Favorite Craft: An End to 2011

First off, sorry about my lack of posts. the last two months have been… trying. Between several vermin that thought my house would be much better than their outdoor nests and other homes, a cold that just keep going (I swear, it’s like the energizer bunny cold), and the fact that as a crafter, I actually need to craft some gifts for the holidays, blogging fell to the wayside.

I am looking forward to the new year. The present year got off to a bumpy start and never really got much better. In fact when a light bulb shattered near our dear child last night, my husband asked me, “When will this year be over?”

I’m looking forward to making lots of great things for myself, my home, and my kids this next year. I’m plotting how to spend my gifts cards to crafty stores even now. But this year I made many things. to remind myself this year wasn’t all bad, I want to think about my favorite crafty project.

 

Favorite craft

I think mine must be the murloc ornament. It took just long enough to be proud when I was done, looked exactly like i wanted it to, and it was well received.

What about you? I must know, what was the favorite crafty project you did this year? Feel free to link to your crafty post. Leave a comment below. (BTW, spammy links that have nothing to do with crafty stuff will be deleted. I’ve been getting more and more of those lately. I appreciate that small business people want to get the word out, that’s why there’s a url under your name. Please only link in text, if it relates to the post.)

Murloc ornament

WoW Christmas ornament

Quick post of a project I have completed for the holidays. I present to you the world of Warcraft  murloc Christmas tree ornament. I used a basic pattern from a murloc pattern I found on a Craftster post. I added the red hands and feet, and used a red feather for it’s back fin. I made it look as close as I could to a murloc in the game.

Materials for a Murloc Ornament

I used:

  • Green felt (lime)
  • red felt
  • red feather
  • ivory felt (teeth and eye rims)
  • light blue glass seed beads
  • teeny bit of polyfill
  • red and green embroidery thread
  • googly eyes

I hand sewed the ornament around the edges using a whip stitch. I stitched the vein of the feather inside so the fluff would come out as his back fin. Used a little bit more thread to use as a hanger and Voila! murloc ornament for my DH, who raids three nights a week as a pink haired gnome.

I am always looking for good WoW related crafts for him and I’m sure other people have the same issue. Leave acomment if you liked it, or if you know of other great World of Warcraft style crafts to make.

Happy crafting!
