Many rabbits now have faces

they still need ears, a puffy tail, and someone to love!

sweet faced girls

i finished these 2 lovelies this morning. i've been meaning to make more for quite some time. i think i just didn't have the right fabric.
i went to one of my favorite thrift stores and scored a really pretty silk tie with tiny flowers on it. as soon as i got home i harvested the fabric. i went through my antique kimono fabric and picked out something pretty. patterns out ans scissors at the ready i cut the last of that linen, and poof..... with a needle and thread i stitched some sweet little eyes and called them done.

production

so i've been busily working on 2 very cute patterns for another softie book. it will be published in australia like the other 2. i know it is going to be a good one. the other softies books are super. this one is all about hand sewing and geared towards children. i have everything ready to ship off tomorrow. i really want to show pictures but i don't want to spoil the surprise.
other then that today i spent most of my time doing production sewing for jess brown. i got another bag full of dolls done. soon they will be dressed and off to adventure in the world.
the lighting isn't any good in my sewing room so i'll have to wait till morning to take pictures of the new spindle mushrooms. i heart them:) they are very noodle-y!

something for sweet william

this little batch of darlings is headed to brooklyn. i've introduced a few new colours to create this cheerful bunch. if there is one that you love and must have stop over at sweet william and give them a squeeze.

owls, cats, and spindle ponies.

i've spent the last couple of days sewing, sewing, sewing, and sewing a little more. i try to post a new batch of soft sculpture as soon as they get completed.
i'm so pleased with the colours of this batch. it always makes me smile when i see them all together.
there is more to come shortly. i have a bunch of mushrooms in the works and some sweet faced girls. i'll try to get them done while is still shining.

mushrooms for bubble

they are finally finished. a brand new batch of tiny mushrooms. they will accompany me to n.y.c. tomorrow. we are of to bubble with jess brown. i designed these tiny mushrooms to go with her oh so very sweet girls. i'll take some pictures of the booth and post them once i'm there. i saw part of the dollies dressed and they were of course stunning.
one of them had a dress i would die for.
that is all for now. enjoy these little fellows. they are just the beginning.

tiny shawls

i'm sitting in the omaha airport waiting to fly back to s.f. i had a wonderful week with friends and family in south dokota and iowa. my grandmother turned 93! she is the reason why i do what i do.
to pass time which there seems to me more of out here i knit tiny shawls for jess brown's sweet little dollies.

kitty cats

these are my new batch. this is some of the wonderful fabric i got at scrap.

mushrooms N-Q

i've just finished some new mushrooms. there are now mushroom men A-Q. that is quite a few. i have 9 more drawings to go. then there will be a family photo. i can hardly wait.
thank you everyone for loving them:)

one sleepy eyed girl

so this it. she is finished......it maybe a couple of days before i get the painting done.

new mushrooms

there are a few new shapes that have been added to the assortment. see if you can pick them out.

mushroom family

oh boy! i have had he most wonderful week. i took the mushroom men to maude on friday. i had such a positive response that as soon as i got done with work on saturday i started a whole new batch. cute as they may be on their own....in a cluster nestled on the couch they totally make me die. so here are some pictures of happy mushroom families.
enjoy!

my favorite mushroom man

spores of cuteness

i just finished 6 new mushroom men. all different shapes and sizes. oh how i would love to keep them all.
they are to maude with me tomorrow along with 5 new kitties. i will miss them.
i have 5 more on my work table. they will have to wait to sunday when i have time to play with my piles of felt.

a few more trees

trees

here is a little sample of trees and lovely colours. they average 14" in height and are weighted so they can stand. my favorite way to display then is hanging on the wll next to an owl or gnome.

rain clouds.........on a sunny day

well the last two rain clouds are done. unfortunately you can't really see the awesome striped rain drop or the shiny gold droplet. they don't have homes yet but hopefully soon.

a few more owls and a tree

these guys were hanging out in my studio so we had a little photo shoot.

rain clouds

i haven't made these in awhile. but it's been overcast and threatening to rain here for a couple of days...... just sort of blech. so i thought some happy clouds with colourful rain drops might brighten my mood. and they did. i hope they brighten your mood too.
i have two more larger ones almost finished. i may have to embroider faces on those.
enjoy.

owls always so very cute

these are my three favorite owls from my last batch. enjoy them.
you can find owls at maude and the knitterly in petaluma and nest in sanfransisco.
