Basically the same thing, just on a different account so I can manage the blog easier.

This is my Fire Element Spirit in progress!

I love the yarn that I bought for this because it makes giving it a fiery effect much easier (it’s also turning out larger because of how chunky the yarn is). It’s really soft and fuzzy. :3 I don’t think I’ll be giving this one a cloak or anything because I really just want it to look like it’s on fire and I feel like adding the cloak would take away from that.

This is the second version of my Soul Element Spirit (using the pattern that I revised a lot!)

The doll turned out exactly how I hoped it would! I’m very very happy with this and it’s probably one of the cutest things I’ve made in awhile!

So this is the finished doll from the first test pattern. It’s the prototype for my Soul Element Spirit doll. (I’m doing a series of dolls inspired by the elements!)

I like the way it came out, but my second version I think turned out exactly the way I wanted it. I’ll be giving this one as a thank you present to an extremely generous woman who gave me the biggest box of yarn that I have ever seen in my life. I used the colors she gave me, so I hope she likes it. (I might add one or two things to make it more interesting.)

This was the product of me experimenting with a pattern I was writing. I didn’t think it would turn out like this, but it still looks good. But I’m trying a second time to see if I can improve it.

As for this little guy, I made an outfit and stuff for it and it looks totally awesome now. I’m quite proud of it. I’ll be posting pictures of it next week.

My Valentine’s Day themed bunny is all finished! I’m really happy with the way it turned out! But I really dislike the yarn I used and I really don’t ever want to use it again. But I still have one more skein left. D: I plan on uploading better quality photos sooner or later.

A WIP! This is A Valentine’s Day themed bunny that I am currently working on! I’m very happy with the way the base has come out and now I just have to make all of the appendages and stuff.

Rose hair clips! One day I got bored and made a crap ton of them. I’ve given plenty away as presents already, and I’m planning on selling the rest of these in my etsy shop (once I actually put it up). And then there’s that one awkward sun clip on the corner….I don’t know if I’m selling that one or not.

Another dreamcatcher!

This latest one that I have designed is much, much easier to make and saves me a lot of anger. Not to mention it’s beautiful too! This one isn’t done yet, I still have to add beads and crocheted feathers and whatnot.

I still don’t understand how his favorite color is beige.

A hat, scarf and fingerless glove set that I finished today! They look really boring, so I’m going to add some designs and stuff before I wear them. But the hat turned out perfect for once, so I am very satisfied.

This is a lace rock that I just made. I just improvised a pattern for it, and I think it turned out really well! I would like to make more of these, but I honestly don’t know what I’ll do with them. Sell them maybe?

Mr. Mew Pattern! (From the World Ends With You)

Sat, 10 Nov 2012 12:26:40 -0500

Just a quick note:

I do not mind if people want to use this pattern so they can make this, I just ask that no one sell the plushie made with my pattern. If you want to use this pattern as a base and make an adaption and sell it, that would be fine, but please make sure you credit me as being the one who inspired you. If you have any questions regarding the pattern, my ask box is always open!

I hope you enjoy the pattern!

This is my latest project! I had the idea awhile ago to make a crochet hook out of a stick, but also turn it into a wand. I thought I could take two things I love (crocheting and Wicca) and put them into one! And it worked out pretty well! It’s just a normal stick that stripped of the bark and then it was sanded down and painted gold. Then I used twine to wrap the handle, adding a piece of amethyst at the end and a piece of quartz on the handle. And then I just added some feathers and wooden beads. :)

This is a Mew plushie that I made for one of my sister’s friends. This thing took so much work. The pattern I used can be found here. I honestly did not like using this pattern at all, but I guess the outcome was just fine.
