Knitted Professor Hazard!

This is my knitted version of my good friend Professor Hazard. I made him for the Prof’s birthday– now he can squish himself!
By FAR the most tedious toy I’ve ever made. Lots of details, very time-consuming. I made individual fingers. But it was fun to make!
The Professor translates very well into [...]

Poppet Love

I could take it no longer, I had to finish up making my doll’s clothes last night.

This is Nellie. She’s a Poppet. (Poppets are taking Craftster by storm. See the Poppet Along for info on poppets and how to get the pattern.) Nellie is my first fully jointed doll, and although [...]

Shaking out the dust

I haven’t posted in a few days, mostly because I’ve been cleaning/organizing/purging, and that’s not very blog-worthy. I’m not even willing to take pictures of my sad little apartment at this point. I hope a move is in our near future– I’m always my best after a move, for some reason.
I’ve [...]

Ack! The formality.

I arranged to have my first official studio day yesterday. Ro was with her dad, and D was visiting his grandparents. Then I remembered I’d made a previous commitment to go to my cousin’s bridal shower. Really, my dad would have understood if I decided not to go, but I don’t get [...]

We went to our homeschool group meeting yesterday. It was Show your [...]

I’ve been wanting to make a cloth doll for a few weeks. I downloaded the The [...]

I miss morning

In the last few days, I’ve lost my grounding. Rowan went to see her Aunt Megan all the way in Alabama on Thursday. I get to see her today, thankfully. I do always lose myself when she leaves.
So does Dairbhre. While I don’t want to impose strict bedtimes, our sleep is [...]

Birthday Bear

This is my first post since I’ve moved to WordPress! I’m still tweaking the layout and all, so no worries, it will all look nice soon.
I wanted to share the things I made for my Boo Bear’s 2nd birthday.
Here’s my version of Jess Hutch’s Henry Bear:

I used some sort of sportweight mohair blend held [...]

Bubbly

I’ve been wanting to blog. Truly. Just haven’t gotten in the mindset much. Oh, I do have tons to say. I probably won’t say it all today. But I think this must end the unscheduled blogging hiatus I’ve been on here in the last couple of weeks.
Last week we all [...]
