Sleeping Eevee and Pikachu

Everyone is going on about the upcoming Pokemon games, Let's Go! Eevee & Pikachu! But did anyone ask Eevee and Pikachu if they wanted to go?

Another Day, Another Charmander

By far, the Pokemon I've crocheted the most is  Charmander. I made a Bulbasaur for my nephew a while back when he was first born. Well, I didn't know how to crochet when his older brother was initially born, so 5 years later, he gets a Charmander to match with his brother's Pokemon.

I used that Blue Phone Studios T-Rex pattern again, but altered the head to make it more Charmander like, as well as omit the stripes and add on the yellow tummy.

He has a jingle bell sealed inside a capsule placed inside his tummy so he jingles when you shake him, just like the Bulbasaur I made. I love that he stands up on his own (amigurumi with tails are great for this).

I hope you are all well!

All the Christmas Projects

I don't even know how to coherently relate each item to the next. We have from penguins to ballet slippers, I've been busy making them all!

Charmander Pokemon Crochet Pattern

These Charmanders are stocking stuffers for a class at a local school who were in need of some cheering. I specifically designed them to be easy to make and easy to give away. 

I wanted a quick, cute, and efficient Pokemon pattern. Something that kids would recognize, or if they didn't know Pokemon, would still like. Oddish, Poliwag, Voltorbs, all those round, easier Pokemon were a no-go. I finally settled on Charmander. Even if you didn't know or like Pokemon, he could still be thought of as a dragon or dinosaur. Also, he is DARLING so there.

So after creating NINE of him and tweaking the pattern over and over, here it is! His body and head are connected, saving some time. I did some facial sculpting just by weaving yarn back and forth through his eye sockets, but if you like the straight forward approach you can omit that. 

Pokemon Handprint Painting for Toddlers

My daughter loves crafts--especially paint. I feel like every day we have to paint at least once. She has some sensory issues but really looooves the feel of paint on her hands/ her hands being painted. So we made some Pokemon art today!

 

Pokémon Go Journal and Circuit Page

Yep, I've gotten caught up in the Pokemon Go craze as well! However, many people have expressed concern and distaste at the app. While I view the game as a largely positive thing, I understand. So, to try to "sweeten the deal", I decided to come up with some supplemental Pokemon Go activities for the summer!
