Project Update 1-23

Hello and welcome back my lovely readers. I hope you had a wonderful week. I do apologize for the lack of other updates I promise I am working on some less egotistical posts. In the meantime, here's some stuff I worked on this week! I appreciate you wanting to take a look.

I finished up this little cutie that I started last week. I will be honest with you, I think this is the cutest thing I have ever made!  There was a ton of felting work to it with the eyes and headpiece (still not sure I got the eyes right) and I will definitely want to make the ears longer if I make another one.  I think it is very important in our art to not be afraid to change a pattern as we go and truly make it our own, a pattern should always be seen like a recipe; as a good start that you can perfect to your own liking.


On the topic of pokemon, after finishing up the Sylveon above, I started on a new one. The ancestor of all pokemon: Mew! This guy came together faster than I expected which is nice. The head was a pain in the ass to get on straight, I had undo and resew it four times which is a record for me. I think I should have angled it down a bit more but I'm generally happy. Not happy was the fact that I broke another felting needle while working on the eyes an now can't finsh them until our car is out of the shop and I can get to the store. But in the meantime, just eyes and tail to go and still little guy wil be done. Next I am back to the Eevees with the fire type, Flareon.

Then more ponies, always more ponies. Still working on Princess Luna, I finally finished her mane (much MUCH rejoicing) I'm not proud of it but I don't think it looks terrible. Not to get the rest of the head pieces sewn on, finish the shoes, and get on the wings. I really enjoy making these wings so it's like my reward for finishing the plushie. I will just be glad to finally have her finished. Then just working on another little pony, trying to up my stock a bit honestly I figure y'all are bored with seeing the same half finished ponies over and over so I will spare you, it's just a hairless white pony.

Speaking of trying to up my stock, I've been working on more Cthulhus. I was just randomly playing around with some of my Deborah Norville's Everyday striped yarn the other day and I absolutey love how they stripe up with this pattern. I have a lot of this yarn to use up so I am thrilled to have found a project it goes perfectly with. I look forward to being able to put out a whole rainbow of these little guys at my next show.

if you're curious, It's sitting on the game map for Sentinels of the Multiverse

Trying to find some more little quick projects like my octopi and cthulhus I came across this little kitten pattern. It is a bit more sewing required than I want for the kind of thing but It's so dang cute I might keep making them anyway. Not much to say, just a cute tiny kitten amigurumi.



Finally I finished up the hat I was working on last week. If you missed it, this is based off a character from a webcomic called Homestuck. The character is the troll Sollux Captor known for wearing red/blue glasses so it just made sense for me to do the braids one in red/black and one in blue/black.  haven't done braided tassel hats before and I'm pretty happy with how it came out, way less work than the I-cord I've made in the past. I plan to start posting the patterns for these guys in the future but I want to perfect the horn patterns a little more first but please let me know if you are interested and I will speed up that process.

And that's it for this week. As you can see I'm really trying to work on more little projects as well as finishing up some old larger ones. It's definitely a nice feeling completing so many things, though my house is quickly being taken over by them! Join me again next week, I'll try and have a Monday/Tuesday post up (Its mostly written) but don't want to make promises. Have a great weekend and goo luck with your projects!
