That Was Close!

I know this post is a few days late... but I finished the last plushie for my friends for Christmas on Tuesday... like 15 minutes before I gave it away... so I literally took this picture on a table at school before hurriedly wrapping it up. I made my own pattern for it, an improved version of the mudkip pattern I made last year... Though it's still a bit top-heavy and the mouth looks a little odd, so I'll probably refine the pattern a bit before sharing it.

And this is a picture of all of the plushies I made for my friends this Christmas and last Christmas. I still can't believe how much I've improved in just one year... Like, all of the plushies I made this time have eyes!

Deja Vu

Well, I didn't quite finish all of the plushies on time... I finished two of the three, so only one of them will be late... just like last year. And I'm going to give that last friend their present on January 9th... just like last year. Wow. I really need to get better at getting things done earlier...
Anyways, the first plushie I finished yesterday was this kitten, made with this pattern.

And I also finished a dachshund, made with this pattern.

Almost there...

I finished up three more plushies yesterday!

I made this totoro using a pattern made by Cheek and Stitch. For some reason the site isn't working anymore, and I'm not sure where else to find the pattern online that I could link it to...

Then I also made this baby raptor with this pattern by IsisMasshiro. I purposefully left off its claws so it would match the raptor I made last year for one of my friends.

And I also finished up a sea turtle made with this pattern.

Now I just have three more to finish up for tomorrow!

Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, Fishy in the Sea

This Ponyo took a rather long time... I mean, it didn't help that I kept switching between the 8 or so plushies I have left to make for the past few days or that I've had school, so I couldn't work on plushies as much... But I finished her!

I made the pattern myself, which I think turned out pretty well. Her hair is made of yarn, which is the main reason this plushie took so long to make. 

I also made a Luma from Mario, using this pattern and tutorial.

Now I just have 6 left to finish by Monday. My goal before was to get them all done by today, since it's the 12th day of Christmas, but that didn't end up happening... But there's no school today due to the cold, so I wouldn't have been able to give them to my friends until Monday anyways. And now I have all day to work on plushies! :)

There's a... Goat on Your Lawn

One of the plushies I finished yesterday was this little peashooter. The pattern piece for the head came from this site, but I had to make up all the other pieces. Thankfully they were all just leaf shapes and circles and rectangles. He's attached to a piece of felt-covered foam the same way as the baby Groot I made earlier, so that he sits nicely in the pot. His stem is the only piece with a pipe cleaner in it, to help him stand straight in the pot.

I also made a little goat, using this pattern.
