here are the last 2, shown unfinished in that other post.
I called up my neighbor and asked if I could take some photos in her much cleaner, whiter, brighter house. That was fun!
And she took a photo of me with the fish-

more fish
Here is my desk this morning-
The fish in the top photo got finished before the light ran out for photos. The 2 in the next pic aren’t done quite yet.
These fish are so much fun to make. Firstly, they almost completely done on the sewing machine. My finger tips are grateful and healing from the tattoo man embroidery. Secondly, I am using sweaters and fabrics that I like, but some of them were never going to find a place in a doll- like that black and white grid and the wide stripes of the first fish. Thirdly, they are not fiddly at all. I have been concentrating on colors and shapes.
Several people have asked me about a pattern. I will give it a shot. I am also thinking about trying out the design in quilting type cotton and also recycled cotton knit fabric- like t-shirts or kids clothes knits. And, I’m going to go check out Google images for flounders as soon as I finish this post.
Yep, I’m off on a tangent here. I am sure I will get back to those tattooed men and the bunny pattern. Soon. As soon as I am done with these fish. Okay then.
visiting
I spent the morning with Abby. It is so nice to spend time with someone who is actually interested in the same things as me- the topics of our chatter included seam allowance, stuffing tools, etsy selling, reasons for blogging, recent podcasts, pattern making, photography… we didn’t let up for a second. I’ll tell you, it is a relief- no explaining! We get to the nitty-gritty immediately!
And of course, show and tell.
I should have taken a photo of all her birds and animals, displayed on her shelves. Oops!
Later, back home to work on more fish. I’ve gotten distracted from what I “should” be doing… whatever that is! Hopefully there will be some more to show tomorrow.
and a fish
I’d been thinking about this doll while I was making the men. It needed to be made as soon as I got them done.
Doesn’t every chair or sofa need a fish?
Some fishy love-
We had a fun dinner conversation the other night about whether I should take the information from this dating site article and use it for my photos on Etsy.
One week until the next meet-up– Everyone is welcome!
