Spock Notch

This is a Spock plush that I made for a commission. I enjoyed making this one, and I like the way it turned out.

Made from felt and fleece.
happy plush plush!

Yellow Ele

This is a baby yellow elephant who is just a bit sleepy. Lucky enough it has its own blanket to keep warm.

The ele is made from fleece and cotton fabric patterned with bees and cats. Its a really cute fabric, as is the duck fabric on the little blanket.

Happy Plush Plush!

Lolli Tangleton Couchie

New in town, currently residing at www.marisagirardipresents.com, Lolli knows karate and isn't afraid to use it. Soft as she may be, she is no pushover so don't try anything funny.

Fantastic, Mr Fox

Plush You 2008 (Dolls for Friends)

Elaina and Mungee are our submissions to this year's Plush You show in Seattle. It's our first time participating in this well known West Coast show, and we are very excited to have been invited to contribute.

Elaina and Mungee headed off on their short plain ride North from our studios in Portland, and hopefully, if all goes well, they will be permanently residing in Seattle or some other wonderful location by the end of October.

Robots, kitties, and cupcakes from Cutesy but not Cutesy!

Hello Needle! This may or may not be my first post to the Needle...I have been a member for a while but have never seemed to have the time to make a decent post!

Here is my newest creation for a returning customer of mine. He asked me to create something that included robots, kitties, and cupcakes...how ever I wanted to handle those three things was up to me! I believe his intention is to eventually launch a website robotkittycupcake that is completely focused on his favorite artist's creations involving robots...kitties...and cupcakes...you got it! It's one of my favorites, I almost don't want to give him up! After all, what's better than a fella who carries around his stuffed kitty and has a cupcake heart???

Odd Dotty

I have something to share! I make teddy bears, it's a very peaceful occupation. One that keeps me slightly sane.
A little about me and my therapy... er... ahem I mean one of my teddy bears.

His name is Ol' Plain and Brownish, because he is.

But don't let the fur fool you, this little guy is deep and thoughtful. Plain and Brownish he may be... but inside beats a poet heart. He feels deeply and applies his beautiful spirit to the wounds of the sad world, he is after all a teddy bear. It is his calling. He is about 8 inches tall, (half of this is his Ol' head!) I hand dyed the mohair, and the soft cashmere wool I used on his arms and legs.

I love creating teddy bears.

Chocolate Owl

Hello there! This is Stephanie (Queen Boogie) from the boogie bee. This is my first post on the needle.org and I wanted to share one of my plush owls I finished the other night. I'm very happy with the way it came out and I plan to make a few more similar to this one (since I have a lot of brown felt to use). I started making these owls a few months ago and they're starting to take over my home, but I can't help it...there a lot of fun to make. Happy Wednesday :)

Braveheart Monkey

Hello! Just wanted to share my latest Superstar Sock Monkey: Mel Gibbonson as William Wallace in Braveheart. I have been hiding him away as he was a custom order for Valentine's Day but now the secret is out, so here he is. I had a fantastic time researching and making him - I hope you like him!


Braveheart monkey is the latest in my series of 'Superstar' Sock Monkeys based on characters from TV and film.

Syd (Dolls for Friends)

ZZZZAAAAPPPPPPP!!!! Our lights dimmed heavily.

ZZZZZAAAAAPPPPP!!!! Our lights went out.

We rushed outside to see what the commotion was to find this little beauty perched on the bottom of our bug zapper. We were so surprised, and more than a little myphed at what we were looking at. I had to actually consult my rare collection of flora and fauna reference guides to even begin to get a hint of what she was.

It turns out that she's a Northwestern reticulated Electro-Rhopalocera. In other words she is one of the only nocturnal butterflys known to exist. They, like other butterflys, feed on nectar at night, yet they are also able to store large amounts of electro-kinetic energy as defense mechanism against predatory creatures.They are harmless to humans, but could be considered harmful to other animals of a lesser size if construed as being a threat.

After tripping the breakers in our house we brought her in to feed her some mangoes and honey. She has now been with us for two weeks. We call her Syd.

G. Wilikers (Dolls for Friends)

Mr. Wilikers has long been a staple in the upper crust elite of England's finest social circles. Born with the finest pedigree and every opportunity at his disposal, he's made use of his vast wealth (he's a trust fund baby) and knowledge to create a very comfortable and regimented lifestyle. While his proper and methodical habits could be construed by some as being annoying, after a few days they become more tolerable and eventually can end up being quite comforting.

He will keep his hosts up for hours spinning wonderful tales on the history aristocratic life, and he knows the dirt on just about everyone. As a matter of fact it was rumored that G. Wilikers was deemed SO proper and SO wealthy that he was approached as being the original mascot for the world-famous game Monopoly. It was felt, however, that a more "normal and traditional" image should be used, so it was a no go. Oh well.
