Thank you so much! All I can see when I look at her is what's wrong--the ears aren't on straight. The arms aren't, either. Her head is oddly shaped, and the bow isn't quite right. I have a hard time stuffing separate parts with the same amount of stuffing (hence the difference in the arm sizes) and especially with sewing parts on evenly. I'm really gonna start sticking with no-sew patterns, I think.

Even after reading this list you think is wrong with her, I still can’t see it. She’s simply cute and awesome.

I think you can finish your square project by next summer. I know what you mean about having to take a break from it sonetimes. My hands/elbows/shoulders will start bothering me, and I'll have to stop for a bit. Then, sometimes, I just get bored with it, too. But you're making good progress, in my opinion!

I crochet with a death grip on the project (my left hand). It is not conducive to pain-free crocheting, lol. Good luck with your project!

The death grip is real, yo.

Thanks, I’ll update on my progress every now and again.

Any Doctor Who fans here? I made this last night to keep myself busy while my kids hosted a sleepover. "Moisturize me!"

So my mom has a Jeep (I may have included a pic of the cross stitch of one I did for her last Mother's Day--I can't remember, and I'm too lazy to go back and look). Anyway, for some reason, Jeep owners often leave rubber duckies on other Jeep owners' Jeeps while they're out and about. (I have no idea why; I just know they do it.) So, anyway, I was looking for a project I could finish quickly the other night, and I found a duck pattern. I decided I'd make one for her, since she's only gotten one random ducky so far.

I picked sparkly teal yarn because I love sparkle yarn, and teal is her favorite color (also one of my favorite colors, too). I figured, rubber duckies can be any color you want them to be, right? Well, that's all well and good, but I didn't realize my "rubber" ducky would turn out to look like the old Twitter bird, lol.

Oh, well. She liked him when I gave him to her today, anyway, so that turned out fine.

The toes of my roller skates are taking a beating from roller derby. A few team mates recommended paracord crochet guards, so I made these toe guards out of paracord. Crocheting with paracord was not fun, but they fit, they don't slide around and they should last awhile.

Awesome! You did a great job!

Thank you! It's the first time I've free-handed a project and I'm happy with them!

I bet that was not fun at all, lol. But they look really good and should work well. Fantastic job!

That is a great idea! How long have you been doing derby?

Thanks! I'm in training now and have been going at it for about two months.

Very discouraged this evening.

I finally finished the main body of the shrug I've been working on off and on for over a year now. I was afraid I'd mess up sewing the shoulder seams together, but those appear to be ok. The only problem? The fucking thing is too little for me!

I'm so annoyed, and I feel like I've wasted a lot of beautiful yarn for nothing.

That's awesome! I'm always in awe of people who can sculpt/do things with clay. I have no talent for it whatsoever. Great job!

I have done this before and empathize with that frustration! Is there any way to size it up without having to frog it?

I'm honestly not sure. I'll take a look at it later and see if I can figure something out.

Some items I made for my Lovely Domme.

 

[Massacre_]

I sew blankets, often under the supervision of my grandmother so when I start cursing excessively she can nudge me out of the way and look over the machine to make sure it's an operator error (99% of the time it is). It started as a way to make a nice present for my sisters when they were having babies. Then I made them for coworkers and friends of the family for their babies. I've made 5 big blankets (translated as for adults) and I'm about to work on the 6th because I need a new one. Florida isn't fleece friendly if anyone needed to know
I'll upload the finished blanket when I'm done with it. =]

Here's a couple others that I made her...

These are great! (So are the others, but Lit quotes are formatting oddly on my phone today, so I didn't quote that post.) But you've done a fantastic job with all the toys. Your Domme will be proud, I'm sure!

Yay, please do! I'm nosy and want to see, lol.

(I keep having to convince myself not to get into quilting OR into crocheting/knitting blankets, in addition to all the other stuff I do.)

I painted this yesterday.

I was trying to capture my puppy's coloring and I think I did ok.

Once the firing is done I'll know.

 

[ericalauren]

I have really been wanting to paint some rocks and do some other crafty things. However, my chronic pain and fatigue are preventing me from being able to do much. That being said, I finished crocheting a frog stuffie yesterday!

 

[MedicalMuse]

Y’all are so creative!

Thank you BiBunny! 28 days is a long time to be away from my Domme, so I try to make things to take home to her.... She applies them beautifully too! This time out, I'm making her some matched pairs, so she can Florentine me into oblivion when I get home!

Yay, please do! I'm nosy and want to see, lol.

It turned into quite an expensive hobby, I'm not going to lie. I could have bought myself a blanket (2 to be honest) with the money I spent on the fabric. My blankets are very distinctive though so I'm crossing my fingers that no one I know on Facebook is on here because I usually post a pic of my finished projects on there. That might make things a tiny bit awkward!
