Trixie the Anteater

Hello, I added a new gal today to the JunkerJane plush family... This is Trixie...

Trixie glanced at the hill one final time. Trixie had a plan....it would take more than the usual wiles to get the motherload.

I am thinking because we have a 3 day weekend I may try to get some stuff out. All of my voodoos are gone so I think I will add more of those, too.

Isn't Fall wonderful??

Fall is here!

Around here things got Halloweeny on October 1st!! I couldn't resist masking our two little stone creatures out front. Ahhhh.
I finished a custom rooster today.
I am going to be a scurvy pirate for Halloween and by that I mean a drab authentic one and not a red satin stripe one :D I am doing it from scratch sorta...not sewing something from scratch by piecing it together from second hand stuff. Last year I did a Marie Antoinette that way. It looked pretty damned good, but I really need to set to work NOW because I usually panic last minute :D Even though I do the second hand route it isn't cheap, it still comes out spendy, but it's fun!

Unofficial Break

heya, I think I am going to take a month off. I need to have a break and come back refreshed. Plus I am trying to paint some of the rooms in the house before the real cold weather comes. I don't think I can stand living with these previous home owner colors another winter! They are not hideous or anything, just not me. Not to mention all of the kids activities and this evil 6:00 am alarm ( I have never been a morning person)
So I'll be around but just not sewing much.

:D

It's about time!

Here are two works in progress. I will probably get around to posting them tomorrow.

Do you think it's too early to put up Halloween decorations outside??? :D
I have some great skullys and purple lights!

Hurry October, Hurry!!!

September is...

still an adjustment month. Man! I have not been able to get into any groove or flow....YET. October should be better. I mean by then I will used to the pace. I had to take a "nap" today!! I mean it was the only kinda nap mudders are allowed to take, with one eye open.
I like all my drab little dudes, but I think I need to make summore colorful characters, ya know, the happy little ones that make you wanna smile. It's just that I look at my piles of fabric and then the TV and I think, damn that couch and TV are lookin' mighty fine. :D Then I sit for a couple of hours channel flipping cause I can't help myself.
September.
Be gone.

Here is Edgar, he gave me hell trying to photograph.
He isn't even one of my monster sketches that I talked about....
I am having a mini personal crisis..

Monster Edgar is thrilled with his two new fangs. Of course they are not full size yet, but he dreams of the possibilities!
I will be fine, as usual :D

Edgar....Monster Edgar...
