seahorse and owl softies

5 Orange Potatoes — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:52:58 +0000

I have 2 art markets coming up in Columbus, so I’ve been busy busy stitching away! Here are my latest designs-

Marie Antoinette Seahorse (with winky-eye of course)

and winky-eyed hootenannies!

I was so glad the hydrangea tree was in full bloom for Friday’s Flowers (Fimby) today; I mixed the blossoms up a bit with a few stems of lemon balm. I love the light summery scent of this bouquet.

Have a lovely weekend.

wip- star nosed mole

The star-nosed mole is a work in progress right now. I gave her a drowsy eye on one side because she is sleepy from digging so much in our yard (we have a lot of mole hills).

Of course she is winking because she knows something that we humans don’t.

I plan to add claws, a tail, some flower tattoos, and maybe a bow to make up for the lack of ears.

Thank you all for the kind birthday wishes for Araina; they meant a lot to her!

“That’s all.”

street fair softies

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.”
