I do too many things. Mature content; 18+. VΦ. My debatably better half is @goodwarlock.bsky.social. Conducive criticism is always welcome. My really long thoughts can be found at my blog on https://aapurezero.wordpress.com/

Some people say we're on top of turtles, but I think it's jellies all the way down. Had a cake of chenille yarn and decided to make it into my current marine obsession. It follows the same body as the moon jelly and somehow ended up being around twice as large.

This little head comes after around 6 years of amigurumi experimentation and 5 previous prototypes of dolls. I considered the following in the design of this mockup: • Armature options • Adaptable to various designs • Design consistency • Low/no sew • The usual voracious aspect. Can't forget that!

Frogging a project is arduous and at times disappointing, but now you have yarn you can use for something else that will actually make you happy. I've fallen out of love with a vest and I think I'll turn it into a shrug instead.

Made one that looks like a moon jelly. I crocheted 40(!) little tentacles and hand embroidered the rings (somehow aesthetically pleasing gonads), but didn't have the foresight to crochet the oral arms with the rest of the body. I tried to crochet the arms on after, but couldn't make them look right.

Amigurumi (crocheted plush) of a small, green sea jelly and a larger, blue sea jelly are in front of a yellow yarn cake with a partially made amigurumi piece and reddish crochet hooks. The blue jelly resembles a moon jelly (with embroidered white rings) while the green one is more plain. All are on a black background.

I got around to uploading the final result. It was a quick mend taking maybe 30 minutes to do. Getting the motivation add my watermark was something that took me longer than needed to do. I'm wondering if my furbies are into the Men in Black movies for the same reason a lot of folks are…

A pair of inside-out sleeves on a white background. The black sleeves' seams are visible: one sleeve uses a grey thread that closely matches the fabric and the other sleeve has a lighter grey thread.A hoodie with lettering with the movie franchise Men in Black's logo with "Alien Attack" over the logo. The hoodie has a grey body with black sleeves. Two Furby toys are inside the hoodie's pockets.

I got a hoodie as a memo from a favourite amusement park ride's gift shop a while back, but only recently had I realised a good chunk of the sleeve wasn't stitched properly. I had my little Furby sewing buddies help me find the seam, and I had to take a goofy picture with them.

A variety of Furby toys are placed around a black hoodie sleeve on a white background. One of the Furbies is poking out of a popped seam on the hoodie.
The hoodie is from the Men in Black Alien Attack ride, by the way. You can't tell from this image alone, though.

Third prototype made. Looks a lot more like a yoshi egg minus the spots. I've got an idea to mark where I'll appliqué spots. A curious thing is that the spots are randomly scattered on the egg in game models. I'll see if I can make something similar.

Three beige, egg-shaped fabric mock ups are in front of a green, knitted Yoshi amiibo figurine. All are on a black fabric.

I found the goofy goober who was posing as me! Can't really do too much to this fella, though. Anyway, I've been working on prototypes for an egg plush. I want to make them rounded and spotted, but the seams I've used do not make sewing the eggs up easy. I'll probably simplify the seams.

A green, knitted Yoshi amiibo figurine held by a black, gloved hand. Due to the black background, the hand is difficult to see. Behind the Yoshi are two, egg-shaped, fabric mock ups in beige.
