Leprechaun


I had originally planned to do a simple plush shamrock for Corbyn's St. Patrick's Day gift. I saw this cute little Pattern and thought "that would be an awesome little Leprechaun" So I of course made one with red hair and added a little shamrock on it. I like how it turned out. I wish somewhere around here sold embroidery thread, but the fabric markers did a great job when limited by time. I didn't finish it on St. Patrick's Day unfortunately. I did finish it by the day of the parade so it was a memento of Corbyn's first parade.


90-minute shirt


I needed some summer cloths for Corbyn so I decided to make some. I stumbled across this TUTORIAL from MADE. Of course being my first try it took a me a little more then 90 minutes. An hour more to be exact, but it was still pretty easy. I wasn't too happy with the way the first one turned out so snug around the neck. I adjusted my pattern by an inch around the neck and that one was way to big. I need a happy medium. I plan on resewing part of the second one for a better fit and will take some pictures of that as well.

I love green on him. Most of the stuff I make him is green or grey.

Plush Car

For Valentine's Day this year I decided to make a Plush Car for Monk. It turned out really well, but it took a lot more work then anticipated. This is the first time I have attempted a plush(with the exception of my deformed bee) so I was figuring out tricks as I went along. I was not happy with my work several times and redid them, but hey it turned out pretty good. Monk loves it and asks for it at bedtime every night now.
