More little goblins…

I swear this is how it started….

The other day, someone re-posted this delightful thing on one of the crafting sites I follow:

I think this post originally appeared on Twitter. Isn’t this the cutest lil goblin you’ve ever seen?

So not only did I find myself chuckling, I knew that I had to find the pattern – and make up an army of goblins…

(I mean, as one does, right?)

Turns out this little cutie was made from a pattern from The Beast Peddler, so you’d best believe I purchased the pattern

and downloaded it

And in less than five minutes, I was tracing the pattern onto a scrap of green fabric with a laundry pen

cutting it up

and getting ready to sew it together.

(Well, that ‘sewing together’ part wasn’t nearly as quick! Sewing took way longer than 5 minutes!)

And that’s how I learned that sewing a doll (The Beast Peddler calls them ‘poppets’) this small (5 inches tall and 3.25 inches wide, below the ears) definitely requires some patience and skill if done on the sewing machine 😥😌

And here’s my first attempt:

He’s just a little goblin guy…
My hand, for scale!

I am definitely going to make more, but I need to buy more fabric … in whatever colors that goblins happen to be

Goblin-walk

Yesterday was such a terrible day that I needed to go for a walk.

For my mental health.

And while on that walk, I found a stick.

A great walking stick!

Well, it was a great walking stick for quite a bit before it fell apart because the rain and all had saturated the wood and made it a bit spongey in the middle…

But for about an hour, it was great, and I appreciated it, even if it didn’t last as long as I had hoped that it would.

And then, I came home and found this:

And yes, this was ME! (Poem by Aled Harris/Artwork by Wizard of Barge)

So yesterday I was that  happy goblin…
