My current to-make list, which you may notice does not include the things that were on my to-make list a week ago. It’s a known problem lol - finish lemon armadillo (probably tomorrow? I either messed up my thumb or am allergic to something, but either way crocheting isn’t happening tonight) - a teddy bear but it’s an opossum (next after lemon armadillo. I have ideas and like everything but the head, ears, and tail patterns already made. I’m stealing them from my bunny pattern) - a betta fish? If I can decide on fabric color or colors and which fin configuration. There seem to be a lot of different betta fish fin options, but I pretty much know how I’d make one and it wouldn’t even be that difficult (probably) just a lot of top stitching - a penguin! Gotta admit I have no idea how I’d make one. Might do some sketches tomorrow once I figure out opossum face construction. Suggest your favorite kind of penguin for me to base a plushie off of for inspiration lol - a variety of tiny hedgehogs (kinda want to make a purple one?) - something else? Please send suggestions, I’d love to draw a bunch of plushie pattern options. I’m in a pattern designy kind of mood
#what to sew next?#I am undecided on the opossum's hands and feet#because they have bright pink very distinctive toes that stand out against the dark fur of their limbs#okay not like BRIGHT pink but still pink#and I caaaaaan do that? I can have toes attached#but they will be weird looking on a teddy bear shaped opossum#I think they'd look creepy#so I might just have no toes just simplified limbs like teddy bears do#buuuuut if I do that would it not look like an opossum?#like...are the weird opossum toes necessary to the opossum-ness in the teddy bear form?#these are questions I can't ask my dad and my brother#I mean I can but they just look at me like....are you okay?????#and the answer is yes I'm fine I just can't decide about opossum toe construction#which is apparently not as reassuring an answer as I think it is lol
