The Owl is the Center Square

While I totally support an adult carrying this bag, it's also quite suitable for the kidlets.

Experiment: Collaboration Kids' Scarf

$30 + shipping.

My mother wove this scarf by HAND on her loom, then handed it off to me.  I designed and affixed the owl appliques.  We've sold 3, and the remaining two are on Etsy.  We can make more!  Just ask.

Freaking Cute: Woodland Creatures Experiment

VERY EXCITED about this little family.  I designed them all by myself (no small feat as I can't draw worth a damn).

Mixed feelings about the porcupine... I have a home for this gal but I dunno if I wanna make any more of her.  IT TOOK FOREVER.  Gonna experiment with a different fourth animal for the tribe.

Overall assessment: even the non-porcupine related animals take sooooo long to make y'all.  They're $60-80 each in order to pay myself for the time spent.  So if you're interested in purchasing one-a these 100% handmade cuties, shoot me a message!

Busy busy busy.

So, I haven't updated in awhile.  Sold some stuff (on the cheap - still can't live off the craftiness), tried to get a bunch of gifts out the door (with varying success), came down with slow-moving, lingering, annoying cold.  Simultaneously working my regular job at the restaurant.  Really, I need to get out of that whole service industry deal before I lose my mind.  Anyway.

Experimented with my own woodland creature pattern 'cause I can't sell the Aimee Ray version, figured out how to embroider on black, got some awesome new fabric.  Here's some photos for now.  More soon.  Happy New Year!

Cute baby toy alert

Every once in awhile I make something and I'm not quite sure of the outcome.  I stitch it all up, turn it right-side-out, and then I'm like, "Holy shit, that's freaking cute."  I am immobilized by the cuteness.  Like I can't stop staring at it.  And I don't even normally gravitate towards the cute.  But this tiny plush fleece stuffed owl I made?  CUTE.

I'm not keeping it.  This little guy is a gift for a friend's toddler.

Sadly, it's not my pattern, so I cannot sell.  Once again I must give credit to Aimee Ray and her book Doodle-Stitching.  (I tell ya, that lady has the market cornered on the cuteness.)  However, I sent this photo to kmatw, and asked her if we could come up with something - a fleece-y plushy 2-D animal, and she is totally working on a design.
