Mario Plushie

This pattern has been a long time in the posting. I've argued with myself over whether or not I should sell this one, but I just couldn't do it. I know it would sell well, and I surely do need the money, but the whole reason I began making these FAN ART plushes was because I know very well how hard it is to find good patterns to make things like these for the kids. I started out

Darwin the Dinosaur

I wanted to show off another of my newer patterns that are up for sale in my Etsy shop. His name is Darwin and he's a dinosaur. He came about because my middle daughter wanted me to make her a chubby dino for her collection of stuffed animals. She helped me 'design' Darwin and we're both really pleased with how he evolved.If you're interested in the pattern for Darwin, it's available at my

Fireflower

FireFlower is by request. I had tons of email requests for this one. I understand that in the newer games the FireFlower isn't in a box, but I needed to put it in one so that it would stand up. So I sort of combined several different evolutions of FireFlower for this plushie :)The cube/box is done in rounds, like a ball which makes it a little different from most 'boxes'. It's done using

The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly

I normally don't do this, but I've had a really great time making these two fellas, and I just had to show someone. LOL The pattern for these are for sale at my Etsy shop (linked in the right-hand column at the top). I've got more patterns in the works (free ones too!) I just got so tickled with how these came out, I couldn't resist showing them off a little LOL.

Luma Plushie

Yay! More mario plushies! LOL.. well I had to make Luma. I've had dozens of requests for it, and it's a fairly simple pattern to design, and I needed easy. Working on my current commission project is draining my last ounce of patience, so this was a welcome break :DLuma can be made in just about any color you want... so have a blast. lolAs always, if you find anything wrong with the

King Boo

August 20, 2009King Boo was a request by my girls. I made him on a whim really, watching a movie with the kids. He looks a bit ragged here, because the girls were chasing each other around the house with him... I figure he's been through the ringer already :DI'll see what I can do about getting some better pictures of him, if I can wrestle him away from the girls long enough. LOLAs always, if

Toad and Toadette

August 20, 2009Took me long enough didn't it? LOL. Recently while playing one of the old mario games, I fell in love with Toadette and just HAD to make her. Well I couldn't just make her, without making Toad too... so here they are.I left the color choices open in the pattern, because there is a rather extensive 'toad' family of characters that can be made with the basic head/body in this
