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. >.>;;
