Or so I wish.
If I were to narrate how I came to decide to try planting, it will lead to a confusing tale of self serving justifications and whatnot. The fact is, I just wanted to. So I did.
In the beginning, I had this. A fortune plant begged from my cousin, and cactus nicked from my Papa's numerous pots.

Nothing seems to come out as planned. I wanted it to be a bit rounder, but it came out as a square, so I decided to make a dog instead. I actually wanted a cat, but I'm too lazy now to put whiskers on it.

Here's the fluffiness for today. My nephew calls it Patrick just because its pink. Whatever happened to Kirby? And now he's demanding I make a Spongebob too. So I annoy him by calling it Bitu. Fluffiest of em all, so far. The cloth is hard to handle, but it's stiff, and somewhat sturdy, so it's good to use.

One of the reasons why I wanted to make a plushie was because I wanted to give Rei some companions. He's always stuck in his box and he's getting so lonely. I'm not willing to risk damage or discoloration so I couldn't leave him on my bed with Momo-chan and the rest. So he'll have to make do with these little monsters until I feel ( Read more... )

My army is slowly building up. But I seem to be making a plushie every other day only, as compared to my original one-a-day plan. But anyway. My monsters seems to be inclining towards cute and harmless rather than vicous and I'm-a-monster-run-away! type. Honestly, how is a drop going to attack? Water spit?

It took me 30 minute to make this ( Read more... )

Third attempt, and I'm quite happy with this one. I left a bigger allowance along the side, and it's very good for closing the hole. Also, I don't have to worry about the stitch, or the cloth, coming apart when it's manhandled. I spent approximately 50 mins on this, which is definitely a good improvement. The lesser ( Read more... )

My second try. I can't say that there's much of an improvement from the first one, but at least it took less time (1h45m or so) to finish this one. Yeah, it's favoring its right side, but I haven't mastered closing the hole on the side. Mama gave me some stuffing (cotton just isn't enough) so this guy's definitely ( Read more... )

Was thinking that I want to make clothes for Rei, as well as miniature rag dolls to be his companion inside his box, when I realized that I only ever sew close the holes in my clothes sometimes, so making clothes is a little bit too overestimating my backstitch. I don't know why I decided to try my hands on plushies ( Read more... )

Finally, after spending 3 days within the grasp of the PhilPost, I finally got my dear Lukie. 11, almost 12 weeks of waiting, and it was worth every day of it.

I'm naming him Rei Nicolai. Rei means Zero in Japanese. He's patient zero, the origin of a manic desire to collect. Nicolai is a tribute to my Mama (they were ( Read more... )

Got this iPod app wherein I have to take photos everyday and put it in a calendar. This was taken on March 8, 15 mins before 7 o'clock in the morning, outside our gate.

I always regret not being skilled enough in photography to capture all the pretty things I encounter. It can be lack of tools, but seeing photos taken by other people using low ( Read more... )
