Wow, I haven't posted here in ages! I do apologize to my followers. Life has just been crazy.

I will be transferring my posts from the Geekgurumi blog here now. That blog was a failure...wha, wha, wha. I apologize for the spam in advance.

Pokeball

And last but not least, I made this Pokeball for my son. He took it to school and I ended up making five more. Sold those for $3 each. Now I'm learning how to make Pikachu to go along with the pokeball.

Ollie Owl

Then I made this owl. I followed a simple pattern and ended up adding what my hubby called the "eyebrows", haha.

Hedgie

Next I made a hedgehog. HE was too much fun to make! The "prickly back" was a challenge though. It took me quite a while to do the stitches because I went in rows and did a stitch, chain, skip, stitch ALL the way from the bottom of his butt to the top of his head.

Just a quick update on what I've made in the time I've been away.

First I made a "goth girl". She was inspired by a girl I saw at Disneyland when we went last month. She took me three days to finish, mostly because of the hair. I don't know how I found the patience to do this, but every single strand was cut in lengths of 24" and the folded in half and passed through each stitch. It was torture, but the outcome was perfect.

Here's a closer look at her face,

clothes,

and boots with frilly socks.

Finally...an update!

Hello y'all! Just updating on what I made while I was offline. Here is a CUTE teddy bear hat I made for the daughter of a dear friend. She sent me $ to help with my little problem and I just can't accept money like that...I have to feel I earned it so I made this hat for her daughter. I absolutely LOVE this pattern and I'm so glad I practiced and practiced to make it awesome! Not to toot my own horn but DANG...TOOT TOOT! LOL! If interested in one for your daughter or son...contact me. I sell these for $25 I make them with a flower for the girls and a start for the boys. The boys one can also be plain for $20. You pick the colors (2).

I also made this Hello Kitty hat for my Lizzie. Actually I had made it for the daughter of another friend...but since Lizzie started crying...well...I just had to make another for my friend. ;) I know her daughter loves Hello Kitty so why not right? Now I'll just have to finish my cards from her swap so I can send it off...lol. Hope she likes!

Next and that'll be it for now is Sock Monkey Jack...my new buddy! This monkey is always with me...in bed...on my desk...when I sit on the couch! Awwww! He is a bit naughty though...you wouldn't believe the things that come out his mouth on Twitter! :O Yes...he has his own Twitter. But since he's grounded...he hasn't updated...lol. Can you believe I came up with this pattern from an existing pattern but for a smaller version? Yeah...and I'm still considered a beginning with my few months under my belt. LOL! I'll be offering up this pattern to the first 5 people who contact me that wants it...after that I'll be selling it for $3.

Ok peeps! I'll update once again soon! Right now I'm working on a few sock monkeys for sale...yikes! They measure approx. 12 inches and I sell them for $20 if you're interested. ;) If you are...just holla! My email is GabrielaArriaza at msn dot com I can do custom colors (3).
