These are so neat.  Beaver & cat softies from Russia!  (Weak wrists)

My sister-in-law claimed the lamb softie, who moved to her new home last night.  I gave her a bow and added lace and buttons to the skirt…she is greatly improved.

Well that’s unfortunate.  I attempted to make the “portuguese plaid” dog from the softies book.  I only stuffed it partway and obviously didn’t finish it because it’s just…the head is too big and it’s puffy and weird.   

hannakinart: I altered this giraffe doll to be auctioned off at a charity auction for the not for profit organisation Seven Women which provides skills, training and employment for disabled women in Nepal to become self sufficient by making craft. It was much fun! All the profits went back into the charity. A giraffe turned into a dragonesque/fantasy creature is definitely the best makeover ever.  Ahh, so cute, so awesome!

I finished the lamb softie.  Actually it was done for a while, but it was supposed to have pom poms around the ears, and mine didn’t turn out that great.  Whenever I try to make them they can easily be pulled apart, no matter how tight I tie them.  So, naked ears.The pattern is from the book I Love Patchwork by Rashida Coleman-Hale. She’s sitting on my reupholstered chair!

I’m currently loving potted fabric plants.  I’m attempting to make my own!

These are awesome!

Sometimes complicated things disguise themselves as easy looking.  I tried out this adorable alpaca softie last month, and uh, well, you can see the results.  
First I tried felt.  Looking at it now I suppose it isn’t too bad, but it still had issues.  I tried again with fleece and it looked like a furry diseased loch ness monster (the ears were too small to turn).
Silly alpaca.
