show and tell
Here’s a little Sunday show and tell today of the critters I’ve been working on (photos taken by Fauna).
Last week I made 10 of these large owl pillows from my vintage sheet collection. My sister Robin was gifted the green one below for her couch; she really deserves it for the help she has been to me in starting up my new business!
I found this fantastic bright green vintage suitcase to hold some of the owl pillows for my “pop-up shop.”
New seahorses and star-nosed moles; I’ve been told recently that I need to make daddy seahorses with pockets holding babies, indeed that would be cute 
!
I made this colorful hedgie with big eyes, turns out that he likes to party!
In the next week or so I hope to update my Etsy shop but I have one more indie fair in Columbus (Summer FLEA) to do next weekend, which I will be lugging all my stock to.
“That’s all.”

Love those vintage sheet owls. And that green suitcase…what a find!
So glad I have discovered your blog, it is a great resource and your photography is beautiful. Love the owls and your use of recycled items, thanks for sharing!
I love your fabric choices, everything is so colorful and perfect
I really have to go back and look around some more; I was just going to comment on the beautiful photo’s but now I want to go see all the cute stuff.
I am a brand new visitor and a new follower, I hope when you get the chance you will stop by and say hello.
owls and vintage sheets…. two of my favorite things! they’re gorgeous! you’re very creative.
I saw the owls that Lisa C. below was talking about in the suitcase….Cute but…. I reallllly Love yours wayyyy better… They are so adorable even displayed in a suitcase! Can’t wait to see Daddy seahorses with babes in the pockets…what a cleaver idea! Best to you…Mica
Lisa, your work is truly amazing. Look how much you have done in less than a year! Your new pillows are adorable, and I love that you manage to keep coming up with new products. A daddy seahrose with babies is a clever idea!
You ALWAYS amaze me with your creative talent!!
oh my lisa, look at those seahorses!!!! cute cute cute! and of course, the owls are soooo lovely. can’t wait to have mine fly on over here so we can love forever
Those are all so cute!
The vintage sheet patterns are great, I can smell that only vintage sheet smell that is so unique to great worn cotton! Owls seem to be hip, I am seing them around and my kids are talking about them lately too.
Love the new creations!!!! So cute!!!
those are such great happy and summery owls. love them!! love their happy eyes.
we are in WV having many outdoor moments. it’s wonderful to have the windows open in the house and actually feel a cool breeze.

Oh my gosh, I love those owls! They look so great in that green suitcase.
How stinkin cute your softie zoo is!
I love those owls….. of course vintage sheets are on of my favorite things
Very very lovely creations!
Your hedgehog makes me absolutely *swoon*! So much goodness there!
Wow, these are absolutely fabulous! I am your new fan from India
they are absolutely gorgeous!! all of them!! you do amazing work!!!
Oh, my, those owlettes are ADORABLE! I want a whole flock!
I love your new plushies! They are adorable! And my daughter has a hedgehog so she loves yours!
xo Erin
I just love that little hedgehog, he’s adorable! I think I need to swing by your Etsy shop and start my Christmas shopping early for my kids
Good luck at the fair, I think you’ll do great!
I want a seahorse too! I have a baby due in Feb… just let us know when you put them up on Etsy.
Totally jealous Robin got the green owl – he’s my fav. But really, they are all cute. I love them so much, Lisa. Way to go!
Okay, so I’ve totally made an owl just like those ones. And I knew I had seen a suitcase with owls in it before…on the blog where I got the pattern! Was that just a coincidence? I love your seahorses, by the way.
hmmm, I made my own pattern for the owl pillows, put darts in them too (new skill for me). There are so many like minds on the internet.
Okay, the one I made isn’t exactly the same. It has ‘wings’ and there aren’t any darts, lol. The eyes and nose are placed a little differently, but they are so similar! Oh, well, I guess that’s just what cute owls look like.
the owl bedsheet pillows are the best thing ive seen you make. if i saw one of those at a fair, i’d buy it. xx
The pillows are the easiest things I’ve made so far. They take half the time to make too, not as fun creative wise as my other plush.
Oh my, they are soooo cute. No pressure but I’ll take a seahorse whenever you have the time. Her birthday isn’t until October so I’ve got time. I just like to be prepared because you can never tell with shipping to Alaska. I’ve been real lucky so far. Great luck to you at your upcoming fair!
Hi!
These are such beautiful creations! Wow:)
