Are you happy or sad?






I had thought about making a plushie for a while (I *always* realize my ideas way behind from when they come up in mind! sigh), and finally last night managed to put together this first one. I initially thought about making him shaped, with his "legs" and everything, but then I wanted him to be small and that one could carry him around in a hand, so I guessed it was better starting with a plain shape.
I digitized the design with my embroidery software (and with some pain, also! haha) and did it with my machine embroidery tool. The pink/red sides are made from felt (pannolenci, for real). I have to work more on sewing the hole at the end, though! :)

I made this keeping in mind small children, thinking that if I would be a child right now (which sort of I am), maybe I would have liked playing with a toy that can express emotions, in some way.

I'm making more of these happy/sad melminos, and eventually sell them on my site-to-be. I know I am late on my previously setted deadline (first week of may), but the layout is ready and all I need now is to cut it up (I obviously managed to make more difficult this process due to the nature of the layout) and make some coding. Today I ended up asking for some help and I hope to make big steps during this week. Let's see and cross fingers.
