Halloween Prep!

My pre-halloween projects!! SOCK SKELETONS! these were super fun and really simple. Cheap as chips as well. $12 for 24 socks! 2 socks a skeleton, easy!

with creepier lighting..... ooowwwwwwww

Vikings!!

I just can't stop making these little guys, I just love them!!




This one is with a braided felt beard, I'm thinking of trying with three braids for the next one. Sheild on this one is a TRIUMPH!!

T-REX!!!

I have some vikings made and a Halloween treat! But first... back to the Jurassic! Dinosaur

Black Beared Viking

Toady's project was a new viking!! This weekend was a good one for sewing.

I'm really happy with the beard, the pictures don't show it - but the beard is double layers. I picked up the charcoal felt and it made a fabulous belt. Also...puffy shield. YES!

This is for my co-worker, Lena!

IRONMAN!!!

Super fun Ironman. There is too much detail to get him perfect, but this was pretty good! One of my crafting peeps Celesete had the bead for his chest and that was the piece de resistance!

This one was by request for Courtney.


Little dog is not sure what to do! ha!

Not for Shooting!

This is a gift for Scotty, his birthday is this weekend. I thought...what single, gun loving, dude can't use a nice throw pillow for his sofa??

I bought the pillow filler($6.55), Sew on snaps(4/$2.99 -used 2) and 1 yard of off-white broadcloth ($1.99/y) at Hobby Lobby.

I made a diaper kind of pillow case - the material is doubled. Stitched closed the one end, added the snaps to the top flap. More like an envelope I suppose. Then eyeballed and cut out the felt target ($0.25). Sewed it in place with some black thread, stuffed the pillow in ... Done.

I do love these kinds of gifts, about $10 of materials for this. Not too shabby, and really I enjoyed the hell out of making it. Best of all. He is going to LOVE it.

Linky Fun!!

posted my Pegasus onto one of my fav craft sites.... Craftaholics Anonymous!

FUN!! I can not wait to get through some of these others that posted.

Viking

now with yarn beards!

Pegasus

Well...I really wanted more detail on the wings - but everything that I tired looked ... not right. So I just sewed them on and will come back to it... maybe! Other than that - I think he is fabulous!

I give you ....Pegasus!

Athena

Wise and Mighty Athena!

This one was for Celeste as well - Owl on her shield and I love how the helmet came out on her. These gods are just so much fun to make.

I do keep forgetting to take photos of the backs/sides. Damn it... must remember before they go to their new homes.

Kinda looks like she is winking in this one! teehee
