we haven’t really had much winter this year but February is most certainly winter, even though I saw my first crocus out front last week.
I love complementary color combinations!
Lying in the sun- making use of a neighbor’s construction project for a background.
I told you it was going to be all over the place this month! So now here are 2 fish-
Yes, I really do mean to get these into my etsy shop soon. Hopefully tomorrow. A neighbor walked by as I was photographing. I got her to model for me-
It turned into a beautiful day after pouring rain all day Wednesday. I love fall.
I’ve got a lot going on in the studio right now. There are many piles of partially finished pieces. I cut out and sewed up 19 fish last week. They will gradually be stuffed and finished during the next few weeks (months?).
Here are the first 3-
The sweaters in the top and bottom fish were given to me by Abby– Thank you friend! My goal is to keep the Etsy shop full of new things. The Holidays are around the corner and it is crunch time.
I will be putting these into my Etsy shop at some point in the next few days.
6 fish-
I needed some new fish. Between sewing fish faces, I’ve been sewing breasts onto lady dolls. I’ve got the air conditioner installed but I need a really good audiobook to listen to. I’m still feeling like I’m running on slow motion here.
I have finished up a new batch of fish.
this little bit of Sesame Street goes round and round in my head when I work on these.
2 snowy tiny worlds-
I put tiny wreaths on the front doors.
And I finally got around to photographing the fish. They have been done since the weekend- 8 of them.
The herringbone school-
and the others-
I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I am taking all these things to my market this weekend and will then have a big update in my Etsy shop on Monday. If you are interested in something special, I can let you know on Sunday night or Monday morning if it is available.
Hey! I’m in Chicago!
4 fish-Â the last of the things I finished before Renegade Craft Fair.
Please go over to the Renegade site and vote for your favorite in the Hoot Show- sometime over this weekend. All the info is HERE. Of course I’d love it if you voted for me, but when I stopped into the Gallery today for a sneak peek, I saw some amazing work so check it out and I will never know who you voted for!
the five fish I did last week.
First some notes- Next Wednesday (4/14) is the next Crafty meet-up-Â details here. All are welcome, bring a friend.
I want to schedule the next class for June- Tiny world or Fish. Sometime between June 14 and June 28. Any interest? Ideas? Preferences?
This is my desk this morning-
I admit defeat. Sometimes you just have to back away from what you are doing and turn to something else- since curling up in bed and moping really isn’t an option in my life right now. I will probably come back to the various girls in a few days. After 2 attempts to photograph and then tweak a doll who turned out to not be finished after all, I am working on some fish.
I had something I needed to try out with some 2mm felt (that is twice as thick as standard felt).
I brought my new fish over to visit my friends next door. They both liked the blue fish. I’m rather partial to the red one myself.
Things got silly rather quickly.
