Bunny Jane

Bunny Jane was picked to be one of Santa's elves in the Christmas play.

Monster Buddy and lower prices


Monster Buddy is my newest. Here's his story... "Oh crap!", thought Buddy as the bowl of Turkey stuffing he was taking a sneak taste of,fell over the edge and onto the floor.


Also, I've lowered prices in my etsy. I realize everyone is tightening their purse strings out of necessity and I still want to be able to provide cute things for Christmas. I even adjusted my shipping so if you order more than one item it is a better bargain.


Back to the sewing machine!!!

Monster Melisande

I'm in love with these tall skinnies. I think I will make myself an entire family. I feel like I'm 5
The part of me that still wants a Victorian Dollhouse to furnish :D
It's raining insanely.
The kids are playing golf in the house. They can't seem to grasp the easy breezy shot. It's like they are playing baseball.

Charming Stitches
















I stitched these strips and scraps of fabric onto paper. They are waiting to be framed. I am going to hunt down secondhand frames and paint them to coordinate. They were fun to make and I think I needed ttime away from plushies. Just a wee bit. I'll put them up on Etsy as soon as they are finished.





skinnies and minis


I made smaller and taller monsters. I love the littlest red and pink stripey one. I want to keep her. But I may sell her as a pair with the taller pink red stripey.
It's a great windy day here.
Has anyone ever seen the movie The Dreamers? There was mention of movie watching for the interiors over at Alicia's Posie blog and I totally do the same thing. Rewatch movies for the interiors :D Most of the movies named are the ones I watch, but I don't think anyone mentioned The Dreamers. It's a risque movie, sometimes too shocking for me, but the Paris apartment featured is soooooooo amazing. It's tattered and dreamy. The kitchen......the wallpaper....the lighting. Well the whole darned thing. It's really a dream set.
My Etsy is slow. It's a downer. I'm looking into getting my little monsters into some real shops around Portland.
Toodles.

Saturday

She is a wee one. Her tiny legs remind me of Christmas jammies. Do you think I am crazy for already tuning in to Christmas music?? And popping in the Nutcracker Ballet DVD for background sound?? It puts me in the mood to make cute things.
Later today I am going to start working on the Dreaming of a White Christmas look. I may have to go rent a Bing Crosby flick :D
