Sewing Stars

a year in plush 2009!

i decided to draw on my pool of pictures for the first ever sewing stars calendar!

to be available in limited numbers both in my webshop in november and at felt club. alright... back to work! i have loads to do and make.

look out! i have a shrink ray!

i spent the weekend building my army... army of mini-yetis!

angry and happy yetis soon to adorn homes. i am obviously gearing up. seeing as i leave for los angeles in only a few weeks for felt club! i am also going to be updating my webshop the first week of november. i am still waiting for my new stamp sets to arrive, once i have those i will be sure to get the shop filled up with all the new goodies.

i also loved seeing the yeti design shrunk down, so i am going to do the same thing to a few other designs. i started with the owls...

and i have many more to come... alright, back to sewing!

scaling

i was considering making little yetis into tree ornaments this year. so yesterday i shrunk my yeti pattern, and made this little guy. i think he came out pretty well for a first try. i am not sure the picture shows his scale very well... he is 5" tall standing, only 3" sitting. i think it would be fun to have a whole bunch of them some mad some happy.

i have made my lists of "to do" for felt club & my winter shop update. i am still in denial over bazaar bizzare and craftland stock, but once i get some stuff done for my first 2 lists i will start in on those two events as well. i am shooting to update my shop with loads of stock for the holiday season the second week of November. I will show off some of the new goodies i will be offering very soon, like custom fabrics, and a new stamp set! so stay tuned...

yes, i am still alive!

i am still here... i think my brain took a major crash after crafty bastards, which was awesome buy the way! i have been temping too, so i haven't been as busy with sewing as i wish i could be. two weekends ago i did a fun new englandy thing, apple picking!

 

it was very fun, and last night i finally made an apple pie with some of my 1/2 bushel i took home...

that crazy contraption is a present from my father from a couple of years ago, it peels apples as you turn a crank. it makes making apple pie really easy! and here are the yummy results:

it came out a little soupy, but its still super yummy! i of course had to have a test slice...

i will return to crafty posting next time, but i thought it would be good to let anyone who is wondering what happened to me, that i am fine! also, anyone who is wondering where your order is, i am still making my way through the back log, hopefully by tomorrow i will have totally caught up. i hope everyone has a great friday & even better weekend!
