Come and see me this weekend at Urban Craft Uprising!

I've been a busy bee for the past month, sewing away on a bunch of new and holiday designs for the winter Urban Craft Uprising craft show at the Seattle Exhibition Hall near the Space Needle.

Here are just a few of the in-progress shots of the new work I'm creating, so if you are in the Seattle area and looking for unique holiday gifts, come and check out the show- it's got an amazing lineup of artisans with a diverse range of products for sale. Come and support your local makers and small businesses, we'd love to see you there! For a list of vendors, click here.

If you'd like to see the finished product, I'll have pics up on my blog and instagram account next week, or you can come and see me in person at the show! I'm at booth #141, in the row under the stars on the right side as you come in the doors; and next to the wonderful food vendors. Yum! Lucky me! :D Okay, that's all for now- back to sewing!

Oh, and if you are curious about seeing all of the art for the FOE Gallery's Common Threads show, head on over to their website, the work created for the show is terrific!

Holiday Cats and Dogs

I decided to upsize my Dog and Cat designs, and since it's time to start getting into the holiday spirit, I decided to make these larger and smaller dogs and cats in wintery as well as Christmassy color schemes.



All are made from super soft fleece and cozy printed flannels, perfect for snuggling with during the winter months. ;)





The Dogs and Cats are waiting for you in my etsy shop, so why not head on over and take a closer look? :)
Have a great weekend everyone!

New Holiday Rabbits

Murphy the Magnificent puts on his wintery tuxedo and is a very popular magician in Lapinville, not because he is a fun and outgoing Rabbit (although he really is), but because of the amazing conclusion of his magic act, where he pulls a Santa out of his hat! This trick never gets old, and makes Murphy in high demand for Christmas parties, especially since the Santa always has some small presents to give out to each guest.



Emma O'Hare, on the other hand, is a pretty shy Rabbit, but she is just as well known in Lapinville as Murphy is. This is mainly because of the fantastic ice and snow sculptures that she makes in her yard, which inevitably cause traffic delays in her neighborhood, as all the residents drive by on the weekends to see her wonderful creations. In the winter her cheeks are always a nice rosy color due to all the time that she spends outdoors in the cold.



Murphy and Emma are available in my etsy shop if you are in need this winter of a good magician or someone to show you how to ice-sculpt. ;)
More Christmas plush to come later this week!

Snow Angels

Now available in my etsy shop- the Snow Angels! :)
I love snowmen, and I wanted to do something a little different than the usual snowball types. That's when the idea of adding wings hit me. The Snow Angels are responsible for getting everyone excited for winter and winter activities. They fly around invisibly and whisper suggestions for winter fun in our ears. The large plush are around 8-10 inches high, while the little ones are around 5-7 inches high.

We have Charlie, who is the Snow Angel that inspires you to get out that toboggan and hit the steepest hill in town,


and Camille makes sure that there is warm and comforting hot chocolate to welcome you home after hours of outdoor winter fun.


Freddie whispers in your ear and gives you the idea to start an epic snowball fight,


Josie gets you to pull out the skates and hit the ice for some figure eights,


and last but not least, Paulie is the one who inspires you to go outside and make the biggest snowman you can.


Needing some winter inspiration? Head on over to my etsy shop and take your favorite Snow Angel home today. :)

The holidays are coming!

Yikes! That time of year already- where did the time go? I have made some new items for the shop, as well as re-listed some goodies from last year. We'll start with our favorite Vampire duo of Victor and Vittorio- all dressed up for the holidays and ready to party.



These Rabbits are all ready for winter and the upcoming holiday parties.
Clarence is a hard working rabbit who owns the local hardware store. There isn't any tool he doesn't know how to use. He loves waking up a little before sunrise and watching the sun come up before he heads off to work. He's dressed for winter in his warmest plaid jacket.


Holly works in the Lapin Botanical Gardens. Her botanical specialty is flowering shrubs and trees. She lives with her roommate Ivy in a cute condo not far from the gardens. Holly and Ivy never get tired of each other, even though they work and live together. The gardens are so large that they often only see each other at lunch time. Holly is dressed up for the company Holiday party in her favorite dress and holly brooch.


Nick is the new guy in town, VERY confident in himself and his fashion sense. You can tell this by the way he stands and the expression on his face. He's dressed in his favorite winter ensemble. Although new in town, Nick already has a reputation as a "Player". ALWAYS looking for a good time, Nick is popular with the ladies: "How YOU doin?"


You can find these and many other plush in my etsy shop, and there will be more holiday and Christmas items coming soon!
