Monster Tabitha

Monster Tabitha lives in a room of peeling rose chintz wallpaper. At night her little lamp glows and it's the most charming sight indeed.

This little story of hers makes me want to buy bits of vintage wallpaper to make her a shoebox house :D

I used to own so many wonderful little junk bits . Jewelery parts, paper, rusty doodads, pretty ribbons. Everything to adorn such a little box house. But as we moved I kept getting rid of them. I told myself it would be good to not have so much junk.....yeah, whatever! Now I wish I still had all of my old crap!

:D

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!!
