Toasty!

Hi all, meet Toasty Marshmallow! I made him last night! He's a little taller than my first marshmallow, but he's made out of really nice felt (super plush!). There's dry pearl tapioca in his lower half, so he sits really nice. See him up for sale on my Etsy site!

See more pictures after the jump!

Happy January everyone!

I hope everyone had a superawesome Christmas and New Years. I sure did!

Already I've done tons of new things this January, and have a whole list of things to do!

I've started gardening (indoors, because I don't really have an outdoors). But Already I have some sprouting action going on with dwarf sunflowers, chives, brandywine tomatoes and await the rest with eager anticipation! I bought a pile of flower seeds the other day and hope to get to planting those this weekend. I also decided to pick up a biology minor, which is awesome! It's already a ton of work, but I think the opportunities down the road are going to be amazing. I'm volunteering at the Aquarium again, but this time it's with a different program, now I'm teaching kids about salmon, and learning TONS myself!

Things I have yet to do include, building an indoor worm compost for my town house, starting a garden on my patio and shooting on film (at last!). I think I'll be able to pay off my Bolex's by the end of the month so I can get right on that! Hopefully I can show case some of my experimental stuff on here.

It's the thing to say, on a bright, Hawaiian Christmas day!

I hope everyone's holidays are proceeding with excellent excellence. I have been doing masses of sewing myself, but wont be uploading anything here until after the holidays. There's a couple examples of holiday things over on DeviantArt , if you're really bent on having a sneak peek.

I've also been baking a little here and there. All I can say, is that these are the best cookies I have ever made, ever. Possibly the best cookies I have also ever eaten. I've made them twice with cadbury white and semi sweet chocolate chunks, and I really can't stop eating them. Tomorrow (or later today), I am embarking on the baking of these for my folks to enjoy over the days leading up to Christmas. I'm pretty stoked about them, except for the cost of the booze.

Anyways, I suppose this is farewell until the new year. Have lots of fun, eat well, get together with old friends and celebrate!!

SNEEK PEEK!

Christmas!?
What could it be?!

The Cube of Josh

I did this one for an old friend of mine! I had a couple of issues. One, I made the cube too large, which resulted in a small decrease in awesomeness. I also spelt 'Cucumber' wrong, which is embarrassing.

Birthday-ness for Eli

So here is felt birthday card number two. This one took me FOR EVER to do! Especially because of the metalic thread. I had never used the stuff before... it's like stitching with tinsel and it caused me a considerable amount of rage. But it did turn out pretty nice, though I think the felt could have been darker or the thread could have been lighter. The blanket stitch around the edge wasn't supposed to be yellow, it was supposed to be red. Unfortunately I misjudged my embroidery floss stocks, thinking I had red, but ended up having every other colour!
