Hey there everyone! And, as hinted at in last week’s post, welcome to “What I Did During Lockdown, Part Two”! It turns out that tierneycreates Beastie wasn’t just shopping online… She was also on the lookout for love! And since Human Tierney recently celebrated her own engagement, what better time to pair her monster counterpart up with a good lookin’ Beastie fella?
Well hello there!
He’s certainly dressed to impress, in a crisp white t-shirt and hand-embroidered baseball cap. Let’s get a closer look at that, shall we?
Just like human Tierney’s beau, this guy is showing some love for the Denver-based Colorado Avalanche ice hockey team… And how could any monster maker resist a team logo that incorporates a Bigfoot foot? I used 100% wool felt for the hat body, then appliquéd the large blocks of colour before embroidering in the finer details.
Hmmm… I wonder what else this woolly monster has in common with his human counterpart?
Well, it looks like he might be a dab hand (or paw) in the kitchen!
Yum! I’d almost eat this myself… If it wasn’t entirely made out of wool. The portion is probably better suited to a Beastie-sized appetite anyway. Are you hungry, Mr Beastie?
“Well sure… But in this shirt?”
Oh, good point. Here, pop your favourite cooking apron back on.
Much better!
And how about a small digestif to round off the meal? It seems our Beastie friend is something of a bourbon connoisseur, and only the finest whisky will do – Monster’s Mark!
This tasty tipple is presented in a bottle with hand-embroidered label, embroidered felt seal and needle-felted “wax”-dipped top!
It will also be the perfect accompaniment to… Poker night!
Here we go! He’s sitting at the card table, we’ve dealt the cards… And wow, he’s a high roller! Those are $100 chips he’s betting with!
I think we should call it, and take a look at that hand.
It doesn’t get much better than that – a royal flush! And it looks like romance may indeed be on the cards… He’s got a pawful of hearts, featuring teeny-tiny embroidered portraits of himself, tierneycreates Beastie and Mikelet the (miniature) miniature Schnauzer.
So, any news you want to share with us?
Ooooh, is that an engagement band on your magic magnetic paw? And rumour has it that there was one in the box for a certain lady monster too… Congratulations, Beasties! May you enjoy many happy years of warm woolly happiness together.
And on that high note, it’s time to wrap up for this week! Catch you again next Tuesday!
That is some next level teeny tiny sewing going on there. Wowzer!
Thanks Laura! I’m certainly glad I had the magnifying lamp for this one! Cheers for popping in 😊
Me and the boyfriend are super impressed with the beastie-sized playing cards! They’re amazing.
They are amazing in person!
Thanks so much, Hannah (and boyfriend!) 😊 All that teeny sewing paid off! Cheers for swinging by!
Your photos are much better than mine I am posting on my latest blog post – ha! Thanks again for such a wonderful monster and spectacular accessories!!!!
Oh, I’m sure that’s not true! Thanks for the heads-up, I’ll drop over to check it out later on. And cheers for providing me with one of my biggest Beastie challenges EVER! 😁
