A new gang

I hardly have time to think of things to write. I pretty much just have time to sew and snap pics and get on to cleaning or playing with the kids. I will try to be a better blogger!! ahhhhhhh.

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!
