Learning a New Skill

A different kind of happy; learning something new! I caved and bought myself this tiny little cheap sewing machine. I have very, very little sewing experience, so it's been a lot of fun trying to figure out a brand new skill! You've got a peek at a project I'm working on at the moment... and those pretty yellow fabrics are destined to be used together in some other project down the line! Now I just need to schedule a day in which I'm actually AT HOME for more then a couple of hours so I can work on them!

Beginning of the Craft Present Catch-Up

So now that the silly season is over and all presents have been unwrapped I can begin to share the stuff that I've been working on for the past couple of months.

To start with, though I'm going to share the finished product from a very late birthday gift for my brother.
He requested I knit him a Sackboy from the video game LittleBigPlanet and then dress him like Link from Legend of Zelda.
And since Zelda is one of my favourite game series of all times, how could I possibly refuse?



Cute, isn't he? I wish I could keep him for myself!
Yarn, buttons, a zipper and a small pile of felt = adorable
I'm still toying about with the idea of making him the shield and sword, but I might hold off on it for now.



D's really pleased with it, and so am I!
You can't really ask for more then that.
