I made another barn owl ....

and i took a better photo, too ...

molly owl flies to new home ....and gets a job!

no more will I gaze upon this hand-stitched plumage ...



or see this charming face peeping out at me from all manner of places ...



gone is the guardian of books and children small ...



and so molly got one last hug, and was sent on her way, across the pond ...



then we were lucky enough to be given these - oh dear, those don't look very nice!



but these odd objects were in fact some owl pellets found in the wild, and contained delicate treasures ....



and then molly arrived at her new home, safe and sound, her new perch looks just right !



Molly-across-the-pond sent work of her new job ...



she looks quite the part in this lovely autumnal library display ... oh look, we have some Jane Hissy books at home, including 'HOOT'!



just have to keep very still in here, admits Molly ...

Shoes, shoes, shoes,

It has been a long time since I posted here, but wanted to share this...,

I had an idea in my head to make a softie that was shoe shaped.  I've been thinking a lot lately about inanimate objects in fabric rather than dolls, animals or creatures.  The shoe was not easy to come up with a pattern for, but this is the closest I've got to how I imagined it to look, there are some more images here.

new Stitches in new ways

So I've been working on new techniques for making my Stitches stuffed animals. I'm still making some with fully handsewn eyes and faces, but I'm also making them using the sewing machine to attach the eyes .

To denote the difference easily, I'm naming the ones that are slightly less handsewn.
The one above is named Elliott Stitches .
The one below is named Christopher Stitches .

It took a little while to get used to making them differently, and I'm still figuring out how to make them this way but the amount of time I save is amazing. And I think the effect is pretty nice , as well. What do you think?
Here is one of the more handsewn ones for comparison ...

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???
