It hardly seemed like summer this year. No trips to Thailand. No swimming pools. Even the weather was like, "eh, I don't feel like me this year." I'm grateful for the mild temps, however, because we spent most of the summer outside. Not being able to go or do things made our yard seem very appealing. Being cooped up inside spurred my husband into planting every flower he could get his hands on. I'm not kidding.
I should have been focusing on building my Etsy shop. Instead, I put in on vacation and focused on keeping my 4-year-old occupied. He suddenly became very interested in Pokémon and thus it became the summer of Pokémon So far, 14 of them have joined our household.
It started with Bulbasaur.
I found a pattern for this little guy on Ravelry. I would probably do things a little different next time, but it was a fairly easy pattern to follow and gave me practice with amigurumi. It's the faces that get me. I just need to practice more and the Bo-man has been good about finding more things for me to make for him to do just that. He's a spoiled little boy, but I also really enjoy making them. Small projects are great for me because I can finish in a day or two and don't get bored of it in that short time. I need to complete things. Just me?
I'll be sharing more of the Pokémon I made this summer over the next few weeks, including where to find the patterns. I'm also available for commissions if there is a Pokémon you want for your own.
