A Plush A Day Challenge! Day 28 - Apple the Kitty & Hibernation

A Plush A Day Challenge!  Day 28 - Apple!
Day 28 - Ball o'Kitty

It has been a dreary day here, and for all dreary days, there is an appropriate response: curling into a ball and taking a nap. Apple is always on top of this idea, but at other times exists only as a surprised blur flitting about the house. There's just no between.

Here we are in one of the still moments. Shhhh.

Plush A Day Challenge - Temporary Winter Hibernation!Oh yes! Winter hibernation!
The Plush A Day Challenge is going on Winter Hibernation until January 1, 2010! This will give me time to work on, finish up, start some presents, do a lot of travelling, all kinds of stuff for the holidays!

I'll probably still post occasionally, but I know you all read this at work, and you'll be off gallivanting as much as I will. So, me and plushies will be back in two weeks - see you then!

A Plush A Day Challenge! Days 27 - Jenkins the Dragon!

A Plush A Day Challenge: Day 27 - Jenkins the Dragon!
Day 27 - Jenkins the Dragon

Originally, I was going for dinosaur, but then things just got out of hand (especially the tail!) Then what hatched was Jenkins here. As a dragon, he enjoys fighting adventurers, milkshakes, and hanging out in dungeons.

What is it with me and out-of-control tails on these plushies? The squirrel, the red panda, and now the dragon! My tail obsession must stop!

A Plush A Day Challenge! Days 26 - Ninja!

Day 26 - Ninja!

The photo is a little blurry, because it is difficult to catch a ninja even when they let you take their picture.

I can not give you any further information about this ninja on pain of tiny pointy death from above.

A Plush A Day Challenge! Days 25 - Fatbird!

Day 25 - Fatbird!
I'm not entirely sure this is a bird - it's wingless, and it eats all of the cashews I throw into the yard. Do birds even eat cashews?

It's pretty cute hopping around, though. Even if it scares the squirrels.

In order to make myself use up this embarrassment of tshirt material, I am instituting a Plush a Day Challenge to myself. Essentially, I have to make some sort of plush creature every day.

A Plush a Day Challenge! Day 21 - Mender of Broken Hearts (Gerald)

Day 21 - Mender of Broken Hearts

People are always wondering how to mend a broken heart, and that's where Gerald here steps in. With his patented "HeartWelld" welding technique, he fixes the various fissures, cracks, and general wear and tear that most hearts endure.

On the weekends, Gerald says he enjoys playing the violin.

A Plush a Day Challenge! Day 20 - Zombear

A Plush A Day Challenge: Day 20 - Zombear!
Day 20 - Zombear

We all knew it was coming - nothing goes with cute brains better than a zombie! This guy is a zombie bear, hence his name Zombear. He would be sad that his ear is all bitten off, but he's just more interested in staring directly at your skull.

Where your delicious delicious brains are.

A Plush A Day Challenge! Day 19 - Brains!

A Plush A Day Challenge: Day 19 - BRAINS!
Day 19 - Brains!

This is a brain on my windowsill. It's pretty happy about it. The temptation to name her "Sarah Bellum" is pretty high. But we're just gonna stick with "Brains."

A Plush A Day Challenge! Day 18 - CONbot!

A Plush A Day Challenge: Day 18 - ConBot
Day 18 - ConBot

ConBot is made from some more of the Boston 2009 FUDCon tshirt that I had. This part includes the tag cloud, which I really like the visual imagery of.

Unfortunately, ConBot is a bit crazed - look at those eyes! Maybe there are too many words on his belly?

A Plush a Day Challenge! Day 17 - FUDbot!

A Plush A Day Challenge: Day 17 - FUDbot (back)This robot is made from the FUDcon Boston 2009 shirt that I got - in fact, I plan to make 2-3 robots from the material! I was reminded about this shirt since FUDCon is going on right now up in Toronto!

His full name is Leonidas Stentz, but he prefers "FUDbot" so I'm fine with that. FUDbot likes to wear my chopsticks in his back pocket because they "make it look like I'm a sweet ninja!"

Even with such cheerful colors, the saddest monster is still pretty sad. It's okay monster, let's go to the movies.
