I've practically gown up watching Pixar movies. They started making them around the time I was born. I LOVE them. We have a eight member family so going to the movies for 7 bucks a kid isn't exactly cheap. But every year during the summer we always go and see the new Pixar movie. It's kinda like a tradition. Anyway, anyone who likes Pixar movies knows that one of the best parts is the short film at the beginning. So today I've recreated two of the character from one of my favorites. Day & Night.
If you haven't seen it, watch it!

Who doesn't love Mario? Almost every gamer does. And there are a LOT of Mario patterns out there. So to make it a little easier on all you Mario lovers, I've made a little collection of the very best, (and free) Mario patterns. All made by the wonderful Linda Potts who makes a lot of amazing patterns for free. Along with Mario and a boat load of adorable creatures she has also made characters from Pokemon and Sonic.
Number 1 is little Mario himself. How can you not fall in love with this little guy? He's soo cute!! His pattern in Here
And number 4 is my personal favorite. BoM-bOmB. The one in the picture is actually the one I made. It was definitely a easy make. And it's soo darn cute!
Linda Potts has more Mario patterns but these were my favorite ones. She's really talented so check her out!
