Fanta Tröpfchen

this little guy has been causing a ruckus in my sketchbook for quite some time. behind that friendly smile lies quite the mischievous little character :D

this is a new character that I'd like to explore. there will be Milk Tröpfchen, Juice Tröpfchen and all sorts of Tröpfchen. Btw, Tröpfchen means Droplet in German- I just used that because it's a very cute word in German and I am German, so it was fitting for this time around :)

He's my first attempt - there's still a few minor tweaks I would like to make here and there, but overall I am pretty happy. What do you think?

Lisa the Mushroom

UPDATE: Lisa found a new home and I'm so excited. She's my first sale that's not to a family member/friend/co-worker. Thank you Chelsea!!!

Lisa's favorite season is summer, because she loves to sell lemonade when it's really hot outside. She's a very happy mushroom and her life's motto truly is "if life gives you lemons, make lemonade." A true optimist. With some of her savings, she plans on buying herself a pet snail :)

This mushroom comes with a little surprise- it's crocheted and has something do to with Lisa's personality. What could it be?

and another little cutie I made from the amigurumi book

Maude the Mushroom

I made this new one over the weekend and I must say it's my new favorite. I wonder if I'll feel like this whenever I make a new one. This one is finally going to my shop- hurrah.

So Maude doesn't come with a pet friend, and it's because she's friends with all the stars in the sky. She can spot all of the constellations. Her favorite used to be the Big Dipper but now that she's older she really likes Princess Andromeda. She loves to be awake at night, because she likes to blend in and try to pretend to be a star herself. But I think she doesn't have to blend in at all, she's already a star in my eyes. :)

Maggie the Mushroom & Robin sitting on a ledge together

a new mushroom :)

so i was going to put this one in my shop, but i showed it to my little sister over our weekly webcam conversation and she fell in love with it, so... i can't say no :) plus, she hasn't gotten a mushroom of mine yet. and it matched the shirt she was wearing that day, so i think it was meant to be.

so hopefully, next time around...

Dandelion & Felix

Here's my counterpart for the swap I did with Nichol from Pillow Monsters. I had a ton of fun making this one for Nichol :)

Dandelion is a sweet little mushroom- she's 5 yrs old and her best friend is Felix the Frog. He likes to stair up at the sky and loves to hear the leaves rustling in the wind while lying down on Dandelions head. They both make each other feel safe :) Dandelion likes it when she sees people camping, especially when they make camp fires. She just loves the smell of smores! Who can blame her?! Together they are just about the cutest thing you'll ever see on the forest floor ;-)

Squarey & Princess the Bunny

I finally finished these two plushies for two special little kids. They will be traveling to their new home soon and I hope both kids like their gifts :)

Squarey is for Elliot who likes bright colors, legos, and race cars. He does not like big heads however... I can't make up my mind whether I've made him a plush that's got a big head or is only a body with with a face? Since Elliots favorite plush is a humongous duck that's pretty much a ball with a face, I thought he'd be ok with this one. I hope he likes it.
*This is based off of a Jess Hutchinson pattern.

And Princess the Bunny is for Amy. She's a sweet little girl who likes pink and pastels. Her favorite plushes so far have been a bunny, unicorn, doggy and I think this one will fight right in with her collection. She likes to play with pretend food and cook dinner and her room is pink :) I hope Amy will like what I came up with.

Piggie, Fox & Rabbit

made these over the weekend- I was proud of myself :D I finally got around to do a lot of sewing- hoorah! it was nice too because it was raining and i felt all cozy.
