A Big Mermaid Lady

6-18-mermaid - 5

I have been meaning to get back to making big ladies (that link is from 2006!) for a long while but something else always seems to be ahead in line. Finallythey are back on the worktable after some pattern tweeking. But then this lady/mermaid needed to get made and she pushed ahead!

I will definitely be playing with this idea again- I love her! After her though, I’ve got some regular ladies that I am working on. The last time I really made any was around 2010  so yes, it’s been a while. I don’t know why I stopped after making these lovelies.

A note on my online shop– I won’t be adding much to my Etsy shop for a while. I’ve got another show in August and my inventory is at an all-time low after the Smithsonian Craft Show. But, if you are interested in buying something that I post, contact me. I will let you know the price and any other details. I can send an invoice either through Papal or Square. My email is mimik@pobox.com.

Squirrel Dress 2

Can you believe it? Two different cute little squirrel prints, perfect for my kitties!

Or maybe they are chipmunks, now that I am looking again? Close enough, right?

She has a cashmere sweater and the last little bit of a spider-webby lace shawl that I’ve been cutting up for years now.

Kitty in a Castle Dress

She is a fancy girl, ready to go out for the night. I know, you aren’t suppose to let the kitties go out at night, but she is certainly prepared!

Do you see that trim around the neck of the sweater? It is some very old trim that I had in my stash and was just the perfect accent.

6-1-kitty 4 - 1I wonder about that “Dust Proof” claim. She has a lovely evening bag to go with her outfit.
