Airplane!

I made this airplane for Ford's birthday, he loves them! Pretty much worked off of the pattern of this book by Anna Paula Rimpoli.

ZAPHOD

My first plushie of 2011... and what a good one to start with! I made this for Sarena, who's cat tragically passed away a few months ago at 6 yrs old. Right away, I knew I had to make her a plushie of him. Zaphod is one of the cats responsible for me owning a cat now. He was "magical."

Sarena was sooo happy!


A photo I took of Zaphod when I first met him.


I'm glad he turned out on my first try :) Sometimes that's really difficult when trying out a new pattern.






And lastly, the sketch I did.

R is for Roma, P is for Poppy, S is for Stevie

My friend asked me to make some bunnies for his friends in England who recently had babies. The orange is my favorite!

Steampunk-shroom

I made this for my friend Koz because I was his Secret Santa this year. He loves Steampunk and his cat Myu. I was going to make a giant Myu doll but wasn't sure how it would turn out, so I opted to do what I do best which are mushrooms and add a little Myu via magnet :)
























































I love giving handmade things as gifts! They get the best reactions ever :)

2nd Annual Small Paperfox Swap

These are 10 ornaments I made for the 2nd Annual Small Paperfox swap. The deal is you send in 10 and get back 10 random handmade ornaments- I love it! I should have made one for myself though, forgot to... :p

Jack, the Beanstalk, & Giant-shroom

A while ago, John asked me to make some story-book mushrooms for his baby. For the baby shower, I delivered. 1 storybook shroom done, 3 more to go... The Giant-shroom is about double the size of my normal mushrooms. It was a lot of fun to work on. I love the weight of it. Then the beanstalk bends and Jack is able to climb up each leaf. When John & Maegan opened the gift, the whole room filled with gasps, ooh's and ahh's. It was really sweet! Just looking at the pictures, I can still hear the sound. This is the reason I make things. They bring so much happiness to people! I love it! :D

Jack-shroom

I created this Dog-shroom for a co-worker based off of the real dog Jack. One of my faves :)
