Sew Soon?!


In July, there will be another plushie swap on Facebook (Plushie Swap Group).
The theme is Stars and Stripes.
Because I like to think of my self as an over-achiever when a project is due, I like to get started right away -plus, if I do something and I don't like how it turns out, there is always time to change it.

The above picture is of a ballerina cavegirl.
She is yet to be named.
Over a foot in height and arm span, she is great for cuddling.
I am unsure about if I *really* like her.
My boyfriend's friend said it was neat looking.
My boyfriend said it looks like it was designed by a 2 year old.
My response: WELCOME TO MY IMAGINATION!!

The one thing I really like about her though is her skirt. Pink silkish material. The middle is pulled taught and there's another layer under it. It reminds me of a skirt from the Victorian age..but a tad bit more modern.

I was trying to stay away from the typical Stars and Stripes -as swap day is July 4th (and I'm Canadian).
The only stars and stripes currently popping into my head is the USA flag.
I shall keep thinking of something else, if nothing else to keep me making things...

...but if not, I hope someone likes .

Spring has sprung



I have not done anything crafty in a while, so I took 2 hours to make a Flora. I sewed her by hand while watching Neflix. Go me.
I feel like something is missing, aside from her neck.
I know she does not have a mouth, but that is only because I feel like eyes say everything. Even in things I draw, no mouths.
