You will ALWAYS see me crocheting some cute little thing. Here is my Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask doll ^_^

OH. MY. GOD. MOST ADORABLE THING EVAR. *squeals*

I want one sooo bad now!! >w<

Adorable! What are the steps for a craft like this? It looks complicated.

Ahh That is so cool! I love it , it is adorable!

Wow those are so cute!!

Those are really cute!

Thanks guys! I love how everyone understands my need for an SM plush lol.

Sailor Venus: Well, I could write a whole wall about the steps for this craft so I'll try to condense it a bit.

---Mini wall ahead---
1: You'll first need a crochet hook (size G for most cases), yarn (worsted weight and cotton or acrylic because it doesn't stretch), a yarn needle, stuffing, and scissors.

2: You'll need to learn the basic stitches of crochet. These stitches are the slip knot, chain stitch, single crochet, increase, and decrease. Learning a proper way to hold your yarn may help to make your stitches more consistent. All this took me about 2 weeks to learn, but once you master each stitch you can make pretty much anything. I learned all this from youtube btw lol.

3. A crochet stuffed animal/toy is called an amigurumi. You'll want to learn how to start off an amigurumi. I start off using an adjustable ring because it's the easiest way in my opinion. Check out WireMySoul on youtube. Her amigurumi cherry tutorial is what I used to make my first amigurumi ever.

4. You may be able to design your own patterns later, but there are many already out there. The trick is to know how to read the patterns which are usually all in short hand. Basics will be chain= ch, single crochet= sc, and increase=inc. Decreases are written many different ways. Most patterns will tell you in the beginning how they write it.

That's pretty much all you need to know. It may seem like a lot at first, but if you can get these steps down, you can make ANYTHING. Well, plush version of anything anyways lol.

I wasn't sure if I could post things that weren't Sailor Moon related, but now that I know I can here's a few more. In spoilers because it's image heavy.

Spoiler:

I have a lot more, but I'll save those for another post. There's a lot going on here already lol. Hope you all enjoy!

Woman you should sell these! I think they would be a huge hit!! Super cute!

Did not see that hehe. I was editing my last post because I couldn't use codes on my other pc for some reason. Thanks, Lady Galaxia ^^.

I actually do sell some of my amigurumi, but only commissions right now because sometimes I have to contact the pattern creator to ask for permission to sell finished products (just in case!).

I'd like to set up an etsy shop someday but it's my goal to have 10 patterns that I've created before I set one up. I've only got 5 so far.

I want one so bad. How much do you usually charge for commissions?

THESE ARE SO CUTE!!!

And I can't believe you learned how to do it all off of youtube! It makes me want to give it a go! How amazingly cool you are to create your own christmas presents!

Small Lady: It really depends on the amount of work put into it. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask are smaller (6-7 inches), but I'd charge $35 each just because of the small details.

Kyralih: Thanks! You definitely should. It's a fun and inexpensive craft. I actually learned this last year because I was always broke for Christmas, and I wanted to give nice presents that I really put effort into for once.

Photos for the day lol.

^_^

Just so cute! ^_^

Girl, you should DEFINITELY open up an Etsy!!!

I will someday!

Ok last update for this until I finish what I've been working on.

Tiny Penguin. Present for a friend of mine.


Muno for the BF


JigglyPuff


Metroid


Enjoy! ^^

The Sailor Moon, Penguin, and Jigglypuff are cute.
I especially love Tuxedo Mask.

Thank you!

So I finished that amigurumi I said I was working on.


I also said I would post a bead sprite or 2. Remember those little beads you put on a peg board and then iron together with parchment paper? Welll...


I forgot which game this is from. I made him for my other Tuxedo Mask obsessed friend. I'm not very good at taking pictures of these ><.

Here is another one!

Those are cute! I think that Tuxedo Mask is from one of the Sailor Moon puzzle games. I have a Luna and Artemis that I got someone to make for me. I love the Scott Pilgrim one btw.

I'm so in love with your stuff! And how cute is the Tuxedo Mask!!!!

Woo! How was your holidays everyone?

Haven't posted any crafts in here lately so here we go!

Chubby Panda that I made for my brother for Christmas:


Turtles that I made for my cousins. Christmas present again:


Bunny that I made for my room mate at CSUB...why I decided to go there for a year I'll never know lol.


Thinking about bunnies with a top hat and crecent moon. Hmm...

Hope you enjoy ^^

OMG did you make these?
They're so adorable!!
You're really talented

I have always wanted to make these. Oh gosh, I am so envious of you and the talent. I too want one of these! Would you accept commissions for characters of an anime/manga other than Sailor Moon? Although I must say, I am really tempted for an Usagi one! I just adore these so much but even more so the perfect rendering and skill that you have.

Alala: Yes, I made these ^^. Thanks for the compliment!

Sailor Jupiter: Sorry for the late reply, I've had the flu up until New Years and have been out of the house since I got better. Right now I'm only accepting commissions for amigurumi that I've made before and only with permission from pattern creators. I've done a few commissions using patterns people have found but again with permission from pattern makers.

My goal is to become confident enough to accept commissions of any kind (using my own patterns) by summer. For the most part, I think I can make most things on my own right now, but there are many techniques I'd love to learn to make my finished objects cleaner and more durable.

Thanks so much for the compliment, too! I try very hard to make them as nice as possible so it's always nice when someone gives kind words ^^

Those are just so awesome!

If you can make a crochet Mew, I will love you forever.

I'll get that done sometime in February! ^^ I feel like presents will never be over for me, but it's my goal to get most of my favorite pattern creator's amigurumi done, and she has a mew pattern.

Ok, I know I haven't been on in awhile, but I have been incredibly busy. Bdays/anniversaries/craft convention/school/etc.

I do have lots of pictures for you guys though ^^

Again, in spoilers because there are A LOT of pics today.

Spoiler:

Whew! I am so behind lol ><. I know I said I'd make a Mew, and I definitely will, but I'm now taking part in a pokemon challenge. Mew isn't part of the first 15. Anyways, Hope you enjoy!

OH MY GOD

I THINK MY HEART JUST EXPLODED INTO RAINBOWS AND GLITTER!!

These are adorable!!!

I like rainbows and glitter o.o And thanks! I JUST finished one I've been working on forever. I'll post that in a bit, too!

CLARA! Oh my god, that little Clara is so adorable!! ; w;
