and... he's done!

     Whew! (*wipes forehead with back of hand*) The big brown bunny is now complete and all stitched up. I'm quite fond of him actually. And... I have a totally new found respect for all the toy makers of the world. I really think you can't comprehend how much work goes into making something until you try making something like it yourself. (*salutes all the toy makers*)

     See... his name is Julius. Well, I suppose it's time to start my next plushie. It's gonna be a small wool one. I'm thinking... something to do with food. Something sweet perhaps in pinks and browns....
Until next time, JSyv

Almost Done...

    
     Well, I seem to have underestimated how long it would take to make this HuGe rabbit! I got the bits cut out and stitched up the edges (thank you sewing machine!!). I'd say this little guy is about half way done at this point. Today I need to stitch up his sides, add his eyes, and stuff him.
     Last night I learned about 'darts' in a piece of fabric. They make things lie flat. They look pretty cool too! Sewing is a whole 'nother language, apparently.
     AH! I just realized I haven't had coffee yet. Time to slink off and pour a cup before I topple over. Then... it's off to sewing land!
     Until next time, ~JSyv

My first post!

Hey there!
Well, this is my first blog post. As if you can't tell, I'm a newbie. Hmm... let's keep this first one short and sweet. First things first, I need to figure this blogging thing out! I hope to make this an interesting page where you can learn more about me and my art. ... that's all I can think of for now. ♥ ~JSyv
