Oh my gosh, Hamtaro! I have the both a GBA and GameBoy Color Hamtaro game and I love them (Even though rounding up all the different hamsters can be a pain XD)

I received today from bethimusprime!
The walk back to my dorm from the post office seemed to take forever since something inside my package rattled and I really, really wanted to know what it was. Once I got back to my dorm and tore into my package I found this:


Pokeball Hot/cold packs (they're filled with rice so you can microwave them). They're super cute.


And then a creeper scarf (the color didn't seem to turn out to well in this picture but trust me, it's actually a really, really bright green. I find it funny that me and my partner traded scarves Cheesy

And then I found the source of the rattling sound, this mysterious box...


When I opened it up...

It's a set of Pokemon Badges, FROM ALL THE GYMS! Shocked
I feel like such an accomplished trainer now since I only have maybe a 4th of these in the actual games XD

Thanks for all the neat stuff Beth! Smiley
(Sorry for the crummy pics, it's all dark and gloomy here today and no manner of indoor lighting will properly illuminate things for pictures Undecided)

I'm so glad my package arrived safely and I'm happy you enjoyed all the items ^_^ (I was so worried with this being my first swap and all)

Had to go look up what game the amigurumi guy was from (shows my knowlege of video games...) and I have to say that his character looks pretty fierce but that amigurumi is super cute; which adds to my theory that any character , no matter how intimidating he or she originally is, immediately becomes cute and adorable when made into an amigurumi Cheesy

Well, I managed to finish up my items tonight since I was planning on sending out tomorrow (My university gets off Monday and Tuesday of next week for Easter holiday so I was going to send out tomorrow since I wouldn't be back from holiday til the 3rd) That being said, I'm probably going to send out tomorrow anyway even if we do get an extension cause I am super nervous about what I made and the longer it sits in my dorm the more I'm gonna stress over it  Undecided
9  TOYS, DOLLS AND PLAYTHINGS / Toys, Dolls and Playthings: Completed Projects / String Doll Makeover on: March 26, 2013 11:58:19 PM
Over this past weekend I got a little string doll out of one of those 50 cent vending machines. The set that he is a part of is supposed to be a "Career Series" where each doll "Has a unique element that symbolizes their career like DJ headphones, police hat, ballerina skirt and more!" Well, imagine my surprise when the one I get appears to be a balding, shirtless gentleman (See picture below, I forgot to take a before picture so I found a picture of the set on a sales website (that's where I got the series description as well) and I circled the one I got from the series in purple). I have no clue what career he is supposed to be (if anyone has an idea, let me know XD) and my roommate dubbed him "The Loser". I decided this was no way for the poor little guy to go through life so I got out my crafting stash and went to work. 

A little felt, ribbon, paint, and some other odds and ends later... Viola! A Steampunk-y Victorian Gentleman.



His coat and tophat are made of felt, with fabric paint buttons. I tied a piece of ribbon around his neck for the ascot and the "pocket watch" is made of some bits that I dug out of my bead stash. The goggles were cobbled together with superglue out of some bead bits, paint and ribbon. I'm super happy with how he turned out and he looks much happier than his former shirtless self Smiley

Set of all the string dolls, the one I modified is circled.


EDIT: A friend did some Google-ing about my little guy and it turns out that each one has a name (each name is a pun relating to strings/knots) and this guy's name was Knot So Funny Phil, so she has decided that he must be string doll version on Dr. Phil since it does kinda look like him XP

Freakie, Yeah Walmart has some pretty cheap frames (That's were I got mine the last time I broke my glasses XD) Also if your lenses don't exactly fit with a frame they have in stock they can usually cut the lenses a bit to get them to fit properly in the new frames
