Perfectly good whining wasted

So you know how I was whining about screwing up a poppet? Yeah. I didn't really screw up. I'm just a little crazy at 3 in the morning and got all stressed out about it when all I had to do was actually stuff the body and needle sculpt the boobies. I'm not sure if I will use this body for my bike mechanic poppet or not yet. We shall see. It really depends on what happens with the head. I cant wait to close the shop and go work on it!

Since its VERY important that every single one of my animals gets its picture on my blog. Heres Pumpkin! I wuuuv him =3

Roar!

Last night I was up until 4am working on a poppet. She was going to be super cool with fingers and boobies and blue hair and she was going to be a bike mechanic. Since I was giving her boobies I was using a modified poppet pattern and it got really messed up. I ended up wasting a bunch of fabric and time that could have been spent working on something that would turn out.
So Im still going to make a blue haired bike mechanic poppet but she isnt going to have boobies. I might still give her hands though.
Heres the stuff I made for the poppet swap! I cant wait to sign up for the next one! The green and purple haired poppets are twins. They have eyelashes =D
Crocheted dress with matching shoes and ruffly bloomers underneath.

Flowery dress. Not much else to say about this one....
Pirate costume with an eye patch! Mwahahahaha!
Silky polka dot dress.
Skirt and matching top. Of DOOM!Matching dresses
Crocheted bikini. I feel sooo insane for making this.
I also sent 3 balls of yarn for hair, 5 pairs of eyes and a drawing of a poppet.

More Poppets!

I got to visit my grandparents today. It was pretty fun. I gave my grandma the clothes that I made for her dolly and then took about 50 pictures of all the different outfits. I'm not obsessed, noooo not at all...
These are just some of my favorites. I was having fun playing with the shadows.



After taking pictures I got to snuggle with this bundle of cutenessNow I need to go clean a hamster cage or something. Darn things are turd machines!

My feet are warm now

So last night I was sitting around, and my feet were cold. So I checked out craftster(yay) and found a crochet pattern for really easy slippers! I made a pair and they turned out pretty well, then I went shopping with da and got some more yarn to make another pair. They are super cute and I love them so much! mmmm warm toes...
First pair! These are probably going to my mom since they are a bit too big for my tiny toes
Second pair! I looooove these sooooo much! They fit perfectly and are super cute!I also made a hat. With 14 inch long rainbow bunny ears. I haven't taken it off since.Yep. I look reeaally dorky in that pic...

Poppety Swappity

I received my swap package today! I got a bunch of really cute poppet clothes, a poppet, a mini poppet, 2 dollies, a pirate scarf and a bag to hold all of the tasty tasty goodness. I got so spoiled! The poppet swap gallery can be found at http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=227828.0
I cant wait till my partner gets hers! Its oh so very exciting.

This is the awesomely amazing pirate scarf that I got. I couldn't resist wearing it like a ninja mask. Its super bad ass.

Bwoop

Blah!
Here I am watching the shop for my dad. Bored out of my mind. Nothing to do but sit and look at a computer screen. So what should I do? Why update the blog of course!
This would be much more interesting if someone other than my daddy(hi da!) would read this....
So. Updates.
I got a rat! I adopted Pumpkin from the Dubuque Humane Society on the 9th. Hes a sweetheart and loves to sit on my shoulder and sleep in my hoody all day long. Getting Pumpkin means I now have 8 pets. Wow. Thats a lot.
I finally got a space heater for my room! Now my room is always above 75*F which is AWESOME. Persephone seems to be loving it the most. She has been way more active at night since I got it.
I'm almost done with the poppet swap, the send out date is tomorrow! I'm so excited to get a package in the mail thats full of doll clothes from a total stranger.
I called my drivers ed instructor today. I'm soooo close to getting my permit and its about time too! I'm going to have a car before I actually get my drivers license...
I'm done writing now...

Apparently I only get crafty inspirations between the hours of 10pm and 4am. The rest of the day I'm completely brain dead. Its pretty darn ridiculous. I've made some pretty cute stuff though!
I was able to make a pirate outfit for the poppet thats going to my swap partner. I also made a fabulous mess of my room. I have fabric scraps EVERYWHERE! Its insane.
Weee!

Introducing my babies part 2

More babies! This is my second obsession. Small animals. I just cant get enough of the cute and furry little turds. They keep me from going completely crazy.
My first baby was Persephone. Its her birthday tomorrow! Shes going to be a year old! She has the sweetest temperament in the world and loves to run around and eat meal worms.
Next we have Paris(white), Achillies(gray) and Odysseus(black). I got these guys in September with my dad. They are all super friendly and HYPER. Its always entertaining to watch them dig, chew, and run incessantly.
Brynhildr terrifies my brother. Which is very entertaining since she is the sweetest and most loving hamster ever. She has never pooped, peed or bitten anyone ever. She loves to run on her wheel constantly and almost hurts herself from running so much. I think if she were a human she would be a mad scientist...
Hugin and Munin are my teeny tiny roborovski dwarf hamsters. Sadly about a month or so after I got them they had to be separated due to fighting. Oh well. They're still really cute! And soft. And the size of a cotton ball.
And those are all the babies that I have right now. I hope to get a crested gecko sometime, and maybe some rats. Unfortunately I don't have the space for any more animals right now. Soon! Soon I shall have them all! Mwahahahahahahahaha!!
