Not surprising...

Hello!
I made something, not surprisingly.
It is cute and cuddly. Again, not surprising.
I'm not very surprising anyone with this post, am I?

He is a panda. Made of fleece and stuffed with clouds. I'm not sure how I feel about the fleece, I think I like the effect of the fake fur better.

I will certainly be making more of these little guys in the future.

On that note, have a lovely day/afternoon/evening.
Good-bye!

...Yes, we know that you are a panda. Thank you.

Stroll along a hidden river

Hello!

A while ago I mentioned a little yarn shop that I really loved.

This time I remembered to bring my camera.

 Picture overload!

Those were fun to photograph...

The store is called Hidden River Yarn. You can read about it over here.
The address is 4358B Main Street, Philadelphia, PA.

I really recommend you go there and while you're in Manayunk, it's always nice to take a stroll by the canal and through the streets.

I found many stairs into Narnia, Middle Earth, Hogwarts and Camelot, but someone had blocked the passage-way, so I couldn't get through.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Have a nice day!
Bye!

Benedict Otterbatch

Hello!

Now you remember when I said that I had a *slight* obsession with Sherlock BBC? Yes. I still do.

I also said that I wouldn't plague you with the details of my thoughts on the show, but it kind of goes hand in hand with what I did today.

I made a Benedict Otterbatch.

Largely inspired by this picture.

I had to.
I couldn't not make a Benedict Otterbatch.

So I fiddled around with patterns from the book that gave me the bunny featured here and made something that kind of looks like an otter, kind of looks like a bear.

You can tell he isn't a bear though, because of his tail.

In my mind, he's an otter and his name is Benedict.

He is entirely hand made with fake fur (I will never sew real fur, if it puts your mind at ease). I designed the pattern last night but couldn't be bothered to actually sew it. I believe that when you make something, especially a stuffed animal, you should be in the right mindset, and I really wasn't.

So I worked on another project that you will hopefully be seeing very soon (muahaha, cliff-hanger) and sewed all of this today. It was fun, I can't believe that it only took me a few hours.

Pensive Benedict is busy deducing things.

Too much Sherlock.

I promise the next post will be less... fangirl-y.
 
Bye!
