I'm Alive!

Oooh baby, it sure has been a while hasn't it. About 6 months. My goodness, what happened...?

It's probably because I'm not a very good writer, eheh. But at least I've been making things, so I haven't given up crafting! I got some pretty pastel yarn, learned how to make puffstitch flowers AND doing resin things.
Resin has completely taken over my life. I don't crochet as often (i still do though), but I guess I'm in a bit of a resin craze...

Keep reading if you want to see more, because I've got A LOT to show!

Monster Hat Emporium Review

I'm trying to be more involved in the Artist Alley community, getting and giving feedback, things like that. As I became a regular, something really caught my attention. Terrifying monsters. As scarves. Hairy, fangy, and with a bunch of eyes. Monster Hat Emporium is a creator of creatures both cute and creepy. While her bug-monster scarves weird me out (their faces are too spider like for me), the rest of Grue's stuff was just the right amount of spooky for me! I asked if she'd want to do a swap and after a few weeks of me being forgetful, finally got things rolling.

Ice Cream

Ice cream, because it's a hot summer. The original ice cream bunny I made was pretty well received so I made a panda fairly recently. Animal ice cream is a million times easier than making a full plush, so why not make more? I went into my stash and found a cute pastel yarn and got to work!

MokoMoko Animals

I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier on the weekend it came out. Highly recommend. Before the movie, my friends and I shopped around the area. I don't live anywhere near where we saw it, so it was a bit more exciting and interesting for me. On impulse I bought more fluffy yarn, something I have a love/hate relationship with. It's cute, it's soft, but damn is it hard to see stitches when working with it. This is a little different since it's not fluffy all around but closer to eye-lash type yarn. I got it in 2 colors, white and pink.

Bunny Ice Cream

Bear bonbons, bunny dango, other cute animal styled desserts are thing, right? Especially in the clay sculpting crowd and acrylic charm makers. Bear cupcakes are easy enough, dango is a bit more iffy when it comes to the try colored skewered type. And a drawing of bunnies stacked on top of each other to make a sundae might not translate as nicely. Bunny head styled ice cream is a bit more manageable.

Mushroom Necklace

I wanted to title this post "The Mushroom of course!" but I've already used it for another mushroom related post...
Originally this was going to be part of the June Giveaway in the classic prize pack as a phone strap. I clearly decided against it, as it looked much too white and too plain, and I was already using enough of the white crochet thread in each prize pack. It could probably stand alone as a random amigurumi in a bunch, as decoration, or even a pincushion. You can make anything into a pincushion. But I'd probably lose it if I left it alone, it's too big to be a on a bracelet, and it would be a waste to make it a pin. All that's left is a necklace.

Anime Conji

First, sorry for the low quality picture! I forgot my camera on day 1, so the photo above and below were taken with my 3DS.

AC Prep: Bows 3

More yarn = more bows. I feel like a lot of these prep posts will mostly be picture posts...unless I make new things.

AC Prep: Round Flower Pins

I bought more yarn. Yay! More white! Along with some black safety eyes - 9mm & 6mm, jump rings, new crochet hooks in varying sizes, and a tiny round of ric-rac and ribbon [it was a dollar and i liked the colors]. I am so excited to have yarn to work with again~ Because I gotta say, I was feeling kind of bored without crocheting all the time. It was a little sad not having much to keep me busy right before classes started again...

I'd post a photo of my yarn, but I ended up buying colors I'd had before, save for a new shade of red. Oh well, they're good colors!

New white yarn, blue ric-rac flower-thing, and a green bow~ Not sure how I feel about having the white lace bow though, but something needed to fill the space. I might replace it with a yarn one instead.

First Listing!

Frosted Bottle!

Made the first listening for ChasingTheFrill. Woohoo!

Soon to be Listed

First of the fun word is a bottle filled with different plants, mostly baby's breath and the petals of some other flower I picked around the neighborhood. "Nonsensical" is actually my personal favorite word, so I had to use it somehow in a bottle! Better photos of course will be taken for the actual listing. It's not that dark in the bottle, that's just how my camera's flash treated it.

Frosted bottle thing. More baby's breath, this time meant to look like it was in a frozen/freezing bottle.

Both bottles are still in limbo as to whether they'll be sold as phone charms or necklaces...
