A miniature skunk and other things

  This past month hasn't been wholly fruitless, even if it may seem like it to me. I finished Christmas gifts for two people on my list, so I'm glad to have that marked off. Now whether they will actually like the gifts is another thing. I'll just have to wait till Christmas to find out. I hope, at least, that they will appreciate them. The next people on my list I have yet to come up with even an idea as to what to make, and it's left me quite frustrated. I know they'll like anything I make them, but I still want to make something special, and so I've been racking my brain to come up with things. But while I'm trying to come up with ideas, you shouldn't expect to find me idle.
  In fact, a couple weeks ago, I finished the skunk. I'm still wondering if I made it a little small, but so far, I'm pretty content with the design of it. But, of course, how can I tell you about it without showing a picture?
  So, that's how it turned out. I know the picture quality is pretty bad. But the last few days have been rainy and cloudy, so no outdoors photoshoot. But once it clears up, I plan to take better pictures. Overall, I think he looks pretty cute. I still haven't finished setting up the pdf file with the pattern, but I expect to put up this little guy's pattern on my etsy shop within the week. c:

  In my last post, I mentioned the first amigurumi request I got, which was a Pokémon. I also said it was going to be a surprise and I wouldn't unveil it until it was finished. Well, you can hold me to that promise. But what I wanted to say is that I've begun work on it. I hope to finish it before the end of November, but with the holidays fast approaching, we'll see.

  Then, my little sisters have been asking me to make Kirby's for them. They want a huggable one, so that'd probably use up a considerable amount of yarn, which I most likely don't have. But since he's a round squishy ball, coming up with a pattern shouldn't be that difficult of a challenge. If I do make one, odds are he won't be his traditional pink, but some other color. I'll have to just make do with what I have.

  I hope you're looking forward to what's to come; I sure am! Till next time!
