With a bit of a Wonder Woman look. I don’t plan on that, it just happens. She has zoo tattoos.
man in a kilt
This is a first for me- a kilt. That means pleats. Always fun to do a little research.
The kilt is removable with buttons and a hook on the inside of the waist.
And I KNOW you are all wondering what is under the kilt. Well, Spoiler Alert!!!
Sorry for the terrible picture. I was putting this post together and realized that I’d forgotten to take a kilt-off photo. I took this one with artificial light and it’s pretty bad. But, you needed to see, right?
The reason (or inspiration) for the kilt was that I didn’t like how he looked in just his shorts. The toile fabric had more stretch than the cotton I used for his pants and once I stuffed him, I thought it looked oddly bulgy in places. So, inspiration hit! Honestly, that is really how it works.
explorer fox
I imagine him out hiking in the forest.

fox with a camera
I love the color of his corduroy jacket. It works perfectly with his orange color.
He’s got a hankie in his pocket for cleaning any dust off the lens.
school boy fox
This was a fun little guy to make. He has a two-toned corduroy jacket, a bright blue backpack, and a red cashmere scarf. None of that would be good for camouflage in the forest but I love the bright colors!
And a striped sweater vest under his jacket.
all the rest of the tiny worlds
So, all these Tiny Worlds? I’ve been making them all for the Holiday window of Gather Here, my favorite local fabric/yarn store. We set it up this morning.
I will go back when it isn’t raining and there is no glare on the glass so I can post better shots of the finished window. Here are the last of the tiny worlds that I made for it.
And then I tried out some new ideas! A castle in a gold tea cup-
This one has the garden I’ve always wanted. It was a challenge to photograph all the topiary.
And lastly, I stayed up late last night to finish this one. That meant that with the rain this morning, there was no way to take a good picture. But, here it is in the window, a tiny town on a hill!
Happy Thanksgiving
and a few more Tiny Worlds!
I’m working on getting some fish and some owls into the shop. We’ll see how far I get today. Enjoy your day if you are celebrating Thanksgiving!
wow- 6 owls!
In between all the Tiny Worlds!
Two greys-
One orange scrappy-
and 3 Snowy Owls!
Some of these will go in my Etsy shop but not all. Two are already flying out to Illinois to be part of a Land Of Nod pop-up shop on November 30 in Rockford, Illinois. At least one other is slated for another project. But I have a few more partially finished that might be done in the next month. I will keep you informed when I get things listed.
even more tiny worlds
So so busy here!
