Hello! This past week we my college winter break and I spent several days doing nothing but crafts.

The following cut hides flower bobby pins, pictures of cozies and my felt wrestling ragdoll KANE. Consider yourself tempted AND warned.


I stayed up ridiculously late one night and made these while rewatching old episodes of Veronica Mars.


I simply cannot resist action shots. :)

Made of a de-constructed silk flower, glass beads, ribbon and sequin strings. Oh, and bobby pins, of course. :)

Did someone turn up the heat? It's rather cozy in here... BWAHAHA.

A Cozy full of cozies! (Really, it makes sense to me...)


Group shot of overwhelming coziness. I pimped out the cozies with safety pins, wooden beads, buttons and novelty pins. :) Oh, and one has lace!

Cozy 1: Unused Cozy, "Disney Blitz."

Cozy 2: MP3 Player Cozy, "Cozette."
Note: The little bubbles on the cozy is an example of the crocheted popcorn stitch.

My Creative Zen mp3 player Mariette says "hello♥!"

Cozy 3: Wallet Cozy, "Cozy Incognito."

Cozy 4: Cellphone Cozy, "Gay is Yay."
Note: My girlfriend made the red heart cellphone charm for me. Well, technically she made the heart and I modge-podged it, poked some wire through it and made it into the charm you see there.

This is my cell phone Claudia. She doesn't say hello. Probably because she doesn't like you. (Well, she doesn't like anyone, so don't be sad.)

Onto business:

Let there be KANE. KANE is a WWE wrestler, particularly my favorite one. And this doll insists that I spell his name as such: KANE. He also hates being referred to as a doll. I will be duly punished later for my insolence. (The guy in my icon is Kane. I am really obsessed with him.)

You may have seen Maskless-Kane running around. He is the crazy man in that movie "See No Evil."


He is about 18" tall and is made of felt, fluffy white stuffings, fabric paint, and threads. He is hand-sewn and was born while watching wrestling and Law and Order. I just made a pattern up when I was watching. (I could post it here if anyone wants it to make muscle-y dolls.)

Much to his displeasure, he is unfinished. I have a very short attention span, which is why I am prone to finishing things in one sitting. Because if I don't, I move on and don't finish the original project. But since I love KANE, I will be finishing him.

For size comparison:

KANE and my favorite childhood relic Bunni. They didn't get along at first, on account of KANE trying to chokeslam her. Little did she know that's how KANE says hello.


Bffs? Only time will tell.

Side Question: I have had that rabbit stuffed animal since I was 2, around twenty years ago (or so my mother tells me). Has anyone seen another stuffty like her around? I am intrigued...

Thank you for looking! ♥
