Description A huggable squeezable item box from Nintendo's Mario Bros! I made this for Aaron last year for Christmas. He wanted one of these soooo baaaaad. Since the sewing machine and I hate other each other too much to co-exist in the same room I stitched this by hand. On one side I sewed in a pouch in which I put some of the 'magical' items one would find in an item box: a feather, a mushroom, a star, a flower, and of couse, a coin! To make the items I just colored and cut out some some graph paper as I inteded to go back later to make better ones... but meh... I'm too lazy!

Mario's item box is owned by Nintendo

If you do, just make sure you don't run into any copyright issues w/ the big N. XD I'd hate to be the cause of a lawsuit.

Oh I know... That would be VERY bad... Definitely wouldn't sell them on ebay or anything, that's just asking for trouble!

And hand-stitched? Wow.. that's amazing work. You must have a lot of patience (and let me tell you, it paid off! )

Look what i bought for my parents
The couple Popeye and Olive ...Popeye for my dad cause he is also a sailor , and Olive for my Mom cause she is hopelessly in love with my dad ....aaaaand....i also bought mini photo albums and adjusted my photos for the album...to take them with them..when they are away...so that they miss us....just open up the album..and remind them of us...
I want to adjust these albums...so that they can be hanged in the Christmas tree...that can be easily found when my dad reaches out for a candy or two

oh...and for my grandma...also a small album....like mom's and dad's....and a Santa Hat...to become for real santa...cause on the Christmas day...she comes to our place...to bring us gorgeous and thoughtfull gifts...sooo.....She is the real thing..the real Santa..and she needs a real Santa Hat

WOW! handstitched! that is amazing I can't sit down and hand stitch anything! just takes too long. but a labor of love makes it worth it. hope your nephew enjoyed it.

theshaggyturtle In reply to TToes [2006-12-10 04:32:46 +0000 UTC]

It did take quite a while, but it's worth it for me not to have to fight with the sewing machine! I actually made it for my finace, and he did like it very much! (he wanted more smaller ones too, but I said no!)

Yeah... I'd rather not, it would give me a head ache!! All that fabric... miles of stitches... that have to be straight... Not to mention the details!!
