Rainbow dash begins

So after putting twilight sparkle up for adoption on both etsy and ebay I was surprised that with over 70 views and 5 watchers that lil twilight was bought off of etsy, i actually prefer etsy since it's a buy now kinda thing so there's not the pounding heart up at 2:30am hoping you win the bid. So upon insistance from my mlp fan ive decided to make them all, up next is rainbow dash.
Reference picture sorry for the funny rainbow i took a pic of my computer screen seems appropriate for rainbow dash though!
 The pattern is my own, Im still tweaking to  figure out what i like. Twilight sparkle's nose wasnt really seen but i absolutely LOVED her cutie mark amazing what time and redo over and over will accomplish not overly sure what i have in store for rainbows though. Suggestions? Embroidery(see twilight sparkle post) or beading? maybe felt cloud and embroidered or beaded rainbow?

 WINGS!! Im actually excited about this part i like how they look but may tweak and redo never know till the mind makes up the mind lol.
Got the hair cut(probably the part that takes the longest! So far so good will post finished pics. What's the next pony i should start?

(I am in no way affiliated with hasbro or the hub and/or MLP brand I am just the mother of a huge fan and this is my interpretation of a much loved character)

PS I would suggest people to watch I love that these remade ponies cannot fix things with hugs and bubble gum dreams, they've really made each character have a personality and for children the lessons are outstanding.

FarfallaDesignStudio

So just awhile ago i bought a PDF from a wonderful shop called FarfallaDesignStudio on etsy talk about a head turner there are over 200 items in this shop, below are just a couple samples! It's stuffed with beautiful clothing patterns from early 1900s through 1980s which are simply divine! This shop also contains vintage items, childrens clothing, toy patterns, Lisa's shop is full of vintage goodness!! The best part that i found was Lisa who was simply lovely to buy from, while also being wonderful conversation, a true tribute to etsy sellers. A must see patterns combined with the most divine seller all at a lil shop called FarfallaDesignsStudio.
(All photo's are property of FarfallaDesignStudio ive only used them to show you what treasure's are in her store)

Boredom and Curtains


So this is how it happened, I had to go downstairs to the basement to do laundry(im not the only person that dreads laundry am i??) when i tripped over an old set of curtain's made of a coarse material while an idea as what to do with these curtains i spotted a piece of foam(i have no idea where it came from things "appear" in our basement since it spans the length of the house i havent the slightest what is down there) So upon seeing these two things and because i have way to many pincusions i decided to make a big pincusion that would hold all the needles while keeping them somewhat seperated. Here is what i came up with. I used some buttons i got off ebay for color and the size reminded me of a package so its a button stamp and looked a bit ug so i split it up with ribbon from a very lovely woman whom upon stopping at her yardsale sold me a decent sized box of ribbon buttons mouse thing-a-ma-jigs over all many odds and ends for 3.00!! I was so happy i about cleaned her out until my husband gave me the look. For anyone in a relationship you know the look(yes even pets can do this)! And the funny snowflake thing is..............an earring yep i have a bunch of "junk" jewelry that i love to find new projects for. I think it's pretty good for literally tripping and whoa-La idea.
