I just finished some BMO pillows for my kids:



We are so obsessed with Adventure Time....am planning to make more characters...Lemong rab and Gunter are up next 

My son moved in to his dorm room today. I just finished his quilt at midnight last night-phew that was cutting it close!



I cut stencils for the center squares and stenciled them with textile paint before sewing it all together. ALl of the designs are symbols from my son's favorite  geeky and sci-fi books, movies, tv shows, video games and web sites. My son is my sci-fi movie watching buddy. I'm really going to miss him when he is away at school. Making this quilt was therapy for me. It's not perfect but I feel better thinking of him sleeping under it when he is away at school 



Hyperbole and a Half web site, Hitchhiker's Guide, Firefly, Harry Potter, Portal, Big Bang Theory



Moon, Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Zelda, Doctor Who, Doctor Horrible, xkcd, Star Wars, Strong Bad (Trogdor)

My daughter (13) LOVES Portal 2 and really wanted to be Chell for Halloween.


We found an orange jumpsuit and altered it to fit her, stenciled it with freezer paper stencils, and stenciled the white tank that goes underneath:




The hardest part was the boots though. I had to make a pattern first. They were made out of thick white vinyl, that I had to hand sew because of a four day long blackout! (OUCH!)


Bit the COOLEST part was the wheatley candy bucket my daughter made out of paper mache and various recycled bits:


She had to do this during the blackout too...

I finished this needle felted playmat last week:



Mama duck and her ducklings share this pond with a turtle.

My husband is obsessed with the game.  I made this just so I could throw it at him to get his attention



It's made from a woolen pom pom, with the features needle felted on. So it's nice and soft should someone happen to throw it at your head.

Made with merino wool, wet felted over a balloon. I hope something will move into it this spring!

I've been making pom pom chicks and bunnies and mice this week:






They're all just made from merino wool roving made into pom poms, with glass beads and eyes sewn on.
There's a chick tutorial on my blog here: http://www.freewebs.com/dragonflyducky/pompomchicks.htm

Using roving makes them especially soft, but yarn pom poms will work as well!

I made these little booties over the weekend:



The base is wet felted and the design is needle felted. I love wool!

MWA!

I've been making these little guys the past few weeks and decided to make a tutorial:



It's a great project for a beginner...and would make  a cute ornament too.


Tutorial is on my blog here:
