New Softies, Commissions, and Dentistry




It has been a super busy couple of weeks.


Here are the new softies I posted to my etsy site this morning.



The faux fur on the monkey was brutal with which to work! It reminded me a lot of working with mohair, since I had to use a blade to cut the backing without cutting the fur. It also was slippery as all get out. AND it didn't want to go through the machine, even with the walking foot on it! I did a LOT of the monkey by hand. She came out sweetly, though, in my opinion!


The bulldog was a bit easier. He has such a funny face!



And here are the twins, back for more.


















To all of my friends who have been wondering, my youngest came through his dental procedure with flying colors, thank God. He was fine. I was the one who was nervous! Now he is showing off his "pirate" tooth to everyone. Ah, the joy of youth. He can find fun in just about anything. It just goes to show that attitude is everything.

I still don't understand how his teeth can be so different from the other two. Neither of his siblings has ever had any issues with their teeth. No cavities ever. Weird.


I have quite a few commissions coming up this month and two contest entries to finish up, so I hope to be posting some new eye candy on this blog very soon. Hope all is well!
Happy Spring! Happy crafting!
Thanks for stopping in!

Isn't that always the way it happens?


So, to bring things up to date...


Last time I was here, I mentioned how I was trying ebay because etsy was slow. Can you guess what happened? Of course! I sold something on etsy the same day that I posted the blog! Then, as I sadly watched no one looking at my pixie up for sale on ebay, someone finally bid on that. Then today, someone bought another doll off of etsy! Now I REALLY don't know what to do, except maybe a combo of both etsy and ebay.

Both items that sold on etsy were hand sewn dolls, not needle felt. Hmmm.

When I figure things out, I'll let you know. Until then, I will just muddle along, making my own idea of art and the messes that go along with it.


Thanks for popping in! Until next time, happy everything!

Next time you pop in, I should have some good pictures of my baby mermaid, still in her egg.
