Nearing the finish line...

We have a body!

You can see my center of the body stitch markers. These helped me center the legs and arms and I'm leaving them in so I know where to place the nose.
Next: the beard.

More layout...

I think I have my layout set up as what I envisioned. Something fresh, clean and white/light.  I think white dishes are really the best type of dishes to own as food looks better on white.  I guess I wanted the same for my blog.  I thought I wanted something darker and with some color but I got it all set up (which took a while) and it didn't feel quite right.  The more I look at this setup, I like it more and more.  It still needs some tweaking (a header and some sidebar customization and who knows what other little things) but I like it.

Fixed!

Got that fixed.  I knew there had to be a reset button somewhere....just wish I had found it before deleting my posts. Now to import my old posts from my old (shortly lived) blog  from a few years ago and the posts I deleted - just to make sure the info all stays in one place.
ETA: and to fix all of the picture sizes so they aren't cropped off on one side.

Seaming away

One arm down, one to go. Cute. Thumb was fiddly, but I redid it once and it looks much better. - Also, why did I decide to do the most fiddly one first? It's super cute, but I was not in the mood to seam more after this.  All I wanted to do was sit and look at the cuteness!

Yeah, the color is all off on these.  It was late and I was in my office with flourescent lighting.  Didn't realize how the combo of no sunlight/only flourescent light makes all of the photos so blue.  *Note to self in the future, it is worth it to wait a day to take pictures in the sunlight.  But, I was really excited about the first part all seamed and stuffed!

Hi! Testing....

Testing, 1, 2, 3.
My old settings were doing something strange with the post options (from an old theme) so I've deleted them and am testing to see if problem still exists.

Gnome ho!

Check out my gnome pieces!

Staycation/Holiday

Last day of my staycation for Christmas/New Year is almost over.  I'm getting ready to head to bed now. I've finished all of the knitting for my first yuletide gnome! Now on to the seaming and stuffing.  I need to take some pictures.  It's cute so far. I also still need to knit the beard. I have a lot of different colors of Foxy and I haven't decided on a color yet.  I'm planning on sewing him up and then seeing what color I think looks best.  I might knit up several and then decide.  Then I'll have a beard or two ready to go for the future. Pics coming soon!  (and I need to figure out a layout, and a header picture!)
