Chibi Gamzee Makara amigurumi

I haven't posted in months, so I've got to make up for it while I'm able to. lol

A friend of mine requested a plushie from me a long time ago...he showed me pictures, and I honestly had no idea what in the world this guy was supposed to be. I'd never heard of Gamzee, but evidently, my friend and his lady are crazy about the webcomic he's from (turns out, so are a few of my friends). After putting it off for months, I was lucky enough to get it done a few days before their anniversary...but unfortunately, his lady didn't get until after it had already passed. :P Curse you, international shipping. At least she loved it. :)

I had to create my own pattern...I wanted to add some kind of cute flair to him, so I thought a chibi form might be nice. He turned out great. ^-^

Before I sewed his horns on...this is how tall they were. 

After his fluffy ass hair. :P It took me HOURS to finish.

Hair pulled back

It didn't take too long once I committed to it...that's how it always is, though, isn't it? >.<

Misty cosplay bag

Well, since I'm already here...

A few months ago, Jordan and I decided we'd try to cosplay as Ash and Misty at our next anime convention. He decided to get all hipster on me (in his own words), because everyone in the world cosplays Misty and Ash, so we're doing something different for Anime Blues. With any luck, I'll get everything finished soon!

Here's the Misty bag I designed. It took me AGES to finally finish it. I got frustrated more than once, since I was just making my own from scratch, so I put it down for a long time...but here it is, complete and super cool.

I just love it.

I hand sewed the zippers on...I'm not so good at sewing, so it took a million years...but there it is, in all its awesome glory. Can you tell I'm proud of myself? :P

An ode to hats...

I've made a few things since January...actually, I made some of them in the middle of last year and just never got around to posting them...no matter. :P An image heavy post regarding hats!!

To start...I made this before I made my Soul Eater hat. This was for a friend of mine. Death the Kid.

Pardon the derpy expression. :P

This is the hat I made for my mom for Chrimmas. It's a convertible hat, which I made from April Folt's pattern. It turned out great, but I don't think my mom has actually worn it. :P

 As a slouchy hat

 Props to my friend for sportin' the ponytail. :P

From the back...it was so freaking adorable on her!

My dad also requested a hat for Chrimmas...he's a huge fan of Android. He wanted it to be green and everything. :P

 My brother, keepin' it gangster. :P

 From the top!

Us. :3

My little brother wanted a hat (no, the littler one than the above pictured), so I tried finding one online that I liked...there wasn't one. I picked up that yarn, because it was the same type that I used for my mom's hat, and it was also soft and awesome, and just made stuff up as I went. I lovelovelove how it turned out...even if it isn't finished. It was supposed to be a Chrimmas present, too. >.>;

I think I actually like it better without the face. :P

Nearly finished sewing on the details...even though I haven't touched it in months... x.x

I've been requested to make another one for a friend of a friend...they're going to the same anime convention that I'm going to, though, so I don't think that's going to work out very well. >.>;;

Old Amigurumi: Part Two

So, honestly, I haven't done an amigurumi in a long while. For a few months, I've been focused on hats and other useful things...I'm trying not to let a whole bunch of practice stuffies clutter the place. But, truth be told, I have a small shoebox full of silly things I haven't finished yet. Like my goomba, my Mini Mario Mushroom, some other crazy assorted things...yeah. I guess I could show a couple of things. :3

Here's a little keychain I was supposed to make for my mom, because she loves pink and other silly colors...I really need to finish this, because I'm fairly close. Anyway...

This is a little octopus that I started on. I found the pattern on Craftster and had to tweak it, because the original was gigantic. Absolutely huge. And the tentacles were different, though I don't remember how...maybe I made them longer, I can't remember...it's been a while since I've worked on this.

I know my mom loved it, so, for the life of me, I don't know why I just tucked it away and forgot about it. It's cute, though...maybe I'll sew the tentacles on and give it to her soon. I definitely should. :P

And this is a pattern that I made myself, to go along with an incomplete present that was supposed to be for my cousin's graduation gift. It seems like I have a habit of setting deadlines for myself that I can never live up to...and then when they pass, I kinda just toss the project aside. >.<;;; No longer!! Well, maybe. >.> *sigh* Anyway, here they are.

If you can't tell, they're little amigurumi bananas. :3 I need to sew the tops on. x.x

And now...an amigurumi that I forgot to post but which is, surprisingly, finished!!

Kirby!! 

Mario hat!!

Kirby in a Mario hat!!

I got this pattern from Nerdigurumi...the fellow that I made it for basically went bonkers. He loves his Kirby, and I love Nerdigurumi! Here, have a link. Mine is a little more chibi-fied. ;D
