Feline Friends

Finally got the opportunity to create a few kitties for the shop. 
Chenille is getting harder and harder to find...(sad face). 

I've come across some shops that sell some really fun colors,
although I'm missing the crayon chenille that used to be
readily availablea few years back. 
The new chenille is much 'chunkier' and
more difficult to work with.  I'll continue my quest.

I hope these little feline friends inspire you to make something
cuddly. 

 

Creative time

My daughter and I were going through some of my sketches 

when we came across this cutie.  

She gasped 'ooooh, mom, when you going to make this one?"

I guess now that my custom orders are finally all

shipped out (silent cheer), I'll get working on some new designs.

Stay tuned! Happy Monday! -Di

Some New Faces

Little Ireland

Cuddly Giselle

I just added these cuties to the shop. 

 I've had a bit of a bummer week. I won't

go into all the boring details but it's been challenging. 

The latest riff is that my PC bit the dust 

(which is never a good thing) but to make things

worse, my back up lap-top is now struggling.

It's a good thing these little girls bring so much joy to my day. I woke

 up today with a new appreciation for the simpler things:

 fabric, needle and thread.

Please bear with me while I figure out a solution. 

I hope your week is filled with nothing by healthy, happy moments 

and no technological disasters...heehe

International Inspiration

Beautiful and picturesque China - it seems a world away

I've always been fascinated by Chinese dress and culture

I found these sweet illustrations on line.

...and then there's my doll.  I think little 'h' turned out pretty cute.

I've been wanting to create more dolls with international flare.  

 I was so  excited when asked to create a little doll for Hadley.

 Modern but still capturing her Chinese heritage.

Little Birdie...How I've Missed You!

My original 'Belle the Blue Bird' design

A new little pillow just for Sweet Emma

All done!

It's been way to long since I've been able to create

a custom pillow.  

It was such a nice reprieve working on this special one

for a dear customer.  She's welcoming a new little girl

into her life. A little sister for Landon. They wanted to 

use the same baby bedding, so she asked me to create

a girly pillow just for her precious little Emma.

I used some of the original fabrics but threw in some

adorable 'girly' prints.
