really stopped to look at the horses. They walked right up to the fence and stared at us. We were transfixed, they were so pretty! The friendliest was a dark brown horse with completely black eyes. It (I don't know if it was a he or she) ate right out of our hands.

                                                               I got lots of pictures!

                                                                     Isn't it pretty!? :)

              Their was also this lovely horsy, with the bright blue eyes! They were so pretty.

                                         Maybe it's blind??? I know nothing about horses XD

                             I also took pictures of my peeps posing on the cutest tiny bridge.

 My cousin ended up staying the night, and we had a great time drinking sonic shakes, making up stories, and playing games on my tablet! My cousin also watched Sweeney Todd for the first time, which was ultra fun! It was a great night! :)


Alrighty! Here are the little ninjas I made for my lil cousins b-days on the $th of July (Yeah, I haven't blogged in a while LOL) I've been commissioned by another little friend to make some ninjas, so I've got my hands full!

                                          I've also been drawing a lot lately ^_^ I've been busy!!

I drew this one for a contest!

 I hope to blog more soon. I've been working on some cute new plushies, and can't wait to show them off! :D                                                                        Until then!

                           

New Cattitude Kitty!

 I have a new cattitude kitty out (hence the title)! Her name is Naughty Little Child, and she has some CRAZY hair!!  I liked making her mouth, pretty much anything with really large, pointy, fangs is cool.

I tried twice, but I just couldn't sew her an outfit...so she ended up having a t-shirt needle felted into her (boy that's gotta hurt) and a heart applique added afterwards.

I also made this giant owl baby. I haven't really had much time for my normal projects, because I  worked like crazy getting birthday presents finished by the 4th(my lil twin cousin's b-day). I'll show you those in a different post. Speaking of the fourth, we didn't get to see fireworks this year, because of a burn ban. Luckily, yesterday we got some much needed rain. I still feel like I missed out though. :( How was YOUR Independence Day? Did you get to see fireworks?

Experimenting With Jointing

I love making dolls, but my biggest problem is that the legs are always really stiff, and I can't get the doll to sit down! Well, that problem is no more! I found a blog with a tutorial on how to thread joint legs, and it worked! You can find a link to that blog HERE. Another thing I wanted to try was jointing heads. I've used safety eyes to joint ami heads before, but that always seemed a little flimsy to me, and I had to make the hole in the neck really small. I found an easier way to do it! There is another helpful tutorial, HERE! Honestly I don't know what I would do without the internet....
Anyway! I made a doll with jointed legs and head! Her name is Sasha and I absolutely LOVE her!!

I'm getting better at styling doll hair too! I just used plain black yarn for Sasha's hair, hooking it into the scalp every two rows until I reached the crown, then hooking in long bangs, and cutting them to the desired length.

I made a few other toys with jointed necks as well, Beep the robot kitty, and Nicolo the bear.



Nicolo is sort of like Pirate Bears stalker (LOL) I figured since he was an angry looking bear he should join the crew of the Sunshiney (Pirate Bear's ship, if you don't remember) He's a stow-away!
I want to make a newer, cooler version of pirate bear, maybe I will change his color scheme to something more masculine....I could also make him a hat, now that I know how to do it!

 Beep is a robot kitty, I've had these buttons for quite a while, and they make perfect robot eyes! The Caron simply soft looked really shiny too, kind of like metal.

I also figured I should try and make something else with my abundance of felt, so I drew out a cheezy little 2D sewing pattern on some graph paper. I love the way plush food looks (so cute!!) so I drew an ice cream cone and a cupcake, and cut them out.

I wasn't entirely sure these were good enough, but I used the cupcake template, and cut out some felt. Here's what I made!

 I love him, and now I can make as many cupcakes as I want!! The ice cream should be next.


Oh yeah, I drew on the graph paper too...I have lots of sketchbooks, but I hate ruining the completely white pages by DRAWING on them(ironic I know)! Aaaaanyways, I keep saying I will post up more of my pictures, and I never do....So here is something I sketched onto said graph paper.

         This guy keeps popping up all over my sketch books...He's kinda creepy looking, but I like him.I haven't thought of his story yet though....

                          I'm starting to ramble, so I will take my leave. Until next time! *waves*

Bearling Keychain!

So my mom bought this HUGE bag of felt, and when I say huge I mean it. There is probably more than 100 sheets in every color imaginable!! Some of it is even glittery(not that I'm into glitter), and most of it is REALLY soft (the expensive stuff!)

and this isn't even all of it!!

 I am going to have to seriously polish my sewing skills and make some cute felt plushies!! For starters I made a sweet little bearling keychain! (can you tell how much I LOVE the bearlings?)

 I want to make more in lots of different colors!Who knows if that will ever get done, but I certainly have the resources!

I also made this sweet crocheted kitty! I used the same baby yarn I used on Minako, and I still have way to much of it left!

 Her name is Sherbet! XD I'm trying to get on the ball, I've only been making about two projects a week, which isn't meeting my crochet quota....I have to get motivated and work harder! (man this is gonna be hard when I get a job...)
Anyhoo, I have a purple blob waiting in the project bag for some eyes (plastic or buttons, felt or cloth???)
I thiiink it's going to be a teddy.....but that is for the future to decide!! Well, until next time!!!
