Love Bear

I've been on an "embroidering super cute things" kick, apparently. I finished this one up tonight!



Isn't he just adorable? It's been nice to take a break from studying for my board exams (I'm taking my written exam on Tuesday!!!) to just relax & craft a little bit :)

Wanna take this little guy home? He's available at my Etsy for only $12!

Who wants ice cream?

I made this little guy last night & I love him! Like Bridget said, "I get the feeling that he's thinking to himself: "My GOD. I'm DELICIOUS." I figured I'd show him off!



And that little speck you see in the corner was just a little bit of extra thread, it's not there anymore :) I used split stitch, back stitch, & satin stitch.

He's available at my Etsy shop for only $16!

For fuck's sake, man, you're amateur

Hello all! I feel like it's been too long since I had a craft related post, so here's the goods! As some of you may know, I've been doing sections of the Christian Bale rant. If you haven't heard it yet, you live under a rock. Just kidding, you can hear it in all it's glory here. Believe me, if you love the word fuck, then you'll love the rant! This one is one of my personal favorites..

available @ my etsy for $20!

Then this one just had to be done.

available at my etsy for $20!

I've started on another one & hopefully it will be done by tonight! I'm having a hard time finding cool borders so if you guys know of any sites or books I should get, holla!

I tried my hand at stitching fabric onto a onesie. It went...ok. It could've turned out better, but I'm still pleased with it! I should've used my sewing machine, but I didn't, so it ended up with some puckering & bubbles. I still think it's a pretty fucking sweet onesie though! If I had a kid, it would totally be rocking stuff like this. It really doesn't look as crooked in real life :)

available @ my etsy for $15!

Who doesn't love robots? Who doesn't love lovebots? I really liked stitching this one! I used split stitch, back stitch, & satin stitch. LoveBot was even featured on Feeling Stitchy! Pattern by Urban Threads

SOLD!

I even did one of those cool sidewys shots I see! Haha!

Remember those patches I had a few entries back? Well, I took the advice & made them into brooches. Buy some! They's cheap!

available @ my etsy for $3 each!

Yep, this little break has kept me a busy girl! I've really enjoyed being able to craft as much as I have been lately.

On a non craft related note, I got my leg worked on Wednesday. This was a graduation/birthday present :) First session is done! This is my family's coat of arms. A lot of my tattoos are family related. The flowers on my arm(there's pictures on the blog somewhere) each represent a member of my family, and they're their birth month flowers. Back to the family coat of arms...Manu Forti means "With a strong hand". I love it & can't wait to see it finished!

Urban Threads rock my world

So I've been using a lot of Urban Threads patterns lately & I have fallen in love with their designs! I've done a few other embroideries (here, here, & here) with their stuff & they were big hits (they're patterns are so fucking adorable!) & decided to do a few more. I made a couple of patches that I really like! I plan on selling them on Etsy for the cheap cheap but I plan on making a few more things before I list them. Do you guys think they would even sell? I know my taste can sometimes be quite different from other people's but I dunno...




And then I embroidered this cute little hardcore bunny. Upon the advice of Ruby, I think she'll go on a baby onesie. Kind of a shitty picture, but you get the idea...

Isn't she ADORABLE?!




I have several patterns that are just waiting to be stitched up & soon I'll actually have plenty of free time! Wanna know why? I quit my current job and I'll be graduating in a few days! Twelve days to be exact, but hey, who's counting? I'll get a nice little vacation (much needed) before I start my new job. I'll be glad to start a new chapter...it feels like my life has been put on hold for over a year now so I'm totally stoked that it will all be over with soon, I'll have a job I love, working with people I get along with & have something in common with. And I'll have a social life again! Yay!
