Cellstrap plushie?

Hey everybody,

So, for a while now I have been thinking of doing something different with my plushies. To try and make them more than just another plush that might just sit on a shelf and collect dust. With that thought, I've decided to make plushies for cellphones and keychains. They'll be used and be carried around not just sitting there and looking pretty. I'll still be making cute plushies to cuddle with though so still look out for those.

Anyway, I'm kinda excited because I just bought some cellphone straps yesterday so I can't wait till those get in. So be ready to see some cute tiny plushies being posted.

Thanks again for being here and reading my post.
God Bless and take care!

Octopus my way...

Hey everyone, 

Recently, I've made a new plushie. I got the idea to make this type of plushie after seeing it a lot lately on Pinterest and Esty. It's these adorable octopus that are round and oh so cute that sometimes have mustaches or glasses. I really wanted one so decided to make one for myself.

Of course after the egg/turnip plushie fail, I wasn't so confident that it would turn out so well. Especially since it was again a plushie with more of a 3 dimensional form that I wasn't used to. But, I really wanted an octopus plushie of my own so I went for it.

Before I started, I went around looking for tutorials and I had found this particular one on 
google images. Even though it was in japanese I was able to follow the instruction based on the pictures which was pretty neat.

My cute mistake...

Hey everyone,

I was watching a lot of youtube videos of how to make cute fruit and veggies into plushies and wanted to give it a try. I've been making a lot of like almost 2 dimensional plushies with stuffing, but haven't tried making anything with more form. I had came up with an idea of making a cute egg. It seemed like a safe and easy shape to try. 

Boy was I wrong. Haha

Also, I was tempted to take pictures of the progress for this plushie but I'm glad I didn't. Instead of progress it would have looked like a timeline of epic fail. Lol

Choco Cat Plushie

Hey everyone,

So my cousin came over and she saw that I had made myself the Badtz-Maru Plushie and couldn't believe that I could make Hello Kitty characters. So she asked me if I knew how to make Choco Cat and if I did to make her one. Of course I said I knew how. So for the past day and a half I was making her requested Choco Cat. 

Here's how it came out:

Detail Practice...

Hey everyone,

Recently I've wanted to broaden my skill at hand sewing with more detailing on my plushies. So I looked up some techniques on youtube and found a method called back stitch. I saw how great it was to add really clean and quick lines and loved it.

I really wanted to quickly try using a back stitch on something. So I came up with a sappling-baby- sort-of-leaf plushie that would need the detail.

Here's what it looks like:

My Badtz...

Hello everyone,

For as long as I remember, when my mom would buy me plush of Hello Kitty I would never get the one I really wanted. My favorite was Badtz-Maru. I just loved his attitude and I don't care face. I still love him more than any of the other characters. Just the other day I was thinking why not make myself one since i kinda have this handmade thing down. And so I did...
Here's how my very own Badtz-Maru came to be:

Name change...

Hey everyone,

Just decided to make some changes to the blog. I put a new title and changed the description. Felt like this related more to what I was posting on the blog than what I had before. Hopefully everyone likes it because I certainly like the change.

Also heads up I will be posting some more plushies that I made, so look out for those.

Thanks for being here and reading my posts.

God Bless!!
