Another New Pillow! (Finished 11/17/09)

Yep, did another pillow today! It looks MUCH better live than in the photo... This one is green with a few blue stripes... On both edges and in the middle...

As always, let me know what you think!



EDIT: I have a better picture that I'm putting up on here now! Hopefully that helps!

New Pillow! (Finished 11/14/09)

Yep! I finally finished a new pillow again! This time, I used Lion's Brand® Velvetspun Yarn... In a pale blue color (Bluebell), and really liked the softness of the yarn, though I found it to be a pain to work with in some ways.

Either way, I took the time this morning and this evening to make the pillowcase and the actual pillow. (In between, I was at the LA Paley Center with a couple friends and my godmom for screenings of previous panels about different vampire-related stuff... Angel, True Blood, and Moonlight...)

But anyways, here's the pillow!



As always, let me know what you think!

EDIT:

I've got a better picture again! Here it is!

A (Very) Belated Yarnworks Update

Hey guys... I've still been working on my yarn stuff, just not so much and with less time available to me, I haven't been posting about what I've accomplished recently.

So, here's a quick update:

For my big blanket that I'm working on, I now have 26 or 27 blanket squares completed, and I'm over halfway done with another. When I get a chance, I will take pics of all my new ones, and I'll put them in the blog, backdated to approximately when I finished them.

I'm still working on my pillows and pillowcases... I gave one to Anna Paquin for her birthday, and she loved it. I just finished another pillowcase today, and when I get a chance to (probably Tuesday), I'll add a picture to this post so you can see it.

I'm also working on another new pillowcase for the moment.

For now, school's just started for me again, so I'll take what little time I can, and I will be posting about my yarn stuff again whenever I can. Same goes for regular blog posts, which will probably be more often so that I can use them to my advantage in one of my classes.

I Finished An Awesome Pillow!

This is my latest pillow... And I finished it early today, before I started on my 3+ hour trip to San Diego for Comic-Con! If I really luck out, I'll be able to give it to Anna Paquin (Rogue in X-Men series, currently Sookie Stackhouse on True Blood) while there to celebrate her birthday!

Tell me what you think!

I Finally Finished Laura's Pillow!

It's done! Sure it took a few extra days (I've made more pillowcases, and I'm making them into full pillows next, if anyone is interested in purchasing...) So, here's what the final product looks like! Let me know what you think!





Laura, sweetie, this was made with love for my Simi Sister and Fellow Minion! Hopefully we'll meet up sometime soon!



(I think I'm getting better at this! It's the 5th pillow I've made so far! Woooo!)

Even More New Pillowcases!

Ok, I'm now obsessed with making pillows, but I do the pillowcases first, since it's a really brainless activity, and I can do it while listening to music with the tv on in the background (a "skill" I've gained from my mother, thankyouverymuch!)... Just let me know what you guys think, as always!

More Pillowcases!

So... Instead of finishing Laura's pillow, like I should have been, I've been busy making more pillowcases... Here's a couple new ones, both of which were made in the last couple days! Let me know, as always, what you think!

New Pillowcase....

Hey guys, I've gone back to being creative since I finished this past semester of college. I'm still working on my blanket squares, and am now almost finished with my 22nd one... I'll backdate some posts with pictures again soon. However, I'm more involved in making my travel pillows now, and I'm working on the 5th one right now. So far, I've just barely started, and will continue it later today.

Here's what that new pillowcase looks like so far...






Let me know what you think of it so far!

Mommy-to-be Laura's New Mini-Pillow!

One of my favorite people in the world, Laura, is expecting her first baby, and since I don't live near her, I'm making her a present. So far, half of it is completed, and I will make the actual pillow in a couple days... However, the pillowcase ROCKS! It's a gorgeous black and white (with pastels) pillowcase, and so much cooler in real life than the pictures show it to be... However, take a look and tell me what you think!

Laura, my sweetie, if you read this, let me know what you think of the case! And remember, you need to chat with me so that when it's done, I can send it out to you!


Here it is!

The Fourth Pillow I've Made...

Here's the completed fourth travel/personal pillow I've made... Let me know what you think!




BTW, this one belongs to me! It's sooo cool!


The third pillow was a gift for my second-mommy, Anne. Once I have a picture of her with it, I'll post it so that you guys can see it!

My Second Pillow!

Here's the second pillow I've made... Let me know what you think!





This one now belongs to my grandmother, and she loves it! I'm so glad she does!

My First Home-Made Pillow!

I've decided to start trying something new... So I've started making pillows... Here's the first, hope you like it! Make sure to tell me what you think! (And, should you want to buy one from me, let me know!)
