Itching to do some crafts

I love crafts. I do, I do, I do! There's something really satisfying about creating something out of nothing. It gives me a sense of accomplishments and creativity. When I was a kid I used to sit beside my grandma and watch her sew or crochet. Grandma Nene used to teach me how to stitch things by hand. She was also the one who taught me how to crochet. My fond memories of my grandma include her giving me jackets that she had stitched so lovingly.

Now I'm planning to explore new crafts and make new hobbies since I'm retiring from Cosplay. Here are the things that I am interested in:

1) CUTE SCULPY SCULTURES

This is like playdough but even more fun! These crafts are usually made out of polymer clay which is really soft and pliable but hard when baked. I've seen people in cons selling their polymer clay creations and I really want to try my hand at it and who wouldn't specially with such super cute designs. I love those that look like sweets. So cute!

They even have designs that look like little fruits. gjlksfdjglksjfglkf SO CUTE!

I'm planning to buy lots of materials during my Australia trip this July. FIMO and SCULPY are really popular brands of polymer clay. I want to buy clay strips that already have designs. They can be used for nail art too!


2) FELT PLUSHIES AND SWEETS
I've been wanting to make these babies ever since SAIZEN opened up in Robinsons Galleria. That store is felt heaven since it sells so many variety of colors and are affordable at only 85php per roll. But since my focus was on cosplay and other things *cough*clothes*cough*shoes* I never got round to starting my own felt creations.

It's amazing how this cake is made out of felt. It actually looks so yummy.

3)AMIGURUMI

Amigurumi or the Japanese art of making cute animals through crochet made me nostalgic about my grandma. I really want to try it out just to test myself if I can still remember the skills that she taught me when I was still a little girl.

The nice thing is that I can also do sweets! Yes, I am addicted to cute cakes<3

Ah, so many hobbies to try out and so little time before I go to Australia. I need to focus on finishing my portfolio first before I venture out to do these sweet little projects. My fingers are already itching to get my hands on felt, polymer clay and yarn. One step at a time then. One step at a time.
