Days keep breezing by.

I've been pretty busy as of late. Working on designs, making gifts for people, figuring upcoming travel plans, and figuring school schedules. Fun times, eh?

But none of you are here to read my complaints, just to see the pretty pictures :3

This baby was commissioned by a friend for an upcoming costume.
Scarf commission
It will be about 3ft in length, and have tassels at the ends. Its been a stop and go process, as my shoulders have been aching as of late =<


Top Secret!
Secret Gift WIP
I think this will be the only progress I'll post of this baby. I need it done by new years xD. And so-far it doesn't resemble anything! ='D But I know when it's complete, my recipient will simply adore it :3 ya know, I hope :x

This nifty little number
Copper scarflet
Was made before I left for Vegas in late October, and during the entire trip, I didn't even wear it about. But its super warm, and comfy. :3

Octopus Amigurumi
Of course I've been working on more of these cuties. I'll list him in my shop sometime this week.

Heart Wristwarmers WIP
And a little something for myself. Which will be put on hold, until after the holidays it seems. In a lame attempt to keep me from getting distracted xD;


How is everyone elses crafty to-do list? Mine is still a mile long, but I'm slowly working through it. Lucky for me, most of my gift recipients don't mind late gifts.

Hopefully tomorrow, I'll give sneak previews of other things I have been working on. (granted I'm not tired from being out and about...maybe I should say 'sometime this week!')

Take Care, and Happy Crafting!

Sewing things!

Today was a sewing day for me, as I put all my guesstimated math knowledge and confusing sketches to the test. I emerged victorious, and with cute to show you all!
I also made myself a light box! =D
It would have been a better impulse 'Oooo must make now' thing to make when the sun was not in an awkward position in the sky, and when I don't have wider paper to use, but hey, I have a light box now!




I made tissue holders! I had my grandma in mind when making these, as no matter where I go, she's always shoving tissues in my purse or jacket pockets. It's rather cute >__> So I figured, why not make a cute holder for when I need a tissue?

I also saw some cute tea bag holders...somewhere on the nets(I should try to pay attention when surfing the net at like 3am >_> ) and figured, 'I like tea, I have lovely friends who send me tea...I should make one!'




So I did~ I got the pretty butterfly material from a friend who stayed with me during ComicCon, and I love it to bits. The gold is all shiny! =D Thanks again, Manin <3

Next up, we have a passport holder. Now my passport is just chilling in the safe, not being used (c'mon lottery, let me win you) So after some prodding from a friend, I decided to make it fancy and cute =3




So if I ever decide to leave the country, I can flash my passport with style...xD;


And lastly, I crocheted up some more adorable-ness.


Beecat goes 'meowBZZZ' A friend suggested I make this little pile of adorable. I found it kind of amusing, as I'm afraid of bees, but I took up the offer. The wing is a little off, but it's adorable all the same.


And I couldn't resist. While texting my lovely friend Dorian, and asking what I should make, the only response I got back was 'PAULLL!! With Spain's flagggg!!' So~~

Well, I'm off to rest and catch up with friends.
Take care all, and happy crafting!

All you need is love

I've had various songs from the Beatles stuck in my head for a bit today... -cough-

Today I ventured over to visit my mum and flail to her about my etsy shop, and such. She was such a darling, giving me ideas for little cute things to make, and how to price some items. She also told me she'd help promote my shop once I fling more items up, which is super sweet and adorable. (She's also reading this blog too, which makes me smile. HI MOMMY!! <3 Love ya)

On the crafty front, Octopi. They're sooo fun to make ;; To think I was just durping about one day and made myself an octopus! Now I can't stop >_>


This dapper octopus is a gift to a good friend. She's already given him a name, it's; Mr. Squiggles Remmington III
He was fun to make. With his little tophat, monocle and moustache ; 3;


This little pink one was the next to be made. I'm actually going to be selling it....after I figure a good way to mail it off... Same with Mr. Squiggles.... >___>


And this mustachioed little octopus will also be for sale =3


Octopi pile! ='D


And I decided to keep myself busy yesterday when looking for podcasts to listen to, by making a cake... thing? Sponge cake?

Saw a picture on a Japanese blog of a similar one, and of course I had to figure how to make my own. I have to stuff it, and sew it closed... somehow.

I have some more adorable ideas brewing, I just have to get started on em! I'll of course keep you lovely readers updated!!

Take care, and happy crafting.
