A creative weekend (and Pokemon toys)!

So, I had a really good weekend. 

Reasons.

1. I finally started to get over this super crummy sickness that I've had for over a week.
2. I got LOTS of sewing done (as well as some custom pony making)
3. I got new toys in the mail!
4. I started watching Attack on Titan. Holy deathballs.


Let's start with number 3. 


How amazingly cute are these Pokemon Playsets?! I've been wanting to add these to my collection for a long time (and there are quite a few variations), but only recently bit the bullet and ordered them! They weren't particularly expensive, and they are all complete with the correct Pokemon. And a really cool thing? You can connect all the different playsets with the little bridges that they come with!


I won't embarrass myself by saying how long it took me to figure this out. 

On a more creative front, I finished some fun projects this weekend as well!


 I made my first custom My Little Pony! Yoshi seemed like an easy beginner project (no re-hairing) and I got him done in a Saturday. He was originally a G3 'Breezy' that I found at a thrift shop for a dollar. With a couple bottles of paint and some sculptey, he is MUCH cuter and much more 'me'. 


I also whipped up some envelope backed pillow cases for some friends down the hall. They have a multitude of novelty tees and wanted some of them repurposed. I am also ashamed to say that these are the first things that I have sewn in months. MONTHS. The shame of it all...

Let's hope that this upcoming weekend is just as great!
