Time for a Recap!

Christmas came and went…

Look some lovely old time peoples on my tree!  (yeah I got tired after making only four…  our tree is kind of bare.)

 

Our many presents

 

All of my hubby’s gifts, most of them made by me^^

Let’s see, there is a cellphone case, slippers, a scarf, a pokemon coin purse, a zombie and a mario coffee cup cozy, hand warmers, a monster pencil case, a boobie magnifying glass case, and a mini hubby (for him to put his glasses on at night).

 

Don’t know if I already said, but my hubby got his visa.  YEAH!  we are going back to the states on February 20th, so we have been busy packing and getting things in order.  We have also been searching for a house.  Hopefully we will have a home to move into when we get there.

 

Other than that, I have been working on crocheting my blanket and doing a little cross stitching.  I opened up an etsy store

where I have recently put up some cross stitch patterns (made by me and my hubby) and as soon as we get back to America I will be starting to sell my cute animal phone straps, dolls, crochet items, and anything else I can conjure up.

 

Well, that’s about it.

Sorry nothing entertaining to report.

Butterflies, Cross Stitch, and Halloween

I haven’t posted anything since a week or two ago.  Been busy working, crocheting, sewing, and creating some cross stitch patterns.  My hubby downloaded a really nifty cross stitch pattern maker program, so I have been messing around with that the last couple of days.  I am horrible at drawing and make my husband edit everything I do, which he is doing right now.  ^^

I finished a set of butterfly phone straps and mailed them to America today.  The post office said it would take 3-4 days.  Shipping was 22,000 won T_T  Quite a lot for four phone straps. 

Recently I have been in a Halloween mood.  Yes, I know Halloween isn’t for like another two months but it is one of my favorite holidays.  This year, because hardly anyone celebrates here in Korea, I am going to have my own little celebration.  It isn’t much of a celebration, but more like a Halloween Crochet-athon.

Starting now I am going to make as many Halloweeny crochet projects as I can up until Halloween.  My first project is already completed.  It is a Coraline doll.  I found a free pattern online, watched the movie a few times to get my groove on and set to work.  She took me about 2 days to complete because -yeah- I had other stuff to do like working and what not.

Here she is.  It is my first amigurumi doll – well besides  Mario – so I know I could probably do better.  Practice makes perfect.

I am now working on Coraline’s black cat.  I have the face completed and should finish it in a few days.

And keeping with the Halloween theme, here are my cross stitch patterns that my hubby helped me make.

I love them and can’t wait to get cross stitching!  Maybe I will sell them or the patterns or both.  ^^

That’s it for now
