Dear Internet,

I am tired of x-posting.

GO READ MY LIVEJOURNAL.



Occasionally in the future I may post super important things here, but for rambling and miscellany, clicky above for the old el-jay.

I just really can't get into the blogger format - livejournal is so much easier to use and I ♥ the community features so much.

anyway.

Hello!

Today I thought I would take a break from my regularly-scheduled MakingStuff, and just make something for Me me ME. And i i i wanted an elephant! So today I made an elephant.

I used the pattern for Peanut from Joelle Hoverson's "Last-Minuted Patchwork and Quilted Gifts" book, which was pretty easy - my only wish was that there were more photos of what you were making. But I think I did ok. Here is my elephant:



elephant butt!

And this is where he lives now ^, in a nice corner of my art studio.

I made him out of plain muslin, because 1) that's what i like to make things out of, it's clean and simple and 2) i have never made a fabric/sewn plush anything before, and I wasn't sure if I could do it - so muslin seemed better than getting more costly material.

Anywho I'm happy with my little elephant. Now I am going to go make some matcha and hang out.

she makes things with her hands


So, today i decided that doing an aceo painting everyday is totally nutso, since if i did i wouldnt be able to focus hardcore on things i need to, like today: embroidery and quilting. The embroidery right now is pretty important, which you will discover why later this week. And the quilting is for a class i'm taking. and, i'm srsly considering enrolling (tomorrow) in a class at the local college tues/thurs nights. SO. don't go anywhere, my little fingers are still making things for you. that's all i want to do.
