Baby Sloth Plush!

Awww... I started on this little baby sloth plush on Saturday, but wasn't able it finish it up til today, since I didn't realize I was out of poly fiberfill once he was ready for stuffin'. This was my only motivation for getting dressed and going to the store today. If it weren't for my need of stuffing, I would have probably spent the whole day in my PJs watching Netflix Instant and eating cough drop after cough drop!

This is my first plush with safety eyes! And I love them! Now that there's a hobby lobby here, I can actually buy them. The facial features are sewn on and made of felt, and his fluffy body is made from an old towel we were going to get rid of because it wasn't absorbant enough. I kept it, just in case. I'm glad I did, but sewing terrycloth/something as thick as a towel was a bit of a challenge. Luckily, it's forgiving because it hides the goofs, but it was a pain in the nerds.

I sewed velcro onto the paws, so he could hold on to various things. That velcro adhesive stuck to my sewing machine needle and gummed it up, dangit. Took me a while to clean off that goo, but I say this little sloth guy was worth it! Happy Monday!

Two Random Paperthings

 Ah, I've been lazy. I'm going to blame it on Picasa's "Blog This!" feature being broken right now, which is my blogging method of choice, since it's the easiest, quickest, get-me-back-to-snacking-and-whatnot blogging method. Believe it or not, I uploaded ALL BOTH of these two images manually (GASP!). So back to crafts, here we have a birdie I doodled with a long beak...

Aaaaand, a very simple welcome card I made with my frog on an old-timey bicycle art print, along with some other paper and stuff, and some rub-ons. I do have another excellent booklet of really nice high quality alphabet rub-ons I'm saving for that giveaway I mentioned! I haven't nailed down a date for that, but I'll let you know when I do. I wanna make it a pretty sweet giveaway, so it won't be rushed :) Well, I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Happy Tuesday!

Doodle Dice: Fun with inchies!

 

 I can't believe how slow the rest of this week is going! It's only Thursday?! Bah, I'm sure it'll be August before I know it. Anyway, I made a set of six inchies this afternoon for a kind of dice cube thingie. I made the inchies first, and then glued them onto a wooden 1 inch cube that I painted purple.

 

 Here are the doodle inchies! I wanted to put a corresponding number of doodles for each piece, but when it came to five and six, I said forget it. The five is a couple of robots high-fiving, and the six is a jellyfish with six legs. Hey, it works :) Happy Thursday, everyone!
