I have really been stretching myself with my felt plushie making skills and have not only made a Clare-Smaug (a friend dressed in a red dragon suit) but I also created a Pokemon trainer version of the Bearded One for Valentines day (to go along side the new Facebook cover photo I created for him). Really enjoying sewing felt and I have found that patterns don't really work for me...I tend to just form the end result in my head, cut the felt shapes one at a time and start sewing...hoping they come together as I expect...which so far is working pretty well :)

puppet show with Peppa Pig finger puppets and custom batman themed netbook cover.
Got the pen tablet and created a few digital pieces too, some Facebook cover drawings (from the boggling mind of the awesome Bearded One) and a League of Legends themed birthday card image. These and more can be found here on my Deviant Art page.
Ooooh so yes...I have been more productive than I thought...and right now I have quite a few projects on the go, from a number of handmade leather journals to family portrait drawings in my cute cartoony style and many birthday gifts being planned and materials gathered together :) my mind is never quiet when it comes to arty things...I'm always thinking of the next awesome pressie or drawing :)
Oh I forgot to mention I have decided with encouragement of the Bearded One to try and pursue selling some of my arty skills and also trying my hand at more realistic drawing since I would like to one day draw an epic book cover design for a novel the Bearded One has been authoring for some time now. So look out for new interesting art from me :D
I shall leave you with a wee sketch of the Bearded One and I....this is our average League of Legends game time XD
