Sweet Mr. Magoo asked for this guy for his birthday. And I said, “Of course!! I’d do anything for you, Magoo!”
How appropriate. Pikachu for Magoo. Ha.
Diglett
Beckham asked for a Pokemon Diglett. How hard could it be? Why….I won’t even need a pattern.
Of course, right. But it severely complicates things when you wait waaaaay too long to finish it, and end up sewing the rocks and dirt around him in the car, ON THE WAY to the birthday party.
I had planned to do a way better job with this one. In fact, I told Beck that I wanted to make his eyes shiny and put tons more dirt around him but he said, “No, I like him just like that.”
So, the lesson learned here is do it right BEFORE the kid sees it because you won’d have time for redemption afterwards. Hahaha.
But even the baby was taken with it.
I’d love to stick around, but I’m afraid there are more birthdays coming.
Gotta go sew.
PS– In the end I wasn’t completely satisfied with the look of this little fella–so I took him back home and reworked him. Check out the new and improved Diglett HERE. We’re alllll a lot happier now.
Skitty
Another birthday we have this month is our little month is our sweet little Lily. She asked if I could make the Pokemon character named Skitty for her. There are some really clever people in this world–and I’m not one to reinvent the wheel…so to speak. So, I found the perfect pattern at Sabrina’s Crochet. Thanks Sabrina, for saving me time–and well, just saving me–if you know what I mean.
Yeah, I know. Pokemon are very strange creatures. But this one wasn’t so bad, in fact it was dang fun…
and not nearly as weird as some of them that I’ve seen.
Thank Heaven no one has asked me to make something, you know… creepy.
But then, I’m not finished yet.
Haha.
