It has been a while since I posted anything! A giant yard sale happened and was a big success. Various relatives have come and gone- people want to come visit before we move to Chicago. Unfortunately the relatives brought germs and I’m just getting over a week + of nastiness. I have been getting some work done but not enough, considering I have the Paradise Show coming up in just a few weeks. Yikes!

I figured I get some fish worked up since they are relatively quick and make me feel like I am accomplishing something. First up a blue fish and a blue-green fish.

We are coming to the deadline here… tomorrow we start packing the van. I’ve got more to post though so there will be more dolls, even when I am at the show!

I am sewing sewing sewing like a mad woman- Having a deadline is very inspiring! Just a few more days until I pack up a van and head out to Northampton.

I keep forgetting to post these because I’ve moved on to the next thing…

Purple-y red fish and

And 2 Goldfish. Next up, Tiny Worlds!

Not Bluefish but blue-ish fish. These first 2 are really more green, especially the top one.

Well, maybe not gold- more russet or orange plaid.

The above fish has a head made from a knit and that always gives a much ore rounded shape than if I cut it out from a woven wool like the below fish.

These 2 don’t go together but they are what I have finished next. One sweater fish-

And one fish made from some very fancy wool-

I spent most of this month sewing up man dolls of various sorts and not a lot got finished. I wanted to end the month with a finished something and success! I’ve got some fresh fish!

Two yellow fish pillows. Of course, once I decided to finish something, I got distracted and ended up sewing more fish… I just can’t help myself.

Here is a pic of my mermen in progress-

I will be taking 2 weeks off, starting in a few days. Then, when I get back, I hope to get to work on lots of new men and other dolls too. For now, a few more fish.
