Oh, bloody hell

My complete list of finished customized teddy bears - called Furlings by some - is in here. I will be keeping it updated with each one I do. The bears are all store bought, but all the clothing and accessories were made by me, from patterns to execution, except where I could supplement Build-a-Bear items for things that are harder to construct like glasses and shoes.

( All the little bears in uniform? )

Yaaay, the post no one but me has been waiting for, a full catalog of what I did in the last year, with pictures! Because I would rather procrastinate than make things. Honestly, I don’t know how I made this many things in one year with my extremely un-industrious personality.

( Holy Exploded Sewing machine, Batman! )


Well, that was intense. And that was a list that didn't include some of the teeny things I made, like the small legions of bookmarks I designed on photoshop, and some single polyclay things that didn't have sets. Clearly, I have no life outside my craft supplies and sewing machine. (PS – it really did explode! But it’s better now). I am productive, though, which makes me happy.

It is already December 3rd and the PANIC is SETTING IN. It is CRAFTAPALOOZA in my house right now, a slightly neurotic and anxiety-attacky flurry of fabrics and threads and yarns as I attempt to make something for everyone. I've made good progress (since I started like a month ago), and intellectually I know I'll be fine and I'll get everything done, but I have this guttural terror of not getting everything done.

But lately I have made some cool things, if I do say so myself.

( a narwhal!? )

( Link, he come to town . . .  )

( Mini Master! )

( Whooo Scaaaarf! )

( Manga bag, featuring Hayate! )

Whoo, I've been busy. Yup. I've made more stuff than that but I can't share it yet :3




In other news, if I here ONE MORE WORD ABOUT TIGER WOODS I AM GOING TO LOSE MY SHIT AND GO HULK-SMASH ON NANCY GRACE AND THE WHOLE OF THE MASS MEDIA WHO CONTINUE TO HARP ON THIS SITUATION WHEN ACTUAL NEWS IS OUT THERE HAPPENING. HIS POSSIBLE MISTRESS HAD A LARGER PART OF THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NEW YORK POST THAN THE GODDAMN PRESIDENT TALKING ABOUT THE GODDAMN WAR IN IRAQ YOU FUCKING IDIOTS AKFALKSDGHQIUAF;KHLA;LKFHAEBRLGJDFK.NHBHL.

Yes, I have not forgotten my vow to make a ragdoll of each of the ten Doctors from Doctor Who, and here is the second installment, Nine.

( Nine! )

Two down, eight to go. And I am having so much fun!

Okay, after like a year of letting his disembodied head sit around in my craft box, I finally finished my Jack O'Neill doll the other day.

( pikchures! )

He goes with Sam and Daniel and Teal'c dolls that I've made.

In the continuing tribute to stuff I make, here is yet another edition of Dolls I made, except this time, you are gonna see two dolls I made for other people. With the exception of Daniel, all the dolls you've seen here were made for me, but these two I made for Carl and Chelsea respectively.

( Number One, engage! Make it so, and all that French*cough*British*cough* rot )

Yay, dolls! I think my next attempt (after I hopefully and one day finish poor disembodied Jack O'Neill) will be some mythical creatures. A griffin is first on my list, thanks to the loooovely animation in Narnia. Pretties. :)

Yay, more dollies! These are my two Stargate dolls. The bespecktacled boy is Danny (Dr Daniel Jackson) and the blondie girl is Sammie (Major Samantha Carter). Here are some pics of them in their pjs!

 

 

Because there are lots of pictures, and I want to compare the doll to the actual person

so nobody gets annoyed at a super long, graphiccy post.
