Holy cow I've not been here in ages.
Yes peeps, Heathy is back. Now..I have a couple of things to talk about..so please take the time to read! :3
Now, firstly, as some people who have me on msn and skype may already know, over the period of my absence, I have began to show interest in Cross-stitching. I am currently involved with a project in which myself and around 20ish people are Cross-stitching for charity.
This project, known as The Patchwork Gym (link here ->
[link] ) are raising money for the Japanese Red Cross, in wake of their Tsunami and Earthquake in back in March.
In the project, myself and the other members are aiming to complete a quilt, stitched with the 151 first gen pokemon. This quilt will be composed of 81 individual patches, which have been distributed between us and will make a 9x9 patch quilt (i assume). The patches are mostly evolutionary line based, so charmander, charmeleon and charizard will be on 1 patch, and so on and so forth, apart from a couple of exceptions.
The Patches I have taken are:
Magnemite/Magneton - Magnemite and Magneton themselves finished, working on the background
Goldeen/Seaking - not started
Zubat/Golbat - not started
Psyduck/Golduck - not started
Porygon - not started
I'll be updating you guys on my progress with each journal I make
Unfortunately, all the patches have been taken, but we hope to do more charity quilts in the future with other Gens. If you wish to follow my, or just the group's progress, please follow the link above and join our forums! You don't even need to be stitching to join.
The Patchwork Gym is an affiliate of SpriteStitch.com (The Gym was made so spritestitch wasnt overloaded with the Gym's project) link here->
[link] SpriteStitch.com is a more general videogame based crafting forum. Several mediums can be used: stitching, clay, knitting, paper..even edible projects! There are quilt projects on SS too, join the forums and join in today!
OKAY now that thats out of the way..I have more news on my commissions. In light of my new cross-stitching hobby, I've decided to start to make
miniature pokemon sprite cushions They'll be made in the same way as I'm stitching my patches for the project. The cushion will be about 5x5 inches. I'll be making a journal in the future, detailing more about how they'll be made.
anyway, I hope you guys will be interested! note me, or comment on the journal if so!
sayonara guys! Aishiteru wa! <3
