The TOS Up

New video added to the youtube channel, that is NOT one of Anti’s Vlogs!

Galaxy box! More info on it can be found here

Done in acrylic on wood over the course of a day while the carpet was shampooed and left to dry, trapping me in the computer room/office. :3

just a personal project that was being worked on to get a written pattern down for future projects. Ran out of the changing yarn near the end and had to go over to a purple for the tails and ears, but it’s still cute. it was a wierd type of yarn, a kind i will never use again, but it sure makes clear stitches. I did that on purpose so i can count rows and single crochets easily later on..uhhmm..ya...

we updated youtube with more videos... we haven’t been crafting lately for personal reasons but we are finishing some things, just very slowly. Uhhh.. going to have company for a week or so and than we will get back into the game, crack our knuckles, and do some more craft time with Anti.

1: Grohl, still yes..i may have finally found a way to make nice gems, but if they dont work out (basically if i dont like them) I will have to fall back onto making felt ones. (tundra grohl design from flightrising.com for Thraka) 2: lil cupcake hat. for a friend of a friend using some old yarn of mine... 3: stuffed Mogran toy prototype.. need to make its legs and arms than ductape body double it and make an official pattern. also figure out how to make an egg for transportation purposes. (mogran is a species on FA that Anti made a while ago and is bringing back soonish..hopefully this fall) 4: Tigerblood foo blanket Shawl just starting this because i didnt want to work on the other projects XD (tigerblood foo blanket design from Flightrising.com, shawl pattern from ravelry)

5: record more Millenium. I’ve got a number of episodes down and I like this game so I want to finish it before I upload them episodes.

6: youtube outro and intro animations. I commissioned someone for some music so when that’s done I’ll be adding some animation for some new TOS Up intros and outros. (music will be composed and created by Norphelia whispersong)

I think that’s it.. the mogran toy will be an Art Corner update when I get this main part done and decide on a final pattern.

Made a baby blanket for my expecting friend. it was a really simple thing to learn to make and only took about 5 hours to complete :D I love it. the photos don’t show the nice brown and purples mixed in there, but meh.. Still happy with it.

So, shocker everyone, i was productive.

I did give up on defeating Raines again, i’ll probably take a week off of trying to slaughter him again, so instead I played Lichdom: Battle Mage and did some recording of that to tide over the updates for wednesdays. those got recorded, edited and uploaded this morning, so you will be able to see them starting next week! yay!

Yes I do like FFXIII but I am having serious issues with Raines and whenever I DO beat him, something shit happens to the recorded files and I loose them... It’s angering.. very angering.. I’ve spent the last two weeks trying to fix this problem.. I give up for now.

Don’t worry, FF XIII isn’t over, just on a break.

Also as a side note, we will be adding more Anti’s Art Corner episodes on Fridays. This will include speed up of streams as well as regular time crafty stuff and art things. These may not be every friday, but we will try to have at least 2 or 3 in a month...at the least.

As for ongoing TOSUp creations things, the baby shirt is done, the rug is done, the dragon is almost done (just need to attach the crystals) and a plushie is in the works....as well as a shawl :3 so things are going on.

I hope everyone has a great time during the rest of their summer and we will see you soon!

and by big project I mean something I am making for myself. I will be doing this on the side of making Mogran toys and finishing the ongoing things, but its more of something for me to sit and do while watching netflix before bed and while editing videos and saving and shizz.

blocking some parts for a baby top I’m making. Link tunic style for a 6month apparently (according to the pattern... the thing seems so far to be the same size as a couple of 1 year olds I know so...we’ll see?)

anyways, The chair is when cause blocking, but once this all dries I get to attach it all together and add in the collar/neck part that has buttons and such so there will be a finished and put together image up sometime this week. And yes I am well aware I still have other things to finish that I should really finish.. like Grohl.. who’s toesies you can see in this picture by one of my (dieing) faerie gardens.

also, garden is dieing cause it got to much heat and sun over this last week so I have just moved it to bring it back to life, hopefully. who knows. I love plants but apparently I’m not very good at keeping them alive lol.

Yarn projects on the burner right now?

Grohl - mold for eye side test is setting. will resin cast it sometime this week to see if it will work. if not I will start that part over again, if it does I can finally move on and get him done in the next couple of weeks or so.

Baby top - blocking parts, will sew together, finish collar and block again.

Latch hook rug - still needs it’s border stitched. but otherwise that’s done.

I think that’s all.. I have some ideas on paper that I want to work on. but I want to finish what I have going first or they will end up there on my desk forever cause I will forget about them....over and over again..yup

Finally finished the thing. Been making this sweater and it’s pattern since December and I finally finished the undersweater. I have a large ball of green for hte ‘warp around’ one but im not sure it will be enough. Once I figure out the pattern for that one I will know for sure, but that will likely take another 5 or 6 months to pull together XD

Anywho im overall happy with how it turned out. It still needs to be washed and blocked out so its a little wrinkly looking and I need to stiffen the shoulder part so it wont curl when worn, but once that is done I will take some nice otudoors shots with it on someone :3

i cant seem to stop... this took up what was left of a green, blue, white and purple variegated sock yarn i had sitting around from..somewhere.. i dont remember but it felt old so im sure i need to wash it. also size comparisons? yup. all of them have the same 14mm safety eyes..so.. there ya go?

Made this cute lil blighter over two days on a whim. I just grabbed one of my hooks two small balls of scrap yarn and went to town. I had no idea what i was making when it all started but after adding eyes to the ‘head’ and kept going well.. it just..turned into this. He also is ending up to be a birthday present for my friends kid who turns 1 this weekend, so that worked out well. He is by no means perfect or planned..or even symmetrical, but i think a lil 1 year old boy wont give a dang about that and its all toddler friendly. completely 100% washable in a machine and the eyes wont fall out due to being ‘safety eyes’. the bottom of its feet are red too so..ya.. i dunno. i’m happy with it XD might make some smaller ones to use up all this scrap yarn I have, but alas i REALLY REALLY REALLY need to finish Grohl first..whose gems are pissing me off..cause crystals...and symmetry.. and im bad at that stuff XD
