I’m trying to make typing patterns more of a goal than it has been in the past.
If you follow me on Instagram you know I have been painting and it is taking a lot of time. Plus I was inundated with toy plushies for Christmas orders.
Now, I am working on a fantastic custom order based off of Kevin the Bacon Scarf. Stay tuned for more updates.
Did I mention, I’m also opening a wine bar and patio. Needless to say typing patterns has not been a priority. I’m trying to fix that.
As I have said before, it is hard to find the comic book ladies in crochet form. Everyone goes to your male heroes, but the ladies are underrepresented.
Remember Thundercats? I do, I wanted to be Cheetara when I was younger. (I was young and didn’t understand cartoons vs reality). So I made my very own plush Cheetara. There is needlefelting and quite a bit of hair, but she should be fairly simple once you get those done.
As always if you make her use #drunkenauntwendy so I can find her on Social Media and give you a thumbs up.

Last year I did a bunch of mini monsters for Halloween. I didn’t get them all typed. I wanted to add this one to the mix. They’re all gonna laugh at you.
One of my first Steven King books and my absolute best Halloween Costume. (I even won a contest)
Blood everywhere
As you can see, I may have gotten blood all over my walls and radiator. Its all good because it was just stage makeup mixed with a lot of water. (I was going to use paint, but in the test run it dried really crusty). The makeup stays nice and bright, but it does transfer off if you rub it directly.
The hair can be attached anyway you like. This is a new method, that I like a lot, but it is a touch confusing.
You also can make her with no blood, but where is the fun in that.

It has been awhile since I have had time to type a pattern. I will try to be better. Here’s one of my Cereal Icons. I loved these commercials when I was little. My parents wouldn’t let us get these cereals as they were so sugary.
