Projects Update 9/26

Hello my lovely readers, it is that time again. I get to show you all the pretties I have been working on this week. It has been another low sewing week but I have tried to get more done as I went along. Having pieces actually sewn on does make me feel a lot more accomplished. It's strange but in my head I tend to think of the sewing as being just as much effort as the piece I am crocheting, which is never the case.So I have felt like I got more done every day s week instead of a lot at once on Thursday night. So here is what I have been working on.

After seeing the big Glaceon last week, the friend of mine who has been buying my pokemon wanted one the same size as his other ones so hopefully this one will be done for my husband to take to him on Thursday. Really it is just sewing and finishing the face pieces at this point.

Then I stared making these adorable little guys. A friend picked up one that looked like this a few years ago so I've been using that as inspiration. I've just been figuring out the patterns for the ears, tails etc. as I go along, but they are pretty simple, just little spheres, cones, etc. but it's a lot of fun and they make up pretty quickly. So far I have an Espeon, Umbreon, Flareon, and am starting on a Glaceon (so I can get pics of all three sizes in the same design before sending out the midsize one from the above pic) I'm still working on getting the heads on just right but I think they are really adorable. I am thinking of making ponies the same size when I finish the set.

I swear it's just the shadows making umbreon look like he wants to eat your soul

I'm back to making hats just to use up some yarn and so I can have a good variety for the holiday fairs I'll be working in November. I only have pics of the one but I have a blue and black one in the works...somewhere. I'll find it by next week. Then I'm making a yellow and black one. Still not sure whether I should put antenna on it and make it a bee hat or my usual ears. People really seem to like the bee hats but they are a pain to make.

As usual, I'm working on ponies, trying to finish having a set of the smaller ones on hand before getting back to the bulky yarn ones so I've got an almost finished pinkie pie, next I need to work on a Rainbow Dash. Right now I'm also working on finally finish my personal pony. I never make things for myself so she has been taking a long time to finish, I'm mostly just trying to get her finished to clear out space on my desk. She will be my little mascot to take with me and show that I will make people's own custom ponies.

Yes I know how weird the pony heads look before they get ears and hair!

And finally another update on Cadence, it is ridiculous that I have not finished yet. Just need to finish putting on the shoes and making the wings right now. So close but it will probably be another week anyway. I took a break from working on the wings to do a lot of the sewing and I am not looking forward to getting back to them. It's not that they are hard just annoying because they need something in each piece to support it, wire for the feathers and mesh or cardboard for the main piece. I'm not a general crafter so I don't enjoy doing that kind of thing. I'm just looking forward to having her finished and being able to start on the next one!

oh yeah and eyes, pony desperately needs eyes!

Well that's it for this week. I really appreciate the ammount of traffic I got for my first review! You are all wonderful. I have another one I am working on for a week from Monday. This Monday I will finally be talking a bit about felting, so please join me then!
