street fair softies

2010 June 11
by 5 Orange Potatoes

I’m participating in a local street fair tomorrow; that’s why I haven’t been around this neck of the woods lately.  I have been busy sewing softies and have found the blogging break to be really good for me. You are all still in my thoughts and I hope to get back to blogging on a regular basis soon; but sometimes life steers us in other directions.

Here are my new winky-eyed hedgehogs that are going to the fair tomorrow-

I’m also including some photos here of critters that I have made in the past year to share with the Chicago Renegade Craft Fair jury (hoping to attend in September).

Winky-eyed bunnies-

Monsters that need a hug-

Frogs and pollywogs that should be hanging out by the pond-

Large Hoot Owl pillows for sleepy heads-

Owl softies-

And my mom’s hobo style bags made from men’s ties (cell phone holder included)-

Bags and owl backpacks made from sweaters-

I really hope everyone is doing well and enjoying life. Be back soon.

“That’s all.”

    I have a question about Outdoor Mondays…do the photos have to be from Monday, or can they be from any day through the week? Thanks so much!

    Ohhh how adorable are your softies!!! I love the wink eyes ones too.
    Very precious.

    The hobo bags are cool. I’m in the process of designing some bags as well…sort of like useful art. Perhaps summer will give me the extra time I need to create.

    enJOY your time off from blogging :)

    happy day!

    I perfectly understand you, being absent myself and also done some preparings for a spring market. You’ve really developed a style of your own. Your softies are so crazy, cute and charming! – I’m sure they’ll sell well :)

    Those hedgehogs are adorable…but I have to tell you that I fell in love with the frog & tadpole the moment I scrolled down and saw their expressive little faces! You have quite a talent! Hope you have a wonderful time tomorrow at the street fair!

    I am in love with those hedgehogs. Do you sell online? We are on the waiting list to adopt another child and I’d love to welcome him/her with one of those! No rush that I know of…though we could get a call any day!

      I’m planning to list some in my Etsy shop next week. Congratulations on the adoption. I hope you get the call soon.
