Cutest sushi EVER!

I can't say enough about the enormity of the talent of my good friend and fellow plush-maker, Becky of Scrumptious Delight. She is a wizard with fake fur, fleece, vinyl, food, appliances, bicycles- you name it and this lady can make it into plush form. That's why I was SO exited to see that the secret santa swap box that came in the mail for me last week was from her!

Every year the Plush Team does a swap after Christmas, and it's tons of fun seeing what everyone gets. Here's what came in my box:

AMAZING, right?! Sushi is my favorite food, and I was squealing with excitement as I unwrapped the package and saw what was in it. Just look at those faces- and the wasabi and ginger put it totally over the top. Not to mention the perfection of the wood grained fabric for the sushi board. I love it! Thanks a million Becky for an amazing plush piece of art. It's fantastic and will have a home with me forever. :D

Now I just have to figure out the perfect place to display it…

If you want your own piece of amazing Scrumptious Delight plush, or just want to take a look at other pieces that she makes, head on over to her etsy shop, or take a look at her flickr page.

Plush Team Swap- It's Otter Time!

The Plush Team annual Swap is one of the best perks of being a member of the Team. This year I got the most adorable Sea Otter from the amazing Marcy of Moons Creations. He also came with his own set of sushi, which just happens to be one of my favorite foods. The yearly Team swap is doubly exciting since it's a secret swap- no one knows what great new creation from a fellow member will show up on their doorstep!

LOVE that fuzzy muzzle of his! To see more of Marcy's awesomely cute creations, check out her etsy shop.

For my part of the swap, I created and sent Matilda Bear off to the UK to the fabulous Dawn of Treacher Creatures:

Dawn makes fantastic plush out of the coziest socks, so if you haven't been over to her etsy shop to see what she's up to lately, here's your chance.
