Minecraft Cake Plushie

I've never played Minecraft. I just haven't been able to commit any more time to games than I already do.

But it lends itself well to plushies and crafts in general, being all cube like and all. So I think this turned out really well. Made of felt as usual.

Cthulhu Plush

You and the dark one Cthulhu..
Sharing adventures and smiles

Makes me smile every time I look at this. It probably took the least amount of time out of any of the plushies I've made, but I think he's the cutest!

I'm also happier about the finished product more than any other yet.

Dice Bags!

 Now in my etsy shop. There's only a few there at the moment, but there will be more and more appearing over the next couple of weeks!

Want one but don't have or want to create an etsy account? Email me and I can organise something else :)

Donkey Kong Dice Bag

I've started a habit of needing to buy pretty dice. And with that I need a place to keep them. This isn't it. Instead of taking time to make something for myself tonight, I caved and made a dice bag for my boyfriend. At his request it has The Donkey Kong logo on it.

I thought I'd do something a bit different and use a button closure instead of a drawstring. And since my sewing machine is still not fixed, it is hand sewn.

Baby Myr Plushie

So I found a tutorial awhile back on how to make these. And they are just too adorable.

Unfortunately today, I discovered that my much loved sewing machine (which is older than I am) that I pinched from my mum has something wrong with the tension dial, making the stitches quite an eyesore. Me being so unpatient and unable to wait until I get it fixed, I couldn't hold off on making this. So this little one is completely hand sewn. I think I like it better this way though, since I put more effort into it.
Although, this has inspired to make cuter versions of other magic or other card game characters.

Johto League Badge Magnets

Johto League Pokemon badges, in magnet form. Very happy with the result and they're so bright on the fridge. These are so addictive to make and I could have easily spent so many hours making more.

And just because I could...

Power Star Pin Cushion

Just a quick late night project after I realised I don't own a pin cushion. This Mario Power Star is much cuter in real life and it was fun to make as well. I just used scraps of felt that I had lying around after previous projects.

Transformers Door Stop

After I showed some people at work the few things that I had been working on, I was asked to make another door stop for one of the ladies' 5-year-old son. Only this time, it had to be Transformers related. This has two Decepticon faces and two Autobot faces These door stops are really just pieces of felt sewn into a cube with some appliqué on them. As with the Mario cube this one also has the extra cube inside for support.

Question Mark Block Door Stop

My first of hopefully many projects for this blog. A door stop based on the question mark blocks from the Mario series.


The cube is made entierly of felt, the brown is woolen felt and the yellow and black is acrylic felt. Inside is a cube made out of calico filled with uncooked rice. I decided to use the two cubes for extra strength, so down the track I wouldn't be finding bits of rice everywhere.
the design is held on by a ultrahold iron-on adhesive and the edges of the yellow squares are sewn.


I plan to get in the habit of making at least one thing each week or at least every fortnight, and posting it here on a Tuesday or Saturday. For some projects I'll also post a tutorial. I promise they will all somehow be game or anime related.
