Just some Harry Potter themed needlework I've done for swaps this year.

This is a Ron & Hermione hoop I made using this image from my Holiday HP swap partner's pinterest.  I thought they were too cute not to stitch up.

I also made her these cross stitched ornaments using this pattern. I wanted to make some of the others but I started having problems with my hands and wrist during the swap so maybe I'll get a chance later.

I made this hoop for my Back to Hogwarts HP swap partner using this image from her pinterest. I used satin stitch which I haven't done on a large scale before.

Swap: Whedonverse Swap round 9

I was commisioned to do another Doctor Who 10th plushie doll and she requested eyebrows and a jacket so I revamped my original plushie and came up with this. After I finished I just had to make him a felt sonic screwdriver.  Thanks for looking!

I recently did a personal themed swap with Oath Keeper and when she mentioned that she liked plushies and Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer I just knew I had to make her a Spike plushie.

Since Spike has such amazing blue eyes I decided to try the chibi style eyes for the plushie instead of my normal black safety eyes and so glad I did. First I drew the eyes and then painted them on some white fabric. Then I cut them out and glued them on. Surprisingly this all was a first attempt and worked. 

For his hair I had a hard time finding felt nearby that was light enough to use so I remembered I had some pale yellow flannel fabric and decided to try it and it worked great.

Thanks for looking!

I've been working on my drawing skills the past few months and one of my favorite things I've been drawing is monsters. Here are some monster ATCs I've made for the Ongoing ATC swap. They were mostly done with sharpies and pen.

Thanks for looking!

I loved Iron Man after watching the movie when it came out and have been meaning to watch the rest of the Avengers movies for a while and finally got around to it. I watched Avengers, Thor, The Hulk, and Captain America last week and was inspired to make some Avenger amigurumis.

I decided to come up with a new smaller doll pattern for them that is a little quicker than my usual amigurumis. They were so fun to make and I've already made a second set. They are all 5.5" tall except for The Hulk who is 7" and Loki who is about 6.5".

I made this for my partner in the Jim Henson swap. She mentioned in her questionnaire that she would love a John Crichton doll so with Farscape being one of my favorite shows as well I couldn't resist making Crichton in plushie form. Made using Baby London Stars doll pattern as usual. http://www.members.shaw.ca/plushie/patterns/sit/ Thanks for looking!
