i made this skunk for one of my friends (FOR FREEEEEE! :p) and will soon be shipping it out. i change the thread around her neck to a pretty pink ribbon that looks MUCH better. i'll see if i'll remember to take pics before i ship her out. i used my own pattern and didn't write it down. ;_; ah well. i've weened away from using patterns. surprise! i'm learning! haha.
fun fur =/= fun. it's a fucking bitch to use. :( but i need to use it for my next little project that i can't announce on here. ^___^ but pics will be up soon when i finish.
a kitty i just finished! :D used my own pattern and i just recently figured out how to mak them stand. the face was a bitch to do and did one before the one over there and soon realized i was doing it backwards. ahahaha.
my boyfriend thinks it looks like hamtaro because of the colors. -___-;;
anddddd i'm working on a skunk now. :3
that one ebay guy hasn't talked back to me yet. >:( i've got a luma ready for him and everything. grrrrrrr.
this is i guess a tribute to michael jackson's glove. :p the yarn was much thinner than what i'm used to working with and so it came out a little awkward looking. plus, i don't think i'll be working with that thin of yarn again. x_____x so frustrating. he stands 4 1/2" tall and about 3" wide. much, much smaller than my normal sized ones.
this is for the guy that bought it off of ebay. he's also ordering at least 5 more normal sized ones! :D i'm so excited! i'll be making so much money for them. ^o^ ebay was definitely a good choice to go to. maybe i'll do it again when i finish up with him. hopefully he doesn't sell them. D;
here's the muuuuch better version of my luma. ^3^ i'm thinking about selling a few of them, so if ya want one, hit me up and i'll make whatever color you want. heheh.
ohaaaaaaaaaaaaay! my luma is finally complete! i'm somewhat happy with how it turned out, but i wish i had thought about putting the wire in before i sewed everything up. i'm either going to leave it how it is or tear it open and perform surgery. haven't decided yet.
but i learned a lot about how the legs and arms are attached. the arms are a way worse than the legs, but it'll be fixed in the next one i make. 3:<
aaaaaaaanyway, i'm gonna play me some twilight princess. or super mario galaxy. heheh.
i've been working like crazy and naoooooooooooo, it's all paid off and i get a week off! ^____^
currently, i'm working on an angry octopus. i finally figured out how to make the tentacles curl and felt rather stupid when i did. ahaha. but now it'll make my octopus look even better. the tentacles are going slower than i imagined because i'm distracted by the god damn internet. >:(
he's also going to have a white tie thingy around his head to make him even more cute. :D
this was my first attempt at an octopus. with only 4 "tentacles" because i was sick of making all the little legs and decided he looked fine with just 4. my friend thought he resembled a deku shrub. now i just need to add leaves to his head! :) it doesn't show it in the pic, but his mouth does stick out and you can put your finger in there if you wanted.
anyway, i'm kinda going stir crazy because of how i'm used to working all day. i don't know what to do with my time! i'm playing my ds, crocheting, surfing the web all at once. time to focus!
i'm finally done with school for the summer! and i couldn't be more relieved. though i didn't pass all of my classes...i'm still happy to be out of that school. yargggghhh. SUMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! it brings a lot of free time, seattle and a buttload of hours at work. i'll be rollin' in the dough. mmmmhmmmm.
today i went to a place called the button empor ium. they have a shiiiiiit ton of buttons there, but i was kind of disappointed at how little they had of the kind that i wanted. :( they were also pretty spendy. i spent around $14 for about 10? buttons. something like that. at least the old guy was nice. i think i'll stick to michael's or something.
i finally have pictures of my owlettes! :D if you didn't notice already. i had to turn them in today to my teacher, and will miss them dearly. :p i'm going to make a bunch more of these and sell them last thursday (may 28th) since it's free to set up a table. a friend and i are going to sneak down there and be all... "BLAM! OWLS! AND! STUFF!" and hopefully people will buy some. i was influenced by a girl that reminds me of ariel in my science class who told me about it and told me i should sell them for much higher than i was thinking. who knows. i can be talked down if someone wants to try.
my animation project! took me FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR to do and finish. i don't have the patience for doing something like this, but it did go over well with the rest of the class. SUCCESS!
anyway, enjoy, relax, whatevs. i'm going to sleep. or to watch daria. whichever one comes first.
(or in my case, weaker. my hands are killing me!) these are my baby owls! i've made 4 but i didn't really like how the other one turned out. :( and i still need to finish the one on the left, though i'm really digging how he looks right now. reminds me of a kitty. ^o^
annnnnd they're due tomorrow! hopefully my teacher falls in love with them and gives me the full amount of points! >:O they're also going to be in an amination with my pyramid head doll for yet another class. reusing things i've already created is a good way to save time. these guys don't take too long, but when i have to use different yarn on some, it gets really frustrating. DAMN BEING POOR!
only two more days of class and then i'm outtttttttt! ^_______^ i'mstokedi'mstokedi'mstoked. summer will hopefully brings good things and fun times. :D off to watch daria. again. eek. i'm in love with that show. YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
anyway, nighty night!
ps. why isn't anyone excited about what i create?! :(
soooooooooooooooo, i'm currently working on my science project. and i'm making 4 little owls! :D so here's this little guy. i used the pattern from roman sock. i wasn't originally going to use this pattern, but i wanted to try something new. and luckily, it turned out pretty well! ^___^ i'm really loving his superly duperly huge eyes! i need to make three more still. two more of this guy and one in black, white and gray. all by wednesday! with two other projects to finish. hopefully i can accomplish everything on time. :( i hate finals week, but that means summer is that much closer. so close i can almost taste ittttt!! oh, and the sun isn't helping. i look outside while i crochet on my bed longing to be out in the sun playing or swimming or something.
anyway, i'm jonesin' for some sims 2 right now. my boyfriend got me completely addicted to the sims again. which is the worst idea everrrrr. i lose track of time everytime i play. hahaha. but! i'm going to buy a desktop computer this summer so i can catch up on those pc games i've been missing out on. (left 4 dead! ^o^)
i should probably get back to work though.
workworkwork! (i'll post all of my cute owls once they're done.)
happy mother's day to all the mommys! :D this is what i made for my mom. it was kind of frustrating to do once i put everything together because it didn't look as good as i was thinking it would. butttttttt then once it was all assembled, it turned out pretty rad! ^____^ i got the pattern from planetjune and thought my mom would love it. i'll make her take it to work and put it on her desk. :)
sooooo, i saw star trek last night. and after having never seen any episode or movie, i thought it was pretty awesome. the story seems pretty fun to follow, but i don't think i could watch it outside of j. j. abrahms version, though the camera was a bit shaky for me (and yet i love cloverfield...). (still a bigger star wars fan!)
anyway, it's mother's day and i should be spending it with my mom instead of BLOGGING. ughhhh. i'm out! <3 nic
this is a bubblehead nurse. she's from silent hill. she looks more brown in this picture, but in person she's much more red and looks much bloodier. her hat kinda annoys me and if i end up making another nurse, i'll definitely find a better way to make it look a teensy bit better in person. picture can hide everything! >:0
this is Pyramid Head. he's also from silent hill. he took a lot of frustration to complete but i'm extremely happy with him! :3 he's also the first crocheted dolly i've made so far that i'm proud of.
overall, i'd love to do more monsters to complete a silent hill series. :D but they're kinda hard despite these guys. i also need to learn how to crochet mouths that open. D:< it'd be extremely useful if i wanted to complete a series. heheh. anyway, i'm out! <3 nic
