Sugar Skull Bear Plush II

Last year, I made a bear almost juuuust like this! A friendly artist contacted me through Etsy in the fall and requested that I make one for her. I've finally gotten around to it, since I'm starting to feel better after my back surgery :) Voila! The scarf is slightly different at the ends, but for the most part, it's a clone.

...and a close-up of the face! There are probably some differences in stitching, since I wasn't really using a real pattern or anything. Anyhoo, this little sugar skull bear is on his way to a new home.

I hope to ACTUALLY get going with listing and selling more things on Etsy. Without back problems, I won't have any excuses left... Happy Thursday!!!

Bird and Bubbles

Papercrafting! Woo hoo! As I had hoped, I was able to do a little papercrafting this evening... I remembered to ask Bobby to put up my paper bins where I could reach them, but the funny thing is, I just used scraps and bits of stuff that was already laying around my craft table.

The polkadot background is the front of a thank you card someone gave me, the grey bit to the left is a strip of paper some soap came wrapped in, and the bird and hearts are cut from an expired Michael's receipt coupon. Then I painted the flowers with watercolor, did some more bubbles with acrylic ink, drew/wrote some stuff, and voila. Hope you like :) Happy Mmmmmmm......onday? Yep, Monday. (I did have to double check.)

Monster's Pet

I did a little bit of drawing and watercolor tonight! Here we have a chunky little monster and his pet budgie. Man, I want a budgie! Or two, or ten. Someday... Anyhoo, I've been doing just a weeeee bit of crafting this week. I've got a cloned project to share tomorrow or monday :) Then hopefully some papercrafting. I've got to remember to ask Bobby to pick up my paper bins for me. They're on the floor, so they're.... well.... difficult to access. Meh, soon. Happy Saturday! I hope the weekend is treating you well.
