Cloth Doll-Merry Berry

Merry Berry-a cute little cloth doll I made just because. This fun easy project turned in to a learning experience. Lesson learned-make your own pattern from the start. I started with a pattern I liked but... Any how I ended up making a lot of changes. Trust me she doesn't look anything like the original pattern. She does stand up on her own two feet, all ten and half inches of her. I really like the way she turned out. And here is a close-up of her face.

Bunch O' Bunnies

Group shot of my newest for spring-bunnies by the bunch. Talk about multiplying bunnies. They might even out number the dust bunnies.



Close up of some bunnies. Notice the cute whiskers and perky bows.



I couldn't resist some fun shots. I rummaged through my kids' old toys and found this cute playset.

Plushie Group Photo

I just listed these cuties on Artfire. They insisted I post a group photo before they get adopted out to different homes.

Cute Hedgehogs

The patterns for these cuties came from my Japanese craft book collection. The background fabrics are Japanese also.

In the Doghouse

If doghouses were this cute, it might not be such a bad place to be. Of course, this particular doghouse is a bit on the wee side. Scotty, who is made from a wool blend felt, is only one and a half inches long and fits perfectly inside.

Happy New Year and Happy Hedgehogs

Happy New Year everyone and happy hedgehogs. Why the happy hedgehogs? Well, my daughter has been asking for a real hedgehog for the last couple of years. You know how kids can be when they want something. But, they are illegal in Ca. So then, my daughter decided she wanted hedgehog earmuffs for Christmas. This was the only thing she asked for. So of course I had to design them. They kind of look like a green Princess Leah hair style when worn. They look very cute on on my daughter and I know she will wear them. The hedgehogs detach from the headband. This is useful if you just need to hold a hedgehog. The picture of the other hedgehog is one I designed for a swap-bot swap. He's about 4" long. I'd better mail him quickly before my daughter discovers him...

Wips

Lots of works in progress. It's that time of the year. My studio is a complete mess. There are so many piles of projects to be completed. Not only are there piles of unfinished projects but there are piles of supplies everywhere. Fabrics, ribbons, threads, beads and patterns make a colorful collage. Now only if I can only find what I need, when I need it, that will be an accomplishment.

Latest Pin Design

I love creating new designs. This is a picture of one of my latest pin designs. She's about 2" tall. The fun thing about this design is the beading free flows based on the design of the fabric. You'll never be able to make two the same. As well as designing new pins, I've been working on some new softies. If time permits they should be done in a couple of days.

Almost Black Cat and Friend

The black and pink (not very Halloweenish) cat and his companion the elephant are the latest of my creations. This photo doesn't do justice to the elephant's nose. It has a very nice curve at the end. I have more variations in the works for this basic pattern which I hope to share soon.
