Well I finally finished little Jerry. He has taken longer than any other critter, not because I couldn’t make him…..oh no, because of etsy, I really need to stop posting why is it so addictive? I mean good god it’s not helping my productivity at all.

Anyway do you like Jerry? I need to start on Tom soon.

the Pink Panther, the rinky dink panther (what on earth is rinky dink anyway? you don’t hear so much of that anymore)

I like him and my husband (a.k.a my harshest critic) says he is my best critter yet.  High praise indeed.

On another note I had my hair cut finally.  So I am back to having it short and it is a million time better.  I look less crazy cat woman now.  So here is my donation for locks of love….

It’s nice to think it will do some good for someone.

Snoopy dance……..

He is writing the great American novel.

A friend of mine keeps getting me in trouble for making stabbies that are not original to me,  but I really enjoy making things that have to look like something (if that makes sense).  I mean it’s harder to make something look exactly like something that people know and love than something made up.  One little detail can make the little critter look completely wrong.

But I am currently working on new creations so bear with me Matt.

Another new creation. It’s scarey Papa Lazou.

I’ve always found it rather amusing that people are so scared of clowns…..maybe it’s all Stephen King’s fault but anyway here he is….

I guess he’s scary but I love him anyway.

yaaaaaaay baby!!!

This is Bella……

.

Bella is a bit of a crazy cat lady. She is always in her white terry cloth bathrobe and always has her gray hair up in a french twist. She has lots and lots of cats but Mr Pendlebottom is her favourite. He is constantly clawing and wailing at her to be picked up. Don’t believe me look…..

aww he loves his mama.

I really enjoyed making bella and mr. pendlebottom they took me two days in total but I put so much detail in to them.  Bella is fully string jointed and she has her underwear on underneath the robe.  Mr Pendlebottom has a string jointed head so he can be posed easily around Bella.  I made the robe from a white handtowel.

I think I am going to make a series of characters like these guys anyone have any suggestions?

This is walter my pink pawed little ginger friend. He’s a little odd though because I made him in the style of a teddy bear. I really liked how he turned out. It gives him a primitive, folk art kind of look and that is something I think I’ll try more of.

This guy I made for fun, truth be told I had the weirdest dream a few nights ago. I was being chased by storm troopers and wookies down a long space craft corrider and everything was needle felted………weird huh? I told you I was obsessed by stabby stabby. Anyway he is pretty cool and I can’t believe he is my 30th creation.

No no I am not (for a change) talking about my cats I am refering to these –

These came about because I so desperately need a haircut it has ceased to be funny, but I refuse to get a crappy tide me over cut like I did last time. So until I can cough up the funds for a decent cut I made these little beauties. They look really cool in my hair and I am going to make them attached to slides as well for shorter hair.

I had a really good idea last night (at least I think so) I think it’s because I’m so obsessed about doing a craft show and wanting smaller affordable things to sell in large amounts. It’s these cute little guys

My original thought was for use as bookmarks but they look really cute hanging up or just displayed. Needless to say I’m feeling happy with myself. I really want to make loads of different animals all different colours and sell them for under $10.00 maybe $6.00 to cover the wool and time. Turns out my cats like them too and they (so far) are holding up to the abuse quite well hmmmmm.
