Overhauling

Finally updating this blog again.

Been having a difficult few months but now I'm back with new designs and redesigns. This post will focus on the design changes I've implemented.
 
First up is my redesign of my mascot, the knit wolf

You can see I've given it a rounder body, rounder snout and placed the eyes differently to give it a cuter look


Up next  is my slightly tweaked Kirby

The changes here aren't quite as significant, but still there. I've given it larger eyes and feet

Finally, C'thulhu

This is the most significantly overhauled design. I've made him rounder, given him larger wings added more tentacles and positioned them so that they curl in different directions

Headcrab

My latest knitted monster, a headcrab from the Half Life games

 

Canada Post and Farmers' Market

Canada Post is back in action and so is my online shop

I am now able to ship things out again so, as before, you can find my work for sale here

Thank you for your patience


I will also be at the Farmers' Market on July 9 so feel free to stop by and say hello

New project and review

Doing something a little different today. In addition to posting my latest project I'm also throwing the spotlight on a talented Etsy artisan whose work needs to be seen.

At Home With PJ is a shop on Etsy that features stuffed toys and dolls, done in a style that I feel is a seamless blend of classic and modern.

It should come as no surprise that I am a collector of stuffed toys, particularly teddy bears, so I was ecstatic when this little guy arrived in the mail a couple of weeks ago (you know, before the lovely postal strike)


Beautiful and well made, her work would make a great addition to the collection of a kid or kid at heart. I highly recommend visiting her shop.

Now, onto my latest project. A stuffed toy of a Boo from the Super Mario games:

A little something cute to haunt your house

Angler Fish

The light-bearing fish of the deep as a little stuffed toy

For OnePoundOfFlesh

Christmas has come for you dear, time to receive your gift.

A small, cuddly .... tribute to you. A doll version of you as my imagination dictates



Personally, I think you look fantastic like this



Here's one of you with your friend and mine




Hope you like it, my bittersweet.


Note: For anyone who has just happened onto this... if you know who this guy is and what this is about then have a cookie.

If not... well... I'm not explaining it to you :p
Best go look at the moogles or bunnies instead

Field Trip

Went out yesterday. Felt compelled to visit this place.
