There is this thing- I work away in the evening and I am finishing something. It is maybe 10 pm. I look and am convinced that the piece is an unsalvageable disaster. I have learned though. Step away. Give it another look in the morning. Yes, everything is going to be okay…

What is in the queue

This is my work table-

I’ve got a whole lotta man going on! Yep, there are the ones that are moving forward first, stuffed and standing. Then there are the flat ones in the front, waiting to be stuffed. There are a few that still need a few parts cut out and to be sewn up. All the stages of the tattooed men.

Hopefully I will have some finished pieces soon and the weather will cooperate for photographing them. See you soon!

Lumberjack time

Back in November, when I was trying to cram my shop for the Holiday season, I got started on a group of lumberjacks. During that crazy time of the year, I cannot go on a super focused journey doing just one design, like I just did with all the foxes. People actually want a selection in my shop! So, anyway, I have 3 lumberjacks that got put aside last fall and I am finishing up now!

Here is #1-

He has George Washington on his chest and eagles on his forearms. He also has an axe over his shoulder.

I love how his hair looks like he is being blown in a hurricane.

And how about those fancy embroidered suspenders!
