The Great Pumpkin???

The pumpkins are orange poster board with color pencil, the leaves green poster board with colored pencil, Sally and Linus white poster board (blue for the blanket and bow) with color pencil and marker.

plushies

I saw this cute site for creating your own plushie patterns:

The site gives a video demo, and the program doesn't look that hard to master. I'm going to give it a whirl when I get some free time.

Yay!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

Molly Monkey

I found this really cute pattern the other day, and really wanted to make one...but didn't really have a good excuse to. Luckily my nephew wanted a Christmas present for his kindergarten teacher, who just happens to have a monkey theme in her classroom.

Molly Monkey:



and some close ups:


I modified the skirt pattern to make it pleated and fitted, the shoes I made from regular fabric instead of felt, added lace to the sock tops, switched out the beret for a bow, and embroidered the eyes instead of using felt. I think it turned out rather nice :-)

You can find the pattern here:

YAY!!!!

My Stitch'nBitch 2008 calendar has arrived!!! My DS cover is on Jan. 18 ^^ I had kinda hoped it would be in Dec., closer to my b-day, but whatever ^^

Table decorations

these are the table decorations i made for my grandpa's 80th birthday party

they were made from branches we got at JoAnn's, and birds nests, eggs, and birds from Michaels. we had a red bird too, but these were test photos so the others could see the decorations we had planned. i also made picture holders with wire and a sculpy base. they were simple, but pretty time consuming. i think we made...24? of these, 2 per table (6ft tables).

Halloween Pumpkins

These were our pumpkins this year ^_^ quite a variety lol

Wilson

I made a wilson for a sermon prop at church. I think it looks okay ^_^

Halloween's coming!

decorated again...
