Nyjacky's Veigar plush

I can't believe I spent 10 hours straight (with help from my mom) working on this plush and never posted it >.< I made this for MLG Raleigh for Nyjacky's birthday. He was very excited about it and I was able to get my picture with the entire Curse team and he posted a picture of me, him and Veigar on the Curse facebook!

Black Butler Felties

I've been in California for the past week (yay!). I've been to Comic Con, the zoo and the beach with Hunter. Now that he's gone back home I have been a bit bored so I decided to make something. This is the product of a day of boredom haha. I made a chibi Pluto, Grell Sutcliff, and Undertaker. They didn't turn out quite as good as I wanted them to but I think they still turned out pretty cute -^_^-. Grell just needs a tiny ribbon around his neck which I will pick up next time I'm at a craft store. I'm planning on making a bigger Grell which will be easier to work with. My fingers are killing me from cutting out tiny pieces of felt and trying to carefully make faces. I also want to make a burlap sack Sebastian doll to go with my (far in the future) Grell cosplay but that won't be till I'm back home and have access to a sewing machine again. I miss sewing and making things so much! I would love to have at least 2-3 projects a week, but alas, work comes first. Enjoy their tiny cuteness and I hope to have more soon! (Suggestions for future projects always welcome!).

 Grell is my favorite character and I think he turned out the best

Poor Pluto doesn't have a Sebastian to follow around yet

Fact Bat

Recently I have been playing with polymer clay and I decided to make my brother a present while he was out of town visiting family. I made the Fact Bat from Rosario + Vampire. He flies around covering up boob shots and giving facts about fights and events. Most of the time he is pretty adorable but can get annoying haha. It took me a few days to make him (only because I didn't have time to make him in one sitting) but in all only took about 3 hours to make and paint. The wings were the hardest part because I didn't want to make them too flimsy but also not too bulky. I am very happy with how he turned out and my brother was pleasantly surprised to find this little guy hanging on his wall when he got home. I am trying to decide whether to add him to my Etsy shop because he is kind of fragile I would just have to stay on the wall and not used as a necklace or key chain. 

More Plushies

Since I'm out of school and only have a part time job I've had a lot of time on my hands so I've been making stuff. Today I made a couple new plushies which I will be adding to my Etsy. It has not gotten a lot of traffic so I'm hoping if I add more stuff it will become more popular. I will adding more items this week I'm sure so  be sure to check back and spread the word about my shop! ^_^

Overlord Earings

I have been wanting to make some little clay figures for a while now but have not had time. I decided to start with something kind of easy today. I did not have any gloves so sadly they did not turn out as nice as they could have so these will be my practice set. I got the idea from a StarCraft commentator named Soe who is also a wonderful artist. I used Sculpey and jewelry findings to make the cute dangly legs ^_^. I hope to have more soon as well as in my Etsy for sale!

Purses

I have been looking for a new purse for a long time now. I'm not a big accessory girl. I buy a purse and use it till it falls apart basically. Since I was unable to find a purse I liked for a descent price I decided to make one. I enjoyed it so much that I made another one as well as a little zippered clutch to match it. I am going to make several more and put them on my Etsy(link to my shop) to try to make some college money. Enjoy ^_^

Happy Birthday to me!

 Thursday was my birthday! I spent it in Greenville with my SAGA friends. We went to Chico's Mexican restaurant and I made a cake. I'm not very proud of this cake but considering I only had time to work on it in between classes and only had an hour to put all the fondant and decorations on it I don't think it turned out that bad. The pipping just got kind of sloppy since I was rushing >.< But everyone still liked it and it tasted good which is, of course, what everyone really cares about! My friends threw me a great party with trick candles that almost burned my hands off lol. After dinner we played Mario Party on the Wii (since I don't play Wii I naturally sucked). Over all a great night, I am very blessed to have such good friends. The birthday fun continues tonight! I will post that later on :) Enjoy the pictures.

The Hunger Games Cake

My friend's birthday was this week and so we are celebrating it today! This year I made her a Hunger Games cake. I read the books over the summer and loved them. I'm not sure if I'll go see the movie though...The movies tend to ruin the books for me. Anyway, the cake is chocolate with vanilla buttercream and the mockingjay is fondant. I can't wait to give it to her tonight at her party. Happy Birthday Rachel! <3

Teapot Cake

For my mom's birthday this year I made her a teapot cake! It was a perfect size for just the family and pretty quick to put together. Working with gum paste would have made it easier since then the spout would have stood on its own but I think it still turned out pretty cute. Yellow cake with vanilla/almond icing and fondant decorations. Since it's the birthday month for all my friends and family (it feels like) I'll be having at least 2 more cakes up soon :)

My Valentine's Day

I had a wonderful Valentine's Day with my amazing boy friend. I made him dinner and he made some delicious Italian bread and bought a bottle of Shingleback wine (which is named after a species of Blue Tongue Skink ^_^). Even though I'm not a big wine fan I thought it was pretty good especially with the creamy chicken and vegetable pasta I made. Very rich but very good.

 For dessert I found this amazing idea with strawberries and chocolate cupcakes. They turned out great but the alcohol took quite a while to burn and made the strawberry taste kind of gross and burnt. The effect was still awesome.

We exchanged presents (and Hunter spoiled me as always with a beautiful amethyst heart necklace) and watched Stranger Than Fiction. Thank you so much for an amazing evening Hunter <3

Valentine's Weekend!

Since Valentine's days always seems to fall in the middle of the week, Hunter and I are having ours Saturday. I made him some tasty little heart cookies as a present. They turned out really cute but the vanilla dough was a pain to pipe and my hand was really sore after. I got the recipe from this great blog. I will have more pictures after tomorrow of our V-day dinner :3

Folklore Zomibe

I made another zombie feltie today. This one is going to be a present for my mom (hope she doesn't read this before she gets it haha). I really like how she turned out but she was a pain to make >.< Her hair was the worst because those strands did not want to stay together. I hope to make some more soon. Enjoy!

Veggie Pizza

I received a new baking book from a friend when I was working at the zoo. I just now have had a chance to try some of the recipes out. I have made 2 desserts and 1 savory dish from my The Baking Bible. Last night I made a veggie pizza and it turned out delicious! I love this book except for the fact that it is made for Europeans with the measurements and the wording. I am not used to graham crackers being called "sweet biscuits" haha. I will try to have more pictures soon!
