Static White's Stitchery

Well I got a little behind but not really. Maybe by a day. I unfortunately forgot to snap a pic of a recent item before I sent it off so I'll just have to make up for it in the next few days, right? Right. Anywho here's the latest batch of stitchy goodness...

Top row: Creepy Carnie Conversations, Dusty Catacombs, Vampire Kisses
Mid L: Hey Little Sister v2
Bottom L & R: The Roses are Red Red Red, Tumbling Cats

First, here is the full picture of Day 172 & 173...

Special promo for my friend, and awesome artist, Connie Faye. She will be at GenCon Aug 15th-18th with tons of art for your buying pleasure and these limited edition promos. There's only a handful of these Bookmarks so be sure to stop by her table early if you're going!

So, I have been crazy busy cleaning up the house for a weekend guest, sewing, swapping, and ironing out some custom work. Which explains the lack of posts these past few days. But, enough about that, here are my latest hand stitchings:

Day 174

 

Shooting Star Bookmark. I actually finished two but one got packed away before I remember to take a pic.

Day 175

  

Frankenstein Heart Bookmarks.

Day 176

 

Black Heart Bookmark & Love Brains Bookmark. Not so sure about the Love Brains Bookmark but I can't put my finger on what I don't like at the moment. Still too busy to stress over it right now. I'll come back to it. All the other, except the Locket ones, will be listed soon!

So I spent part of last night and then this morning finishing this batch of newness.

All I can show right now is the pretty hand cut Satin Ribbon because it's a surprise. I've got my fingers crossed they'll go over well.  I'll post the full pic when they've made it to their destination.

Too sleepy (yay!) for witty banter, so to you I say, goodnight.

Getting back into the swing of things slowly but surely. Just because I haven't posted doesn't mean I haven't created!

Day 138
A Grumpy Neko

 

Day 139
A loaf of bread from a different recipe than the last one.

 

Obviously it is delicious because half of it was gone before I remembered to take a pic.
Protip: Microwaves double as a decent bread box if you don't have one.

Day 140
A cotton face mask for when I have to deal with stinky things like cat boxes or bug spray.

 

Day 141
Another Grumpy Neko! This one is to sponsor a giveaway by Starrlight Jewelry -&- Sanctuary. Details as soon as they're available.

 

Day 142
And, last but not least, I am finally giving in and drafting a bodice sloper (a template to work off of) in my current size. I'm tired of looking at pretty dresses I can't afford or that are way too small for my curvy self.

 

This is the bodice back piece. The front piece will be coming along shortly. And, I'll need to redraft a circle skirt too but that's the easiest of the bunch.

Alright, well, a short sleep is in order and then it's back to work for this batling! I'll be making french toast with the homemade bread and then I've got that drafting to finish.

Because of the giveaway I got a bit behind on 365 posts but not on creating!

 

This is Nyateshi, an angel cat who got the heavenly boot for his unseemly behavior towards females. Naughty Nyateshi! As you can see he even misplaced his halo.

 

I also finished up the second winners Nyanpire and made another for good measure.

If you don't know the anime, just search for Nyanpire. It's ridiculously cute.

Oh, did I not mention that if I got over 100 entries I'd make another Nyanpire? I guess it was just one of those things that came up in my brain but never made it past my finger tips. It just makes it that much more of a surprise, right? Right. So I had random.org chose a second winner, too! Yay!

Much thanks to everyone that entered and spread the word. We'll have to do this again sometime real soon. Leave a comment about what you'd maybe like to see in the next giveaway. I'm always happy to hear suggestions.

Where have I been? In a land far, far away. No, not really. I had a job interview and guests which combined to throw me off my (creative) game for a hot minute. But, I'm back on track and I have a stack of pretties to prove it!

There are nine reversible headbands on the left and two fabric origami on the right. I have three new fabric combos for the headbands but you're just going to have to wait for the individual pics to see them. The rest are remakes of sold out combos, and just as spooky cute, of course.

As for the fabric origami, they are folded just as if it were paper. No stitches! I love how they turned out.

Well, it's finally time for some shut eye. I need my rest since I've got a cheesecake to bake tomorrow and I might possibly be seeing Star Trek at the IMAX (squee!).

Tonight was a chili night so I made cornbread to go with it. With my edible contribution done I then stitched up this little cutie...

Another Night Owl! I'll hopefully have better pics soon. The color is not quite right, the dark red is heathered with black, and there too much flash but you get the idea. I still need to embroider the chest feathers but I think I'll do that tomorrow. I am sleepy!

I might even keep this one for myself. xx ~Static

So I may have fallen asleep before posting my 365. Twice. Oopsie!

Here are not one but 3 Grumpy Nekos --the center one is from Day 108 but it looks so cute with it's clones I had to included it again-- and an origami lotus.

These will be listed sometime this week along with the Halloween Batling.

xx ~Static

One more little detour before diving into the next chibi adventure.

Hmm, This Grumpy Neko doesn't seem real pleased with the prospect of more clones. Well, too bad, Grumpy Neko! You can say "no" all you want but It's gonna happen.

Side note: Bet you didn't know that it takes 13 hand cut, and hand sewn, pieces to make each one. Yup. 17 parts total, if you include the beads, ribbon loop and ball chain.

xx ~Static

I'm feeling a little Halloween-y today so I stitched up an Orange Batling with sparkly Black wings and Golden Yellow glass eyes.

This one's got a bit of an underbite but it can still nibble your fingers and toes just fine! Not really. Or, could it?

xx ~Static

Here's that sleepy, little, pink-eyed Owl's brother.

He's definitely not your typical Night Owl, he doesn't mind being woken up as long as he gets to go back to sleep shortly there after. Or, if you give him cake. He really likes chocolate cake.

xx ~Static

I took a wee break from chibi making and stitched up this little Owl.

She looks a bit sleepy, maybe even a little hung over? And, I just realized in looking at the picture again that I forgot to embroider her belly feathers. Well, I'll just have to fix that along with finishing her brother. Then it's back to chibi-ness for me!

xx ~Static

Here is an owl, he is not a morning person.

I'll probably be posting a random item here or there for the next few days because I'm currently working on a custom piece that can not yet be reveal.

xx ~Static

It's alive! Okay, not really, but it is finished. May I present to you chibi Jonny.

 

Now to finish up his buddy Vic.

I'm pretty tired so this post is short and sweet. See you on the flip side.

xx ~Static

So, not ever day is perfect and I sometimes make mistakes. Thankfully, I caught this one little mistake before I finished the face. Can you see it?

 

The correct (second) head is on the right. I had the one on the left fully stuffed, sewn on and everything! Then I realized his chin was "skin" when he's supposed to have one of those goatee/beard sort of things going on. *Facepalm* So, off with his head and a new one was made.

He will be finished tomorrow! Until then, here is an origami rooster.

After attacking my stove in a manic bout of Spring cleaning I made headway on the two chibis. Amazing what a little determined scrubbing can do to a 12yr old oven. Shiny. But, enough about that.

I also made an origami seahorse.

And, then promptly fell asleep on the couch before posting. Teehee.

Protip: Don't ever let your sewing machine go two years between oilings. Your machine is less likely to throw an epic fit in the middle of a bunch of projects.

After getting my machine running smoothly again, I have finished another pair of teensy tiny pants and two tee shirts.

I've also finished all the machine sewing for these two. I just need to turn the heads and bodies right side out, clothe them, stuff them, and then it's all hand sewing from here on out.

Then on to the next batch! But, we'll get to them later.

xx ~Static

I didn't get a ton of sewing done today thanks to the epic battle with my slightly ancient (but awesome!) sewing machine. The hubby was kind enough to brave Wallyworld on his way home to grab me some much needed machine oil.

I have managed to finish one, of two, pair of chibi skinny jeans and the JAWS applique for one of the shirts though.

Other than that I've been fray-checking, trimming seams, pinning, and basically doing everything but machine sewing. We shall see if princess Pfaff will now cooperate since she has been thoroughly cleaned and oiled.
