Needle felting!

I always wanted to try needle felting because it looks so easy and quick, but it is not that easy. First you need to be patient and focused or you can loose a finger (well kind of). I purchased a basic kit in an Asian art fair in San Francisco that included felt, needles, a sponge and instructions. The guy who was selling them has an online store here. 

Here are my creations:

Mom and little owl

buddies

Owls!

Owl I made using socks!

 I found out that I have certain obsessions that come and go! My new obsession is with owls. I always liked owls, but now that they are back in fashion again I like them even more!

Making this little guy was so easy anyone can do it!

This is a painting in oils I made using an old Nordstrom card as inspiration!

My next projects are more owls using pastels and maybe an owl plush toy!!!

Apple Amigurumi!

This is not your regular apple!

Another toy I made this month is this delicious apple that would look adorable anywhere in your kitchen! It comes with a little gift inside:

Oh no, a tiny worm!

Don't worry this worm is harmless and wants to be your friend!

Yummy yummy!

(Esta es otra de mis creaciones hechas a crochet!)

Mommy Turtle!

This is one of my favorite Amigurumi books. It has the cutest crochet projects and they are not hard to make at all.

 I just finished this lovely mommy turtle and her babies.

Pregnant turtle!

Here comes the first egg!

And one more!

The babies!

The baby turtles love mommy!

Aren't they cute??

Since I work with children I thought I can utilize this turtle with them and talk about pregnancy issues, parenting, etc. I hope it works. I can't wait to see the kid's faces when they see it!


(Durante mis vacaciones estuve tejiendo y me compre este libro que tiene bonitos projectos. Empece con la tortuga y este fue el resultado. esta bonirta no?)

One of my babies gone!

Moochy Bunny

I am so happy! I just sold one of my dolls yay yay and yay!
It is just nice to know that someone out there likes my dolls and wants to buy one.
My collection is called Moochy and I sell them on Etsy. The name is a long story that I'll share later.
I decided to make more of these dolls during the Christmas break, especially more like the one I sold because she seems to be popular!
I cant wait to start sewing....oh and maybe a new sawing machine?? yes?

Bye bye baby!

(Acabo de vender uno de mis conejitos de mi collection llamada Moochy. Me da alegria saber que hay gente que le gusta lo que hago y que quiere comprar uno. Decidi hacer mas de estos durante mi vacacion y quiza hasta me compre una maquina de coser de verdad :)

Amigurumi {^-^}

I love Japanese art and they have the best and cutest stuffed dolls. Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.
This year during summer I bought an Amigurumi book with pictures and patterns of dolls you can make. I made three of them and they are adorable. I could not find the eyes for these dolls in any craft store, so I made them using bottoms. I try to sell them online at Etsy.com, but my selling skills suck…..so they are seated on my desk, and I still have not decided what to do with them……three more creatures for my collection……..sorry Marco!
