The adventure of creating a stuffed animal business. Journey to the Rock Tree. Along the trail I passed this tree. You'll notice that the tree has a rock in it's embrace. It just continued to grow, elevating it's new companion along the way. I have shown this photo to a number of friends throughout the years and it has never been received with much enthusiasm. I was always surprised because I. Links to this post. OK I will forgo my mad rhymes for now. Do I care about what I'm allowed to do? I've been bac...

The adventure of creating a stuffed animal business. Gettin' the Old Hairy Eyeball. But let's get back to business. My wonderful friends, Kris and Scot, commissioned me to make a Star Bellied Sneetch for their son's Birthday. I loved the design process. The beak is a little oversized but I think it adds to the comic cuteness. I hope Kris and Scot agree. Links to this post. I finished Roger the Pocketdile today. I hand stitched the pocket on. Links to this post. They will all become creatures. I can't...

The adventure of creating a stuffed animal business. Last week I had a little extra time and plenty of stock made so I decided to do design work, which I love. I made a new doll. This one is a different pattern for the head. It is much more 3 dimensional and I was excited to see how it turned out. This isn't the final outfit for the doll. This is practice set #1. I love how every little detail effects the feeling of the doll so much. I have a lot to learn and I like that. Links to this post. Since I've b...

The adventure of creating a stuffed animal business. If you are familiar with the Eugene Saturday Market. This entry may be redundant, but then again, maybe not. Fortunately, as far as the Saturday Market is concerned, I was totally wrong. There are the token hippies selling hemp woven doo dads, sure. But the Eugene Saturday Market is filled with a wide array of styles and I find it very inspiring! Links to this post. Links to this post. I had a really nice and productive week here in creatureland. I...

The adventure of creating a stuffed animal business. So the simple monkey. It is cute with it's big head and small body. It is simpler than the 'regular monkey' in that it has no feet or wire in it's tail. It's ears and legs are not separate pieces, they're just part of the body pattern.

The adventure of creating a stuffed animal business. I Guess I Better Blog. I haven't been blogging because I haven't the time. I still don't have the time but I thought a quick update is in order. I'll give it to you in a list/stream of consciousness kind of way to keep it brief. Sew 40 pairs of bloomers for Michele. Costumes for me-utility belt with bustle, finish hatter jacket, make black bloomers, new feather for my cap, and a no sew design for my staff shirt. For the wedding to come I plan to make a...

The adventure of creating a stuffed animal business. How to Develop Self Discipline. We don't ask these kinds of questions and it is rhetorical in theory. Still, somewhere in the basement shadows of my mind, I secretly ask. Links to this post. A Little Faux on the Fur. Maybe this will be my sweet product, the one to get me through the thin times. I've been looking for something I can make fast enough to be able to sell for $5. These little babies go for $3 bucks! It's my sticker, if you will. I also made...

lelu's world: Dollface, etc.
http://leluscreatures.blogspot.com/2010/05/dollface-etc.html
The adventure of creating a stuffed animal business. I've sold at Saturday Market. For 3 weeks now. I'm starting to develop a swing, I think. It's a hippy version of hurry up and wait. I'm glad there are lots of interesting people to talk to. Also there are infinite variations on people watching. Everyone goes to the Saturday Market at one time or another. I bring tasks to accomplish while I sit for 8 hours. My big one this week was to finish embroidering the face of doll #1. Dan jones: daily records.

lelu's world: Nice Week
http://leluscreatures.blogspot.com/2010/05/nice-week.html
The adventure of creating a stuffed animal business. I had a really nice and productive week here in creatureland. I made 12 cuffs, 4 finger puppets, and 5 cat-o-pii (or cat-o-pods as I'm told). It recently occurred to me to make cyclops cat-o-pii of which I am very pleased. One of them already has been featured in an Etsy Treasury. I'm in love with this group of cat-o-pii so I'll show a couple of them off. I've also been getting into making them with one giant eye and one smaller eye.
