apple blossom armadillo by birduyen

[pick-a-plush]

I find it very endearing that a lot of people tend to go for the more realistic plushes! I love my Wild Republic armadillo, but could we see a poll with some other little armadillos?

It’s interesting you point that out, I’ve been seeing the same thing. I find it so fascinating since so many of the major bestselling plushie companies are ones like Squishmallow, BAB, and Jellycat. None of them are particularly know for producing realistic plushies. I wonder if that market is so big because children are more drawn to cartoonish creatures? Or maybe the tumblr sample size I have been reaching really likes realistic animals? Maybe both reasons? Neither? I’ll probably never find out but it is cool to consider!

But on with the armadillo poll! I’ll do two realistic and 2 cartoonish armadillos so I’m excited to see the results!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share some stockings I decorated for my family this year!

So, my mom and I are both Jewish, but my dad is Catholic and my mom loves the Christmas aesthetic, so I like to decorate stockings every year for my family. Usually I use glitter glue to decorate them, but this year I decided to use felt pieces instead, since I always have so many problems with the glitter glue. I really like how they turned out! The Danganronpa one is my stocking, the Mario one is for my older brother, the baby Yoda one is for my mom, and the Ratchet and Clank one is for my dad, since these are all our favorite fandoms/characters.

I will mention that the designs I used are not my own! I used designs by NellielMarlon from DeviantArt, Birduyen from Instagram, TheArtYoshi from Twitter, and the official artwork from Paper Mario. The exact art I used are as follows: Taka and Mondo, Grogu, Ratchet and Clank. I do not plan to sell these stockings and will only use them for my family, so I hope this isn't a problem.

I hope y'all like them! I think overall these took me about... 15-20 hours to make? I used a template that I traced onto felt and cut out by hand, before gluing them on with fabric hot glue and regular fabric glue. I did most of them when I was unable to sleep, since I'm doing a detox of my sleeping medication for a week while I'm off work and school.

It’s nearly 1am, I took a sleeping aid about half an hour ago and I’m just sitting here thinking about how grateful I am to be living a life that has allowed me to buy art. 

I started keeping track of how much I spend on enamel pins once I realized it was a lot (when each pin is $10-14 it adds up fast), and most of the time that acts as a way to remind myself to control my spending, but there are nights like tonight where I’m just so in awe of the fact that I was able to buy all of these beautiful things from talented people and now I own them. Same goes for all of the prints on my walls, although I don’t track spending on those.

It feels so silly to be spending this much money on (mostly, but not entirely) pokemon fanart at my age, but at the end of the day I’m just happy to be a part of such a huge group of people who have decided to love silly little games about funky little animals.
