Granny Collar

I'm sorry it's been so long since I last posted! I think I've made a few collars since the last post, but nothing post-worthy? I don't know. I started making an Animal Crossing Marshal amigurumi, but who knows when that will get done. Instead, I made a collar the other night and used up a lot of my white yarn! There's not even enough for a kodama anymore. Oops.

Kodama Mini!

Ariane of The Fashionable Cupcake had mentioned to me before that she eventually wanted to commission a Kodama from me. Last Friday night, it was brought up again (since I totally forgot about it) and that she was interested in a smaller keychain/phone strap version. Now, I don't think we ever actually set things in stone like if she was actually commissioning me right then and there, but I wanted to do it anyway!

I don't work in small scale very often since it's usually a little difficult working with things being well, small. It still took me about the same amount of time to make as a regular sized Kodama though, so that wasn't too bad. Ended up gluing the eyes on, because no way was I sewing on those tiny pieces of felt! If I had a felting needle, I would've stabbed them in. 

Size comparison! With a little box of Japanese gum, haha.

Strawberry Bows Revisited

Revisiting an old idea of bows with strawberries and flowers! I thought for sure I'd had posts up before besides this one that feature this idea, but I guess not. I just feel like I've made this style of bow a lot of times, although I think in reality I've maybe only done it 3 or 4 other times? That still sounds like a lot... The dark red and brown bow is certainly not something new or original, but I do love those colors together...

Doughnut Day

Apparently it's National Doughnut Day? Good thing I made some doughnuts last night. To get the summer rollin' I thought I could try crocheting something new. Doughnuts just seemed like a good idea, probably because I wanted to eat some.

Pokebows

I recently beat Trauma Center: Under the Knife. I bought Trauma Center: Second Opinion, the sequel, at a pretty decent price and thought to actually finish the first game before playing the second. However, instead of starting on Trauma Center, at the suggestion of my boyfriend, I picked up on playing Pokemon Pearl. It's my second play through, as I guess I was stuck or lost at what to do after not playing for a really long time when I restarted. Instead of restarting again since I hadn't played in a while, it was easy to pick up where I left off. I got my 8th badge and now I'm at the Pokemon League. I think the first time I got bored and annoyed with Victory Road and never got this far. This time though, I'm ready to beat the champion!

With Pokemon keeping me entertained, I wanted to finally make something for it. I'd had the idea in my head for a while, and while it's not a new thing I finally got around to doing it.

Monkey Blues

I've been holding onto this post since January. It's been in a nearly finished state since then and I finally finished it this past Friday. Quite pathetic really, since it's been practically finished, all I had to do was attach the face parts. I was just too lazy and unmotivated to actually stitch them on that I finally caved and glued it. Bah, it looks fine, right?!

krkr

Sorry for the lack of posts! I haven't really been crafting much. I always just want to take a nap after I get home from school, so I don't have much motivation to make things. Anyway, I drew this a few weeks back for someone, it's krkr from gdgd fairies. trying to use watercolors more often.
