W.I.P. Day 1

Ok. So I am going to try to do a daily journal on my crochet work. It probably won't be an actual DAILY journal, and the stuff in it will probably be from the day before, but it will be W.I.P. and progress photos of my stuff!

On to the show!

Beginning of the day Sept. 13. Here's what I started with. Vincent Valentine. Needs his head wrap sewn on, his hair fixed, a new left arm (because I scrapped how I was originally going to make it), buckles on his cape, and an arm band around his right hand.

Here he is,  at the end of the day. His hair is fixed, head wrap sewn on, and old left arm removed. What is not shown that was worked on is all the buckles and his clawed hand, which were undergoing several coats of paint and sealant. Now, off to the next project of the day!

 What could this be? In all it's measly eight rowed yellowness?

A Mario mushroom baby blanket! But, the color of the mushroom is still not able to be determined at this juncture... Perhaps there will be some clarity on the next progress day. On to project #3.

 Now this little guy  doesn't have a before shot... unless you want to see a picture of a ball of yarn. He is a secret. Let's see if anyone can figure out what he's going to be as the progress goes on eh?
With day 1 finished, and this being a day behind real life, I can tell you that the next W.I.P. will be much more eventful! =D

Out of the Loop

I have been so busy, I totally forgot about my blog. Shame on me.


Anyway...

I have been working on several new projects!


I made my first Naruto doll, Kin Tsuchi. She took a lot of time and patience! She was originally a custom order for someone, but now it seems that they don't have the money for her. She was so looking forward to getting a home. She is now up on my etsy shop!


Pacman and Ms. Pacman purses. They were a request from someone who saw my Mario mushroom purses! I am still waiting to hear from them on if they want to purchase them or not. I really enjoyed making these, so when they sell I will probably make more!

I have been having so many project ideas. I should probably get them organized.

I'm still not finished organizing my craft stuff. I have had 2 cons to go to. OMG!con and Ikasucon. I have also had to deal with work *blech*, and the fact that the air conditioner went out for a couple days! This has been one of the hottest summers yet!

Wow

Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. A lot has been going on. I've been spending time with family, working on the house, and working on cleaning and organizing all of my craft stuff! The craft stuff alone is a crazy feat to try to accomplish!

Not including the like 4-5 30 gallon totes full of yarn...

And all of the odds and ends that need to find their own little space to be in...

I have a 50 gallon tote overflowing with finished projects that need to find homes!

My cousin visited and I pushed off on her; a knit hat, fingerless gloves (that is the only item that I had actually made specifically for HER), 2 owl magnets, 3 angel magnets, and 2 knit balls!

The tote is still overflowing... and I probably need to take pictures of a bunch of it and add them to my etsy account.

I have also been trying to find small simple projects to bust my yarn stash with. I ended up making and listing 20 iPod cozies in less than 3 days! There is still so much yarn left... They didn't take up very much of it.

I am really trying to condense my craft stuff. I know it is probably going to take forever, but I have a goal to get it finished by the end of June (hopefully at the very latest). I hope I can maybe post some pictures of the progress along the way, but Idk if that's going to happen or not =P.
