Feeling better and back to things

Okay so I know it's been a month (or more) since my last post. Yikes! But I have plenty to talk about. 

So I finished that yoshi for a birthday present. Took a few days longer than I would have liked. But he got done and wrapped up and is in his new home. Kevin is apparently in love with it, which couldn't make me happier. 

Right my inspiration and goal. Left my sketch

Next up was a special request for Bonnie from the 'Five Nights At Freddy's' video game. My friend Liz asked for it and is really excited for him.
For this one I couldn't find a pattern or at least one I liked. This is the first full pattern I've written and I don't intend to do it often. Not a huge fan of writing patterns as I've mentioned before. Although I guess it wasn't so bad.
The biggest pain to figure out was the ears. I had a particular look we were going for. Over all I think things worked out and he looks like the reference picture I have.

Can't wait for him to get to his new home!!

first peak at Bonnie. I was worried about the face a little.

All finished up. We decided to add the tail for cuteness. Good choice.

On to my next order. This one is for my friend Courtney. She asked me a few months back if I could do up a Bender from 'Futurama' and a  Stitch. So I'm on to those. Stitch is easy, I already have a pattern I love for him. He'll probably be done up first for a a bit of a break. But Bender is another story. If she wanted a hat that would be cake to find. The stuffed toy (or amigurumi) on the other hand, not so much. So it's back to the note book for this one as well. Wish me luck! Again its luck he is simple shapes for the most part. 

At the end of January I made red velvet cupcakes for the January birthdays.I never got a chance to take a picture of them frosted an sprinkled. I love our homemade cake recipe. I tried a different homemade frosting after the original didn't turn out. It was super sweet but not bad with the right amount of cake.

Today I finish up a week hanging with Nolan and Burtie again. And another week before my next gig, hanging with the Fairy Dogmothers pack while she visits family. 

On a final personal note, I have been feeling 100% the past week or so. I admit I never thought I'd do yoga but would now recommend it for back pain relief. I am under the belief that it boosted my recovery and put some extra pep in my step. Now I can get back to walks and feel normal again. 

So on to may orders again. Stitch is calling to be worked on.
