Love, forever, my toys

I haven’t updated since October 2009 here. Way too bad, considering that my attachment to my toys, both present and past, has increased, and my love for them as well. So many memories, so many experiences… my toys continue being precious and everlasting a presence in my life. I will never get tired to look at them, hold them, smile at them, tell them my joys and my tears, and seldom playing with them. Whenever I feel uninspired to produce something creative, THEY remind me that imagination is innate in every human being, and it’s alive at every age, and it’s not rare that a mere 10 minutes spend with the company of my toys makes me come up with cool ideas I would never thought of before.

In the photo here, you can see Hitmonchan and myself back on 2001. I was 16 years old then, and I used to play a lot. My Hitmonchan - one that I sewed myself - was wearing a similar shirt to mine, and it was so fun taking that photo together. :) I wish to hold my little one again.. Hopefully, one day I’ll get him out of that garage… I miss him deeply.

What holds me back from taking him now? Simple: my phobia for spiderwebs. x_x The garage’s FULL of those, and I cannot find anyone willing to do me the favour so far…

My Hitmonchan (literally!)

You might be wondering why does a Hitmonchan plushie wear a baby suit and sandals (LOL), and why does he look so non-fighter compared to the anime version. Well my darlings, the answer is simple: because I sewed this Hitmonchan doll with my hands. :) It was a 4-days long labour of love and patience, and of course I designed my Hitmonchan to be the kid I have always seen in him; in fact, Hitmonchan is one of my imaginary children in the Prime Family, and he’s surely one that I love dearly, even though I don’t RPG him that often. Well, I don’t even need to mention that his plushie version is a way to keep him close in real life as well. ;) Pokemon aren’t that hard to sew, they just need a good design to be thought of and put on paper before starting cutting the cloth and getting the markers. Sewing is art. And Hitmonchan is one of my imaginary kids that I can love in real life too. I thank God for giving me the talent to make him so. :) Really.
