Gengar~

So in order to feed my Pokémon love I decided I'd attempt to make a few of my favourites in plush form, (I've actually already made quite a few as presents so I'll have to share them at a later date!) I'm in the process of making a Growlithe (which I embarrassingly enough called an Arcanine for a while until somebody stopped me..) But for now I have a finished Gengar!

So anyway, I got myself some felt, put on a good old boxset to watch and got stuck in. It's not the best quality, but it's personal and I'm actually pretty proud of it. :)

Mother's Day

I usually try and make presents as personal as I can, whether it's buying something silly that evokes a past memory or making/getting something that is tailored to a person's interests. So this Mother's Day my mum asked for socks as a present, (no, not flowers or chocolates, socks.) As some of you may know by her fabulous blog: http://socklet.co.uk/ she has a fantastic talent for making cute sock-creatures. I then found a Moomin notebook Waterstones as a lovely surprise! Finally I made a character called Snufkin out of various material (funnily enough I had the idea of making him before finding the notebook as he's also a Moomin character,) and wrote a vintage looking letter thanking my mum for looking after her small adventurers and sealed it with wax. All in all, a very enjoyable day! :)
