Reading Fest!

Friday I got the book case I've been waiting a year for! I'm excited. So much so I tried to clean my whole room. Did it happen? Nope but half of it is cleaned, vacuumed, and very little needs dusting. Thank goodness on that one stuffed animals are a pain to clean. I got this book shelf just in time. In November and December I often drop everything and read. I don't know why I get this urge but it happens pretty much every year. I was going to announce that I would stop attempting to post every day but now I'm just going to say, see ya in January.

Not so bad?

I had company over today for a nice dinner so I didn't work today, at least not yet any way. I'm not sure what I want to work on ether. What should be on the top of my list is my fabric plushie. I turned him inside out and stuffed him not too long ago. He turned out pretty well but he does have a few ugly spots.

This person has the right idea:

Herdier

Herdier's done?

I feel like I'm a bit of a dits for this one. I've moved the buttons I was going to use for his eyes one too many times and now I've lost them. I'm sure I will find them at some point but till then I can't avoid updating with "completion" pictures. Even with missing eyes I'm very excited for him to be sewn together. There are a few less details then I had planned but that is ok as well. I'm very happy to be showing this, almost, year long project.

Merry Christmas Eve Everyone

 I would also like to say Happy 100th page view. Thank you everyone who has come to see my projects and those that have been fallowing throughout my updates.

Progression Picture: Herdier

He is almost done....but not within the time I promised myself. I think subconsciously I like to lie. Ether way, I am working. This post may not be the big tada I wanted but teasing works just as well. See I'm even lying to myself.

Pokemon Black and White was a wonderful game, I really hadn't worked up that much awe for a pokemon game in a long time. I did get that new feeling for a bit and I even feel in love with some of the new pokemon stronger then I remember for the first time playing a game. Normally my strong feelings for a pokemon in a select generation doesn't come about till years after. I remember using Slowpoke back in my earliest run threw of Gold but it wasn't till I replayed with the earliest team I remembered in honor of the remakes that I truly feel in love. Flaaffy is also one that I feel in love with around this time frame wile playing Soul Silver. Come to think of it maybe my weird love just comes from the fact that Johto is my favorite region, whatever.

I mentioned my Aunt gave me some of my yarn, that was this past summer, and in the pile was several new Red Heart browns, grays, and tans. It screamed use me, even thought Flaaffy was neglected and left unfinished, and my head went to Cubone but I realized that was hard. My senses came to me shortly after and my head reminded me how Herdier/Stoutland took the spot light in all my battles wile I was playing. My plan was born and a promise that he would be my biggest plushie yet. Ya totally not a stupid idea. That may have sounded fully sarcastic but I would like you to know it was only half sarcastic. For being such a big plushie was was very seamless in the making and quickly progressed so long as I wasn't distracted. Even so I was distracted twice for several months.

I came up with a new way to do paws and I've found it very helpful, I even used it on my Valentines Dog. Basically work in a round till the required size and tack down. Sounds to simple for me to be called clever but it looks good.

Even though this picture is at least 4 months old only one of those cats is finished. I'm really starting to dislike that dark blue and white one. Somehow I think it is going to end up as my mascot because it sticks around too long.
