Yellow Squid- Hurrah!

The other day I received this wonderful yellow squid from Lexi of Orangefishy as my swap counterpart. He's my first yellow plush and I love him. Thank you Lexi!! Check out her shop here... she has some other beautiful squids there, I esp. heart the light blue one! I couldn't be happier with mine!

Also, if you want to see some more of my toy collection, check out my flickr page :)

I'm so lucky!!!

Look at all this amazing stuff Dawn sent me. I almost cried I was so happy. It was a total surprise, because I had sent her a silhouette and she offered to make me a plush, so I asked for a tree and look at all the lovelies she added. It was so thoughtful of her, because 1. owls are my favorite plush to collect- I now own 9 (I think) 2. because she gave me fabric that was even labeled "bright" and "muted" and it was so thoughtful because when she asked me what colors I liked I said anything really colorful or I really like muted colors too and 3. because she's my flickr friend and I hope we'll continue our flickr friendship

if you haven't seen Dawn's work, you must go check it out on her blog or her etsy shop

she's an amazing artist and lovely person!

1. Thank you Dawn!!!, 2. Dot & me, 3. Tallulah & me, 4. Tallulah , 5. Dot, 6. cool robot card, 7. muted fabric :D, 8. bright fabric, 9. the box

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 ;-)
