Haven’t been sewing too much lately, just working on a lot of art ^^

I wanted to make some friendship bracelets, after seeing them on the Purl Soho blog. I ordered some Kona thread from them and made this one ^^ It’s a reverse chevron. It wasn’t easy for me to make at first but I tried for 2 weeks before getting it xD I learned from watching Youtube videos. I really want to crochet amigurumi next!

Here are some new keycharms~ They are all from Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Well, the sewing machine is getting a bit of a break as I try to tackle some new non-sewing projects :) New keycharms are in the works and I’m awaiting materials to start new things. I might try to sculpt something this year! Let’s see how that turns out lol

Yesterday during the exciting Puppy Bowl XIII (that I watched 3 times out of it’s several airings, back to back) my kiddo and I made some perler bead crafts. She played ice cream shop with it (?), while I created some Adventure Time portraits. I didn’t have a pattern design, I just kind of winged it.

Top Row: Finn the human, Jake the dog
Bottom Row: Fiona the human, Cake the cat
I’m not sure what most people do what perler (hama? nabbi?) art after creating it. Do they sell it? Give it away as gifts?

Around New Years, kiddo and I ventured to a favorite place of ours, Bayou Ceramics. It’s a paint-your-own pottery place. I wanted to go in and paint a candy dish. She picked out a Christmas dog.

She got bored pretty fast, so as I continued painting, she went off to look at books and play with the 2 little boys that were there lol

I’m surprised I haven’t made these sooner xD But here they are! I made them just in time to celebrate my one year anniversary (Dec 24th) of watching both movies back to back and going wild over them.

If you’ve never heard of it, here’s the summary from Wikipedia listing: “The Boondock Saints is a 1999 American action film written and directed by Troy Duffy. The film stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus as Irish fraternal twins, Connor and Murphy MacManus, who become vigilantes after killing two members of the Russian Mafia in self-defense. After both experience an epiphany, the brothers, together with their friend (David Della Rocco), set out to rid their home city of Boston, Massachusetts of crime and evil; all the while being pursued by FBI Special Agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe).”

So, using a combination of patterns (trying to add a medium size option plush for my shop), I came up with a good balance ^^ They’re about 13″… a vast difference from the 22″ tall pattern I almost decided on xD

I made a sleeve before for my iPad but sometimes I get scared of it sliding out and breaking into a million pieces. I found this really cute faux fur, so I decided to make something cute from it ^^

The flap closes down and secures with velcro. The inside is lined with padded quilting fabric.

I managed to make this in one night :) It was fun, but now pink fuzzy faux fur dominates my office x_x
