I’m not really a pink person but this pink fish is making me happy :-) And the white and gray plaid fish is a new combo for me.
Two Autumn fish!
A Pink Fish! A White Fish!
Too much going on
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.
Dog With a Pipe
He has a hat, a pipe, and a sweater vest.
And a bowtie!
This is the last dog for a while. I will try to get them all into my shop in the next day.
Out for some foraging
She is my folktale puppy girl and she is out in the forest, for a day of mushroom hunting.
Hmm, which is my “good side”?
So many hearts, so many flowers.
Side note: my dahlias are finally blooming. Not all of them yet, but enough to make some bouquets.
She has had a pretty good haul so far!
Hiker Dog
He has excellent Autumn color clothes.
His vest is a beautiful tweedy green.
He is hanging out in my jungle corner.
Blue and Orange Dog
Her clothes, not her fur!
The pup gave me such a hard time with her outfit! I made 2 shirts for her that got rejected, and a corduroy jacket. Finally we agreed on this.
Her purse has a metal bird bead, hanging from the strap.
Dapper Dog
Bold striped jacket, Liberty vest, and a leather messenger bag. Now that’s some fashion!
Birdwatching Dog
She has her binoculars and super soft cashmere sweater.
She has her special bird shirt on.
Her bag has a notebook to list all the birds she’s seen.
Cowboy Dog
Some treasures are being uncovered as I clean out the attic. I found this awesome 80/90’s cowboy fabric and figured it was time to make a cowboy dog. Then I uncovered a box of leather pieces and the plan came together.
I yearned for a fringed vest or jacket as a teen. I thought they were SO cool 🤣
He has a snack in his bag.
The cowboy hat was what I was most worried about but I’m very happy with how it turned out.
He has “surprised” ears!
A Lady Gardening Dog
She has a sunhat, a gardening apron, and a basket of flowers. Also, a soft cashmere sweater and a garden journal.
I’m having fun with the hats again. I wanted a better way to keep them on the doggie heads and I figured out I can Make a loop around the ears. More hats ahead!
She has a flowery Liberty lawn shirt. Her basket is filled with little (cloth) flowers, mostly from vintage hats.
