Yea, I know Christmas is over but this was too awesome not to mention!! Someone put up instructions on how to make your very own Puzzle Bobble Stockings!
I made us some Disney stockings but I might have to bust out with these next year!! Enjoy!!
It looks like I forgot to post some of the stuff I’ve been making in the last few months. I’ve been adding the photos on my facebook but I haven’t been sharing. It’s been a busy crafty year!
I finally took the plunge and signed up for swaps on the craftster.org forum. I have done 3 so far & I just signed up for a 4th one. They were Comics & Graphic Novel swap, Everything to do with Mario Bros. swap, and Coraline swap. I wasn’t happy with what I did for the Coraline swap.
On top of that I made a few Birthday gifts and 2 things for me. Right now, I’m working on a ton of Christmas gifts. I can post a few because either, my blog doesn’t get read by them or they already know what I’m making. That’s going to be for another post though.
I made 2 Adios Tokidoki etch glasses for Debra. I bought a few things for her from Comic Con but also added the glasses.
Meghan got a cross stitch that reads “Queen of the Kitchen” with crown. Metallic floss is a pain to work with.
For the Mario Bros Swap, I made my partner 2 Yoshi Egg etched glasses. I also included a tray with Baby Mario and Yoshi on it.
For myself, I hand carved a Totoro stamp. I love it! I made it because I read about letterboxing and want to try it. That’s my stamp to leave in books that I find. Now to make the time and hunt for some!
I re discovered my love for perler beads and the first thing I did was a bunch of Super Mario bad guys. You have Shy Guy, Boo, Bullet Bill, Bob-omb, Blooper, and Cheep-Cheep. Boo is made out of Glow in the Dark beads. I framed them and they will hang on my wall. Just need to figure out where.
Now back to work I go!
Finding and actually doing these challenge have been really great. They get my creativeness going and I make something. I discovered another blog and entered their challenge.
I've been on a creative streak. I did 2 - 2 page layouts. One of them was for Lilli's 5th Birthday and the other one was for AJ's first birthday.
When Lilli was visiting, I was working on my project for the Comic Book swap I'm in. She wanted to help out so I gave her a bunch of beads and she made the heart. Jaime joined in and made the Mario star. I did the Bullet Bill. I bought some magnet backs and they are now on the fridge door.
I'm working on two other xstitching projects. One of them is going to be a birthday gift.
My friend, Spooky had her birthday earlier this year and for some stupid reason, I thought it was in the middle. So I felt really stupid and rushed to make the gifts I had planned. I gotten word that she has received the items so I can now post photos! Woot!!
I made her a tote bag. Well, more like I bought it empty and used iron on transfer paper to get the bat and the words on there. It's the title to a documentary about the show "Creature Features" that aired in the Bay Area. I love the title and I think everyone should watch Horror Films. I mean everyone!
I also made her a Watchmen Smiley face logo keychain out of Perler (Melty) beads. That was fun to make. I did steal the design from some where on the interwebz. I'm glad she loved it!
I just realized I haven't SQUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEDDDDD about the Star Trek movie! I saw it and OMFG I LOVED IT!! I will post about it soon! Hahaha...
Up next, a Jubilee Barbie doll and some fun with perler beads! xD
On another note, DAMN YOU NBC FOR ONLY HAVING 12-24 OF CHUCK ONLINE. I NEED THE FIRST 12!!!
I'll be making a Jubilee one next. I either need to track down a cheap Gen X issue or just print out some scans.
First:
I need to get her!! In my random search of Blythe stuff I came across her. She's TINY!! Only 11CM. She's a Felix Brownie. My state refund should get here soon but I really REALLY should pay my cc bill. I'm gonna have to raid my room for stuff I can sell.
Anyone want to buy Manga from me? That's something on the top of my head I can let go. I have all of MARS, INVU 1-3, WISH, and others. Anyone? Help a girl out here!! =)
Second:
Hello Kitty, Bad Batz Maru, and My Melody flew from Japan to attend the Cherry Blossom Festival. Jaime and I went to the parade on the 19th. It was sunny out! I mean San Francisco had 90 degree weather! I got sunburned like whoa! My nose is right now in the peeling stage. I looked like the red nose reindeer after we got home that day.
We managed to find out where the "end" of the parade was and we got photos with My Melody and Batz. Everyone rushed Hello Kitty but it's ok. These two hardly get any love. Jaime's mad at Sanrio for not having much BBM stuff out lately. He hated the basketball line.
Jaime moved in with me. =]
No more having things in two places. No more having to go back and forth for things. No more having to buy something I already own because I'm too lazy to go back.
We now have a bigger room. His room at the apt he was at was just too small. I felt cramped. Ugh! I hated it. I know I'm at a 2 room apt but the rooms are bigger. We are able to fit his queen size bed and still have floor space. Not possible at his place. My brother is in the other room and they get along well. That's good!
I'm just flamin' giddy!!
Fourth:
I've been creative lately! Since we been moving him in, I haven't had a chance to sit and do anything!!
* The Togapi scarf I had started. I added a pokeball to it.
* Deadpool logo shirt. I plan on wearing it to the Wolverine Film.
* Deadpool's logo onto the plain laptop bag I have.
I'll post photos once I'm done.
