Peppermint Monsters

Peppermintstick Monsters..... This is how I thought of them.... I got way ambitious last night and was overwhelmed by all these fabrics and ended up with a real monstrosity. Like more is not more but...well I just couldn't stand to look at this craft gone wrong so I cut off the great stripey legs and then thought up the Peppermintstick Monsters!

I'm having real fun packaging these guys!

Sugarplum Monsters

New sugarplum Monsters. I am simplifying their design. Sometimes simple is better. I am using new fabric for these. Sometimes I need to work with new fabric because of my inspiration. Also I am showing how I am packaging them. I love adding a bit of pink fluff !

Fritz Sugarplum Monster

Fritz is a sugarplum monster. That's what I am calling my elven capped monsters in candy colors.

Things to come...

if I can manage to take a decent photo. :D
These are some of the little sugarplums I am working on. They don't all have stuffed heads yet, but I love the color.

New works soon

I have a whole new colorful bunch coming soon. I am inspired by Christmas now. Not just red and green, but all of the candy colors of The Nutcracker and holiday illustrated childrens books. A wonderland of color. Funny how I don't have any pics though, :D. Today I am going out hunting for fabrics and goodies.
November is going to be a hard working month, I can't believe Christmas is around the corner!!

Fun Blog...Gloomy Sunday

Oh, I love these old covers :) Plus I used to read Victoria Holt! :D Lots of gloomy weather, gloomy houses, gloomy moors. Perfect!
I added the link to the side.

I made them a story

These are Monsters Finnigan and Toulouse.
Monster Finnigan met Monster Toulouse in one of Paris's underground tunnels. It was in that dank dark place that Finiggan told Toulouse how he came to lose his left leg. And from then on both had become inseparable.

MOnster Finnigan comes with a spool :D
