Project: Crochet Luffy (One Piece)

Looks like I'm doing alright in keeping up with my blog. It has only been 5 days since my last post!

Anyway, not much has been new. I've been extremely busy at work. There's so much to do, but so little time! On top of that, school is going to start soon for me, which means I won't have much time to craft anymore.. :(

So I'm trying to make use of my time as much as possible and decided to make my boyfriend a complete set of One Piece characters! It's one of his favorite manga/anime series, so I'm sure he'll love them! First up is Luffy, the leader of the crew!!

First human! Not too bad, right? What do you think? I hope you like him! Sanji is next!

Stay tuned!

Prototype: Crochet Sackboy (Little Big Planet)

Ok... it hasn't been too long since I last updated, which is good! I finished Sackboy finally! He has probably been sitting around my room for a month or more... I know. One of the reasons for the delay is because I'm actually not too crazy about this one because I was making him off the top of my head. Since I never played Little Big Planet and was making this on the train, I didn't realize the picture I had in my head was wrong. On top of that, was he always knitted??? Whoops. I don't really know how to knit so he looks a bit different. Oh well! It is just a prototype after all right? (Actually almost everything here is!! hah!)

Here he is!!

So the differences are.... He actually has stumps for feet instead of actual feet. His eyes are felt instead of buttons. His zipper is gray, not white (in my defense, I didn't have any gray felt). His head is not round. He's supposed to be knit, not crocheted. His body is more cylinder, not body-shaped... and I didn't add any stitch detail.

Pretty much everything is wrong huh??

This is how Sackboy is supposed to know for those who are curious and do not know:

Isn't he so cute?! Too bad I butchered him! Maybe when I'm feeling up for it again, I'll try him again.

Facebook Fan Page

So, I started a Facebook fan page a while back, but got too lazy to actually do anything with it. I finally set it all up today, but I still need to figure out what to do with it. I'm hoping it will help me generate some traffic to my blog and maybe even get some followers.

Just in case you were wondering, the link to my fan page is here.

Now, I'm one more step closer to getting some products out and ready for sale. I'm still in the process of establishing myself and experimenting with crochet. It will definitely be a busy time for me this year and next. I have not yet set foot into any of the craft-oriented communities yet, but I do plan on doing so. In addition, I  probably won't be selling anything until later this year, or until I am more confident of my work. Constructive feedback is very welcome at this point. I would love to hear what you like or dislike.

Anyways, I have a lot of works in progress, and I still have not forgotten about my last post. It is getting pretty late, so I will work on that last project I was talking about tomorrow. I have a few other things that are almost ready for posting!

Stay tuned! More good stuff are in production!

So I've decided to give sewing another chance...

... because I gave crochet another chance after years of neglect.

It would be unbelievably awesome if I can sew as well as I crochet! This way, I can spare myself the headache from finding clothes that I like and clothes that fit and look good on me. Wishful thinking, I know... but I like to be optimistic about it :)

Anyway, here are some fun pictures!

For my oldest sister. And yes, I make her a lot of bears! It looks similar to the first one.. but the head is actually smaller and it's really, really tiny. Like tiny as in 1.5 inches short.

Next up are my beloved chickies!

Hehehehehe. They're just so much fun to play with.

Yes. I know. Nothing new. You've already seen them...  but they're just TOO FREAKING CUTE!! Just looking at them makes me happy. I'm making a whole army by the way. Yes. It will be amazing. They are already prepared as I type this. All I need to do is cut out their eyes, beaks, cheeks, and feet, then glue it on and they'll be done!

......... Oh, but I did forget to mention that I hate doing that part. I've been putting it off for a long time. Like... I think I have 20 of the balls ready to be assembled long. *Siiiiigh* Maybe tomorrow. If I do get to that tomorrow, I will have another surprise!

*Hint: He's brown, small and has fingers.

That's all for today! Thanks for reading!

Project: Crochet Swan

You know what kind of noise swans make? .... It sounds quite unpleasant. Next time when you see them, listen and think of me. :D

ANYWAY, I keep forgetting to update this account because I'm too lazy to write. Soooo.. I've decided to bombard you all with pictures instead! Yay! Pictures! :)

I didn't use any patterns to make this. It was made on a whim and I pretty much just used whatever instinct I had for amigurumi. I think it turned out really well for the first try! It's a shame that I did not have any scrap paper or anything to record the pattern because how am I supposed to make it's mate now?? Oh well. I'll just have to try it again. The hassles of making things on the train. My bag just isn't big enough!

I have a few more things that are in progress so be patient and I'll update again... when I remember to. =P

Btw, why doesn't Blogger have any emoticons? It really should! >=(

What happened to my blog?

Wait, what? I have a blog? Uhh yeahh.... So I've been a bit busy at work..

.... and super lazy with crafting. Whoops.

Gotta get back into the mode! I have SO many unfinished projects going on and it's not even funny. Ever heard of Little Big Planet? I have two bodies of Sackboy that are lying around without any limbs or facial features.. I also have like 3 blue bears that have been lying around for months (again without any limbs). I still have that whale that I mentioned a while back that I never finished and a bunch of other things. Oh, and I just started crocheting up a swan (not turning out that well though). Ugh. What is wrong with me?? I've got to finish some of those things!!

Yeah..... I really hate making those small, tiny appendages as you can see. My solution? I try to pick things that don't require too many attachments. See my last post as an example. :)

Anyways, I forgot to mention that I've joined deviantArt like a month or so ago. In case you don't know what that is, it's a site for amateur artists. It's a really awesome site. Great for inspiration and you get to see a really good mix of artwork by very talented (and not so talented) people.

I did make something a while back that I promised to post up, but never remembered to.

 

Here's the squid I was talking about! Waaaaaay overdue, but still cute! :D

Projects: Crochet Chick and Kitty Cat

I kept myself really busy this weekend and made a few patterns. One kitty and one chickie. I was also working on some patterns last Friday (a jellyfish and a whale) which oddly enough, I did not finish. I'm almost done with them though! More than half way there!

Anyway, just thought I'd post up some new things :)

Ta daaaaa! Don't you love them? I do ♥

I'll try updating more often!
