Fallout 3 Bobblehead Revisited

Back in 2009 I was asked to make an amigurumi of the Fallout 3 Bobblehead after finishing the bobblehead I showed my husband and he immediately wanted one :) I've had several other projects come up since December 2009 but I hadn't forgotten his request... while I was hoping to his bobblehead done by his birthday in July, July came and went without me starting a stitch on it...

December came and I was determined to have it done for him by Christmas. Between custom orders for the etsy shop I worked on the bobblehead and knew that though he really liked the original work, that I could be more detailed. And I would be more detailed...

I used oval safety eyes instead of circular ones I had on the previous bobblehead and gave great care to the shape of his hair and hands. I was able to bring this guy to life in time for Christmas :) (yay!) and recently snagged the bobble from his desk long enough to take a few pics to share with you! :) I hope you like him!! :)

My little vintage pillow...

That's right.. it's mine! All mine! Well, until someone buys it ☺. For now I'm holding it nice and safe with the other items wishing for new homes right now that I sell from my shop.

I must tell you though, I got a new camera from the hubs for Christmas and I'm now having fun with the pics that would have otherwise been trashed if it weren't for effects from picnik.com!

Tonight I was going through photos I want to update for the shop and found this one in a file - picnik to the rescue! I'm in love with it! Might there be a market for old vintagesque (<---tee hee, not a word ;))pics? I dare say... yes...

Fun Post it notes for the shop!

The weekly run to the grocery puts us at Target first for the frozen section goodies (and great prices - seriously ;)), but to get there we have to pass the(dun-dun-dun)dollar section. Every so often I'll rummage through there and find something that makes me think of a girlfriend who would also find the lil dollar bundle adorable so I get it. What can I say, a lil dollar spending makes me happy :)

This past week when we hit up Target we passed the dollar section since it had been revamped after the Christmas holiday. In place of where the wrapping paper used to be there was now a slew of post its, stamps and stamp pads. I found this post it and HAD to have it! Since I couldn't only find the one on the shelf I all the more have coveted this lil number! I look forward to using it when writing thank you's and adding little notes to customers.



Still contemplating the stamp pads that were there... is a dollar too much to for an inch and a half by maybe 3 inch colored stamp pad?? Hmmm...
