And We're Back

Hello and welcome back my lovely readers! It has been a while, hasn't it? I hope you all have a wonderful Holidays and New Years. I ended up ting some unplanned time off between finishing up Christmas presents and then just spending time with fiends, reorganizing some things in the house, and working on some less fun business stuff after the holidays. But are back now and I do hope to be updating for you more regularly this year. Today I just want to talk about some things I'm working on and get back in the swing of blogging.

I mentioned I was working on a bunch of christmas presents, sadly I don't have pictures of everything but I will show what I have.
My Grandmother-in-law absolutely loved the shawl I was working on for her. Seeing her face when she unwrapped it was absolutely the most magical moment of the holiday.

Most of the family got hats, a helmet style,super warm hat in his favorite football teams colors for my father in law, a monkey hat for my nephew and a bright green and black fox hat for my husbands uncle. His work requires him to wear neon colors so I had to make him a neon hat. I sadly did not manage to get a picture of all the boys in their hats yet. The I made a Green Lantern plushie for my husband (Who has hidden it so no pics of that either) I spent a lot of time looking at pictures of his favorite version of the character (Kyle) and making sure the uniform was just right, and it definitely payed of. Finally I made a Gir plushie (from Invader Zim) for my Sister-In-law, he was so cute I almost didn't let her have him.

 Then there were a few presents for friends, a fox plushie for one friend who is a huge fox friend, a Sam Hain plushie for his wife (which came out way more adorable than a horror icon has the right to!) and a pair of goblin for my buisness partner. I've given her a couple of my regular sized goblins before so I had to add to her army with a tiny goblin (not tiny enough, next time will use fingering weight) and the goblin king made from bulky weight.

It was a lot of fun working on presents and getting to make some things that I wouldn't normally be able to either due to obscurity or them just not selling well (like shawls, I love making them but they take forever) but it's good to be back to my normal fare. Back to pokemon and ponies and video game characters.

Sorry this post was a bit short, I will be back later this week with a more normal update. I hope you all have a great week and good luck starting those new years resolutions!
