Mikono's Adventures in Crafting

[kochi~mochi]

I just finished making my first stuffed animal and wanted to post a picture. it doesn't have eyes or a tail yet (i haven't found anything for it) and its not perfect, but its a start. As time goes by i'll post more pictures of things i've made. Feel free to chat, ask questions, offer helpful comments, etc.

mrgreen now two of my friends want blue kitties like it, which is good cause i have to work on that head-body connection before i make a human plushie (which i -will- do eventually)

Bobo wants a blue kitty, Cody wants a blue kitty with green eyes, and smity wants a panda with nasty teeth. that one's the last on my list, for after i've done a few more of these.

that is addorable. and I love the happy bunny clock in the corner. (is far too in love with happy bunny.)

mrgreen i love that clock. It says "School prepares you for the real world, which also sucks" My sister got it when she was interning. THat pic was taken in my sister's room, cause i can't upload pictures to my computer, i have to use hers.


Right now i'm working on a blue kitty (same style as Bunny) with green eyes. Its for my friend Cody, and made out of my jr. high grad gown, which is as blue as my upside down boots (well, the blue pair anyways)

And on another note, i went to the fabric store today, thinking "i have $20. i can spend $20! so happy!" My sister decided to split the cost of the fleece for my other plushies and so i ended up only spending like $8 of my own money. And everything was on sale! it was meraculouse.

That is adorable. I wish I could sew like that.

i do too. That was actually a result of a bit you can't see due to the mad picture taking skillz of the Mikono. I managed to make it look like the head is attached well.... its not. xd

AccentualWolf- Its really not the best sewing ever. I've had to re-stitch the head once already. sweatdrop

Okay, i just finished my latest plushie. Its a cat, made out of my middle school graduation gown and a couple of buttons. It sits on its own (i'm rather proud of that).

Thanks! One of my guy friends said it looks like the heartless from kingdom hearts, and now he wants one sorta. I'm making him buy the buttons.

It'll probably be a little while untill i get around to making another, because i refuse to use my grad gown for fabric again. its really hard to work with... And i'm trying to catch up with schoolwork. Unsure how successful i will be, but i'm going to try.

I finally untangled some of my yarn. My sister and i have aquired alot of worsted weight yarn over the years, and it managed to get all tangled up. I decided i needed to get it all organized cause its in my closet. sweatdrop We're working on turning a standard paperback book case (just tall and deep enough for a paperback book, my dad makes TONS of the things and theres an unused one in my sister's room) into yarn shelves. All we need to do is get some mesh or something to staple over the bottom half of each shelf. Then i'll have another shelf and a half in my room to store cloth! YAY!
