Someone saw the gift I made for the dental hygienist when she handled my panic attack and asked for a tooth for her own dental office. 

I told her it would be kind of psychotic to give a model of my own actual tooth to a total stranger and equally psychotic to stare at her mouth for the same amount of time it would take to make a model of her own tooth 

 I asked if a tooth fairy would be good and she agreed a tooth fairy would be sweet (no real sugar lol).

Hyper realistic flowers for florist

Custom Order: a floral wreath!

Finished just in time for Easter! Happy Spring!! 

04/03/2036-- I had to stop because no more flowers would fit on the frame. In a way, I took notes on all 12 but clearly started with the flowers I wanted to try the most so maybe it's okay to not do the rest....I will have to move the rest of the undone flowers to a different post later without breaking the hyperlinks.

6-Peach Rose

Design notes: I count a total of: 11 exterior wide petals with a center-notch, 9 medium rolling petals, 5 interior cone petals. Really good bud close-up on wiki. 

Greens: serrated edges, pinnate. Just can't forget the thorns!

Inside (4-5)

Middle (9)
Work a 2x4 swatch, live stiches longways and start CO either side to create a point. Cut off and sc from where center points to the side to cut seam. Add to central base.
Swatch of CO 14 below
Exterior(11)




8-Gladiolus (Orange)
Design Notes: This beautiful orange one is just so pretty. Fuller blooms on the bottom with progressively unopened but color showing tips on top. 

Greens: Very thick stalk with frond things on top. make at least one extra length full length leaf/sheath(lol sword pun). 

I am NEVER doing this one again. Turned out great but such a pain. Also made an ugly sheath leaf.

3-Daffodil (Yellow/Two-Tone)

Design Notes: Apparently daffodil pieces come in as wide a range as hand buttered popcorn! Six overlapping petals, close to tulip petal texture. Duck-bill orange center and daffodil yellow outside :) 

Greens: wide, very dark green stem, brown top right below bulb

Inside cone of daffodil done. Gotta do outside of it now.

Conclusion: I am DEFINITELY making more of these with the same weight as the light yellow. The dark goldenrod was too heavy and clunky.

2-Violet (Indigo)

Design notes: Holy Moly there are so many kinds of violets. The more pink side of the spectrum captioned here as a variant since they tend to be not as pink-ish. The petals are almost very leathery/folded tissue paper texture. 

Greens: leaves glossy, heart shaped

7-Water Lily (Lavender)

Design notes: Some pics have way more petals than others. Some Not really sure if it's a species thing, or what. Greens: Lily pad. No other greens.

Construction notes: Extremely clumsy and clunky to make each piece individually but needed to start somewhere. If I ever do this again, will make a disc-base of a circle of petals and then add petals above and below the disc. Would also create a more natural ruffle texture than what I did which was essentially double stack all petals. Must redo if I have time. 

4-Daisy (White/Yellow)
Design Notes: Oxeye daisies are called oxeye because the center goes in! I am not going to bother with a sunken construction and I think the full-on puffed bobble of a classic English daisy would be more fun. Extremely, extremely thin petal. 

Greens: surprisingly easy-going stalk, like a dandelion

Construction notes: CO and sc immediately into chain x sc 8 for Whites. Sc yellow half circle, into back loop only to create more of a spiral/pebbled texture.
Extra Note: This was actually a lot of fun and easy. Maybe adapt into a sunflower design.

5-Lily of the Valley (White)

Design Notes: So interesting that these also, the lower ones tend to bloom first. I guess it's just a stalk trait, like how the gladiolus does it. 

Construction notes: Knit bell and crochet tips. Knit rectangle stkntt, draw all loops closed and weave in end for perfect curve.  Sc curved tips facing knitside to pop out--purl side facing out. Makes too many ends to weave in. Not as much of a pain as the gladiolus. Can improve on the bell curve if I ever do this again by swatching the stckntt. 

Greens: Actually need a lighter green to hang the bells off of, and a darker green where it joins the rest of the main stem.

Extra fern experiment

Do by October!

First big hobby lobby trip 03/20/26 bought a floral frame to hang them all in! First hardcore google sesh from 11:16am-3:31pm on a weekend lol

Finally going to embroider...maybe

I asked for this super specific Judit Gummlich book for Christmas and I'm finally in a state to open it.

Ironically, I strive for variety so I don't have any stkntt pieces to embroider on. Most of my things have lace or cables or a textural thing already. I guess it is swatch season again. Or maybe people will ask for mittens right as spring starts lol yeah right.

The book also has a recommendation for what type of thread to buy for embroidery. Oh joy another thing to buy. I may just split a poorly-plied worsted yarn that tends to split neatly for now. We'll see!

Timmy the tyke of a tooth for hygenist

Edit after gifting: She said she could tell which tooth I had modeled it after!!!!!

 Timmy the cantankerous tooth?

Mischievous raised eyebrow

03/09/2026

Very glad hubby said to try again later

Took a picture of my teeth and looked them for a really long time during my lunch break today to study the shape. Yes, that is my actual mouth.

---

Doing the cute little facial expression and maybe a toothbrush sword(?) can wait

03/07/2026

Still trying to figure out the shaping but I'm done for one night. Debating gifting it like this but hubby said try again when I am rested. The center "well" is too deep. I might put a filling/cap on it

Stuffing is always the most exciting part

Folded up one pipe cleaner in each root

4 sewn tips

4 loose tips

Short rows on one tip

Had a panic attack freak out in the chair unrelated to the dental work being done, and I was so thankful for how my hygenist got me through it and that I wanted to make her something! 

I asked a different hygenist if she thought an anatomical model or a cute plushie would be better and she said part of hygenist school is drawing anatomically correct teeth so if someone gave her a model it would give her PTSD. Literally everyone said go with the cute one lol
