RELEASE THE KITTIES! It seems like every year, one of my friends gets something handmade for Xmas. This year, Steven was the receiver of one. As a Dethklok fan, I had to do something fun, so why not. It is “Dethklok home for wayward kitties” with the band below. The logo was the hardest thing to figure out - I had to work off of the actual logo, and bring it down to as few pixels as possible. Overall, I’m so insanely proud of this, and it was so addicting to do! That’s why I started (and just finished! Pix soon!) of the Doctor Who pattern I made (find it in a previous post) and am now thinking of what I could do next…

So I’ve been away for quite some time - computer issues, holiday orders, and a sick kitty all added to it. But, to distract myself at the moment, I’ve been making cross stitch patterns. I made a Dethklok cross stitch thinger for a friend for the holidays (I’ll post pictures soon!) and now, it’s had me thinking of little pixel figures that I can cross stitch. This is the one I finished just a few minutes ago. Feel free to use it if you’re into cross stitching - it’s about 175 stitches x maybe 50 or so high? (I suck at these things, so I’m not sure exactly how big it is). The figures was off of a base I worked up for the Dethklok figures, and the lettering was hand-pixeled, because I’m insane like that (actually, I find it cathartic for some reason…) So, Doctor Who themed! I think I got all of the Doctors as close as I could - I worked off of a combination of photos/screen shots, fan art compilations, and the figure set recently released. Colors are eyeballed - I’m not including a “DCM color code” or something like that, because quite frankly, I find that a little insane. Just go with similar colors you have/pick up/find laying around if you are going to do this. I did grid it out for you, tho :3 I’ll post my pic of this when I’m done with it, as well as the Dethklok one. Tomorrow is back to work (since I now have my laptop back - hooray!)

Well, today resulted in so many things shipped (if you ordered something, or even just looked, you are my heroes! thank you so much for actually making me feel like what I do is worth it!! I really love you guys!!) Also, tomorrow shall be finishing up some new iPad cases (River Song’s TARDIS most prominently) and I thought I’d post a pic of the larger River Song journals - now embossed! Like it better than before?

And, lastly, I combined the iPod cases & Kindle cases from Game of Thrones into one post, so I’m not spamming you too badly ;P

I love the iPod cases - they were a total whim to do, and I’m glad I did! (not to mention, its a good way to use up the extra leather scraps I have tons of!!) And, I just got a Kindle Touch, so I’m very, very much loving the cases myself - I kept a Doctor Who one for my own use ^^

As always, up on my Etsy store. One of each currently made, so if looking for holidays, better let me know ASAP, k?

Do you like them? Too much? Not enough? What else should I be making out of leather?
