Craft Update

Its the end of the month and that time again to update everyone on the pieces that have been done as well as what I am up. I've set the layout a little differently so it can give you an overall idea of what I'm doing

Completed Pieces
This month has started me experimenting on pieces and I have had some ideas that may appear in the next update.

The three photos above are from my decorating bug I got into after I got my Fuji Instax Camera. I haven't fully completed these yet but they look ok with the plain paper frames and cross stitch pieces among them.

 A little Molly Makes reindeer that was made during a night shift at work. Hand sewn with felt and embroidery thread.

Random stitch counters made during night shift. I like stitch counters for knitting and I often break the cheap plastic ones because I'm too rough with them. These were made simply with eye findings, lobster clasps, and beads.

 Commission made for a coworker of my sister. Cute pair of lemons with felt leaves. Made from acrylic yarn.

Designer: Amigurumi Food

 Commission made for my sister. She found a shrug pattern that had all the current eevee evolutions on it. This one is Eevee and made from crushed velour. Hand sewn as well.

Designer: Sew Desu Ne?

Commission made for my sister. With the leftover crushed velour, she asked me to make a Shiba Cube from the same designer. The face is felt applique that has been both ironed on for placement and then sewn on to secure in place

 I've been making more things for Japan for the end of the year. This is an owl beanie I found a pattern for. Crocheted with Red Heart Lisa yarn

This is the matching pair of gloves that go with the beanie. Also crocheted with Red Heart Lisa yarn






Pieces Currently In Progress
- Shop
The lemon commission is also being made in a batch for sale in my Etsy shop once I have it up and running again. The designer of the pattern has noted on the pattern that it can be made and sold with a notation and link back to where it came from.

- Personal

I'm currently in the progress of making leg warmers for myself that are inspired by the Owl hat. I'm actually going to type this pattern up so I can put it onto Craftsy for others to use.

It's currently being made with Sirdar Snuggly Crofter DK yarn. It's very soft and nice to work with



- Commission
I haven't started any commission pieces but my sister has left material bundled up into bags for a few projects she would like. One of which is the Vaporeon version of the shrug. It will probably be the next one made.

Writing In Progress
My writing has been neglected lately but I do have some ideas for adding more chapters to the FCGS and Yugioh fanfictions as well as continue with the Iron Wolves story.

I'm going to fix up my Lulu storefront and rewrite IWA before continuing on. It's been too much time between writing IWA and IWB that my writing style has changed a lot.

Hopefully by the end of April, all three storefronts (Etsy, Craftsy, & Lulu) will be up and running as well as linked to here as well as their respective Facebook pages.

Creating Patterms

I've been looking at making my own patterns and selling them on Craftsy. At the moment I'm experimenting and attempting to create adjustable leg warmers.

I've been making things for my Japan trip at the end of the year and I feel comfortable enough to start making my own patterns. I'll probably make a few small items like yoga socks, leg warmers, and other items before I move on to bigger patterns.

I'll put photo progress on here each month with the updates and I'll also put a link to my patterns on Craftsy as well once I have them up.
