Apple

I finished that last poppet and she has been sent off to her new home! I'm sooo happy with the way she turned out and I didn't want to give her up. It's exciting that shes going to a little girl though. I also received from my frog swap partner(and she got her stuff awhile ago). I love everything that I got, she sent some really awesome stuff(2 totes, bracelet, earrings, bobble head tree frog, 2 frog key chains, needle book, tiny stuffie and wrist cuff). I will post what I made later.

So heres the dolly! She told me her name was Apple, the little girl who's getting her might change that though. I cut up a red handkerchief for her dress and headband(brose even gave it his approval!). I think shes perfect, definitely one of my best.

Heres all the frog stuff I got.
and the cute Frog Heaven take out tray that it came in!
I've also been working on a bunch of really small cute stuff for another swap, and a costume for a friend of mine. and I burned my hand today, which really hurt :(

Im in shock

I cant believe it. I won the challenge on craftster. I really wasn't expecting to win. I kinda feel like I'm stealing the prize. Is that normal?
Any-who. I'm almost done with the poppet I'm working on now, I just need to give her hair and a dress. Shes for a personal swap I'm doing and shes going to be the first of my poppets to go to a kid. In return I'm getting a bunch of jewelry, I'm soooo excited about it.
So here she is all naked and hairless. The ears were requested to be longer and droopier like that. They kinda remind me of goat ears...
After I finish her I need to make a mini poppet for a swap I'm in. It will be my first mini! They are so freakin cute and tiny, I love them. They are the perfect size for faeries.

Now I need to stop procrastinating and go make hair! Woo!

Zoo

Theres a total of 12 animals upstairs right now. Its a zoo and Im loving every second of it.
  • 4 Hamsters (Brynhldr, Hugin, Munin and Odin)
  • 3 Gerbils
  • 1 Rat (Pumpkin)
  • 1 hedgy (Persephone)
  • 1 Cat thats trying to starve herself
  • 1 Birdy who squawks if she doesn't get enough attention
  • 1 Fish (WTF is wrong with fish!? they are so weird!)
Other than that Ive been sewing a lot. I finished the dolly I got commissioned to do and finished the doll for the craftster poppet challenge. Both were really pretty but I'm mostly proud of the challenge dolly. Her outfit is super cool. I doubt I will win but its worth a shot anyways (must find out what secret prize is!). Her post is here. I'm too lazy to post a bunch of pics on here right now. Sorry.

Now I have to craft for the froggy swap and make another poppet for a personal swap I'm doing. WOOHOO! and after that I will be making a bunch of dollies to sell. I'm pretty excited about it but also nervous. If all goes well I wont be getting a job for a while and just sell a bunch of dolls and other crafts I make. Yay!

Everybody loves my boobies

After I posted my dear bike mechanic poppet on craftser I got a huge rush of compliments on her boobies. It was crazy. Now I have two requests for personal swaps and a commission! And I'm doing the froggy swap as well. I have lots of craftiness to do now!
Today I'm in Dubuque with my mom and we are going to be going to craft stores later so I can get supplies for all the boobs I need to make. I also have to get animal food. Perse and punkin are both almost out. I hate that when I buy rat food I get a decent sized bag but its only half full! ARGH!
I should probably get some toys for the rat-butt as well....

Anyways. Im at the wellness center right now and Im bored out of my mind. I dont really have anything to do but sit around for the next five hours. Blah. It will all be worth it though, because I get to go shopping. Thats what I need to concentrate on or I will go craaaazzzyyyyy!!

Bike Mechanic Poppet

Shes not completely finished but I wanted to show her off anyways. I made her in honor of my daddy. She is made to be me if I were a bike mechanic. All of her tattoos are ones that I have thought about getting and she still has a few more coming too. When I was painting them on I couldn't resist making a buzzing noise like the real tattoo thingies make. =D

Here she is!
She has such perfect boobies
Here she is with an American Girl Doll shirt and a random skirt that I made just so her butt would be covered
Socks! I love these so much and I wish I had a pair(I did but they were toe socks and my toes are too short for them so now the dolly has some!) and AG doll shoes.
Tools! made out of sculpey clay.
Tattoo that matches my daddies. I'm very proud of this. The little biker dude is even smiling just like dads!Hand, pliers and bike chain bracelet
OMG tiny toes!
Dress that used to be a toe sock! woo!

Boobies!

Frogs!

I signed up for a froggy swap! Im super excited and cant wait to use my dancing frogs fabric! Yay!
I go sleepy now
