I love painting, but I'm not very good yet I've been making random paintings for an "art wall" in my room(you can see a couple of them in the background), and this is one of them. It's heavily inspired by some really cute chipboard things I saw at Hobby Lobby.



The colors are way more vibrant in real life (the astronaut has purple bangs!), but this is just a quick webcam photo.

Last week, we had a couple snow days in Texas, which means no school and extra crafting time! I made these plushies while I was holed up inside my house.

Note: My digital camera is being feisty, so prepare for some cheesy webcam photos.

Plushie Whale:



The whale is the only plushie I made with a pattern (the others I made my own) from the book Softies by Therese Laskey

Plushie Giraffe:



Unloved Valentine:



This little guy turned out a little wonky, so I turned him into an unloved Valentine with fangs. I was planning on making a more friendly counterpart, but my ancient sewing machine broke and is getting a tune-up until tuesday.

These next three are part of a "Broken Heart" series that I plan to continue.

Plushie Bear:



Cheeky Winking Koala:



Plushie Pig:



Enjoy!
