For My Little Packrat

My daughter is obsessed with finding bags, purses, backpacks, SOCKS, anything to put her tiny animals (mostly little pet shops) in and carry around with her. I had started making this little bag as new cup bag for her for school. But I soon realized the handbook said it had to be sewn and a certain size, well I had already started this one. So it became her new animal/rock carrying bag. I am in love with the pom poms. I have only made a few recently, but I think I need to add them to everything now! ;)

I didn't use a pattern, I just kind of made it up as I went along. :)

CHEWY the Monster

So I suddenly had this rush of creativity this evening and I went to work. I didn't even draw this one out! I just started cutting and sewing. Basically I just worked for 3 hours straight making sure he was just right. I am really proud of this guy. He is heavy because he is stuffed firmly and has pellets in his bottom so he sits right. I used fleece, fur fabric, safety eyes, a zipper and a few other odds and ends. I love the color combos on Chewy. And the fact that when you unzip his mouth there is room to store stuff in there. Not a ton of room, but a small bit. He is a one of a kind (OOAK) plush toy by me!

Splat! The weird freaked out thingie....

Not sure what he is...But I like him!

My newest creation!

Mardi Gras Ninja Bunny

Tomorrow is our monthly bunco night! YAY!

So I needed a gift to bring....What to bring to a Mardi Gras themed bunco...

Why, a Mardi Gras Ninja bunny of course!!!

She is a wild one! She already has 2 sets of beads...you know what that means!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Special Order Bunnies

Toph's teacher from 1st grade, who we LOVE (she is so sweet), ordered some stuff from me this week. She wanted something the size of the ninja bunnies for a baby girl and a baby boy. I drew out a new pattern and these two cuties came to life! I really like them. The ears aren't stuffed, so they can flop down or make them easy for baby to grab onto. They are made with soft fleece and are embroidered, so they are completely baby safe!

So here are the newest bunnies.

A Very Productive Day

I managed to start about 5 projects today and actually finished 2 of them! YAY!

One was stenciled halloween treat bags. My neighbor wanted her children's names on the bags, so i cut some stencils and painted those up. (done)

Then I had a special order from Market Day for a key fob & zippered pouch combo. The design on these is simple, but the fabric is what makes these super sweet! (done)

I also started 5 more stencils for some projects I am working on.

Here is a pic of the keyfob & pouch...

Super cute bunny. At first I was unsure of the yellow, but once I found the perfect fabric for the inside of the ears, it became my favorite!

This elephant was made as a special order for someone to decorate their baby's room. I love this fabric!

Super squishy hippo, also for same special order as above!

For the elephant and hippo, I drew my own pattern out and then made them.

Oh, and for anyone keeping track, AAFES has FINALLY graced us with the option of buying THE OFFICE SEASON 4!! Only like a month after everyone else in the world was able to get their grubby little mitts on it!
