Yay! I started crocheting an Ichigo about 2 years ago and finally finished it last month! Ichigo is a cousin to the Little Prince in the popular video game, Katamari Damacy. She is still my favorite character 5 sequels later. The catalyst for completing a hibernating UFO (“unfinished object” for all you non crafters), was a request for a magnetic katamari ball. I ended up making one for my daughter too and she needed a character to roll with, so I crocheted Ichigo’s legs, added finishing touches and she was done!
yarn: A mix of Red Heart Super Saver and Caron Simply Soft
Mite! Mite! (look! look!) I made this little guy for a swap. Isn’t he cute? Want one? Email me at kitschkween.diy@gmail.com for arrangements. I think I’ll make my own little army.
I’ve started working with polymer clay, because I wanted to start making my own 3-d charms. At first I thought I was hopeless being that my best work with playdoh is a snake. But here are the little cuties I made:
I received the cutest, yummiest items this week! Here’s what I got from the anime/manga swap: this ADORABLE Maromi pillow from one of my favorite animes, Paranoia Agent
the first issue of Love Hina, Lil’ Slugger’s hat (also from Paranoia Agent), and Hello Kitty and Mimmy bracelets. She also sent me some Pocky, but we ate it all before I took pictues.
Here is what I got from the Panda swap: I nearly screamed when I saw the super cute Gothic Lolita headband with panda ears! (sorry about the blurry picture) She also made a handpainted t-shirt she saw on my Wists. (see my scrolling wist items to your left.) A gameboy sp case for my daughter: a plushie for my son, and some Pucca post-its. I Love it all!!! Thanks to my swap partners!
