Sewing Stars

update - new plushie goodness!

in the webshop now! there are also giant squid...

where the heck have i been??

well, i was sick for like 2 weeks. which caused a bit of log jam in my life so i have also been busy. i guess that is the norm for me, though. last friday i was on my way back from the fabric store, pulling into my driveway, when my neighbor backed into me.

i then spent friday dealing with insurance stuffs, and then this morning i dropped my poor car off at that progressive concierge service thingie. they gave me keys to a rental:

they just called me to let me know i will see my car probably by the end of this week. that means i need a special musical mix for the rental car, which i have been making for the last hour.

i should be photographing merchandise for my webshop, since i have some new stuff made. i also need to make a trip to the post office, which will be much easier now that i have a car to drive... a crafty post soon!

i want my elephant!

i am still fighting this nasty cold/infection/thing. i did make this last night:

i wish i was better...there would be more sewing goodness if i was more up to it...

super bunny, up up & away!

although mr. bunny dreams of being a super hero, i am dreaming of being well again. i have been sick for several days now, and i am very tired of sitting on my couch sneezing, coughing, and sniffling. this is one heck of a head cold!! i did manage to ink this drawing, and make it into a postcard design. but that is pretty much all i have done since last thursday...which is pretty sad indeed! oh well...more plushy goodness will have to happen on another day.

bright idea? or proof i am a goof?

after changing the light bulbs in the dining room for the millionth time, (yay old new england houses...) i was thinking how easy it would be to make a plush version. so i did. i plan on making some that are different colors, and i want to add arms & legs to them, like i did for the ice cream dolls.

sometimes experiments work!

baby animals everywhere...

one of my favorite patterns to make is the sleepy bunny & blanket. i decided to expand the pattern to make other sleepy baby animals too. a monkey, kitty, elephant, puppy, & bear...

these will be part of a shop update i am working on currently. i feel like i have been sewing & experimenting a lot lately, but often my experiments are met with failure, or else i feel like i can do better. i often feel like that when i make something, its okay, but i know i can do better! so i keep on sewing...
