Iphone'd home

Tah-dah!
Behold my iPhone/iPod case that has been shipped off to a friend. I should have actually measured, instead of just estimating, but it does hold it well (a tiny bit of the top comes out). I guess that's one thing I should actually get going on - measuring.
Made with fleece.

I have recently become enamoured with the lilies in my backyard, so I made her a lily case. As her backyard projects have been ovewhelming, she now has a flower that she can take with her.

I am hoping that she enjoys it. In return, I am getting a tardis iPod case. I LOVE swaps!

Stay tuned for the tales of my recent PlushSwap.

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 .

Let the yarn sing to you

What started off as a small idea, quickly turned into a vacation away what I would normally do.

For a swap on Facebook, I decided I was going to crochet while others were sewing and what have you.
When I first started to make her, I actually did not like how she was looking. I was thinking that I was going to frog her and end up sewing my own plushie to swap anyway.

After her tail was done, I had to add some frills to match the tutu frill around her waist. From the fringe frill, I had to add some spines up the tail.
The spines on the tail made me add some to her arms. Her arms are bendy due to the pipecleaners in them, all the better to help her swim.
The muted sea-ish colours made me want to add bright, lively colours as her hair.






I don’t know. From Frog Pond to Open Sea is a big leap. I am so glad I like her.
That is one thing about me. I never give up. Eventually, the project will show the creator what he/she/it was supposed to be.
