I finished the project for my sis, I’ll post it soon. It’s nothing to write home about, I find that my actual stitching around the characters is improving. I need to work on faces though.

Wondering what I find so terrifying. Well, it’s not zombies. I can assure you of that. I figure after all the zombie movies I’ve watched lately I’d be an expert zombie hunter – unless these were new fangled zombies that couldn’t be killed by a bullet in the head, perhaps their weak spot would be in their big toe. That would be a shocker.

Sorry, I’m rambling. Tomorrow, after work, I have to see the dentist. Not for anything so scary at the moment. But it’s a consultation for getting my wisdom teeth removed. That is scary. Not just the cost, but the pain this endeavour will no doubt entail. I had hoped maybe they’d rot out in a painless manner. But no, they are happy healthy teeth that are growing in such a fashion that they are pushing against the rest of my teeth causing issues. Wish me luck peeps.

So I was looking through some of my old files I’d saved onto CD and found this Woodman image that I made years back, as I recall it was made with the shape and line tool in Photoshop. It was like a walk down memory lane as I remembered how much I enjoyed Rockman/Megaman back in 2005.

I recall I had made a pattern for a felt Cutman.EXE I looked for it, but could not for the life of me find it. I’ll look again this weekend. If I find it I’ll make it and see how it turns out. My project for the week is to create little felt people from a pattern my sister made. I’ll see how they turn out and post them. I feel that with enough practice I might be able to become somewhat skilled.

I wonder if I need wool felt. Maybe that would make me look better. Lol. Anyone work with wool felt? If you do let me know if the surface is a fuzzy as the cheap stuff. Frankly, where I live I can’t even GET wool felt. I’ve never seen the stuff before. My best bet is buying it online, but as it is expensive I am reluctant to buy iany.

Yeah baby, my hand sewing skills rock! Aside from that pig that I started months back (not yet complete, sitting in a box at the gluing stage) I have not sewn by hand since I was in grade school, I haven’t done much machine sewing since high school. On Thursday I decided to try to create something so I made this:

It’s supposed to be a hamster. It looks like a bear. Therefore I will call it a Teddy Bear Hamster. I think the reason it looks like a bear is because I forgot the whiskers. Whoops.

Then today I was flipping through the channels and found that there wasn’t anything on worth watching. So I flipped to Jurassic Park and decided to create another masterpiece. This is what I ended up with:

Yes while it appears slightly lopsided I’d say it was a good job, if I were 7. However, I am not. I’m claiming this as my practice phase. The fact that my creations look like a child made them is simply because I’m out of practice. Not because I’m a bad seamstress. There is I suppose a reason for my reluctance, that being my apparent lack of talent. However, I’m going to stick with this to justify the purchase of some new craft books, and to entertain you with my juvenile creations. 

How do you like the new look? I thought the website could use a little overhaul. I’ve got some new things to show. I’m hoping I can post again tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers.
