Moved the Blog!

Don't know why I didn't think of it before but I've decided to set the shop up with it's own email address and new blog associated with that email. Baby steps, lol!

Here are some of the newest toys I've been working on! These are all quick snapshots so the color is off on a lot of them. I need to get some better pictures to post, but I'm too excited to wait for the perfect pictures.

Custom baby cradle purse. I've made four of these for small friends this summer for their birthdays and all of the girls have loved them. This one is going to a friend out west. I've made lots of different colors. This was the first made with cotton yarn instead of acrylic and it turned out really cute!

The tiny baby is included and it's the perfect size for little hands. I've also thought about making babies to match, but so far I'm just using these cute little ones.

I started out using a pattern for these, but I've made quite a few changes to "fix" things that I thought should be different.

This is a custom playfood order for a friend of mine. I made her daughter a veggie set for her birthday and she asked if I could make more foods for her girls for Christmas. I'm having sooo much fun making up new things for them. I don't have a pattern for any of these foods, I just kind of make it up as I go. If I don't like how it looks, I tear it out and start over.

I've made a few of the veggie sets so far. I gave one away for a birthday present and I've got two more that I'm going to be putting up on etsy soon. I'm also taking custom orders for playfood.

The set includes a grocery sack (both this long handled style market bag and a shorter two handled grocery sack version), a tomato, carrot, corn on the cob, and a green bean.

These little airplanes are great for toddlers and preschoolers. I made one for my son and a friend's little boy who are both almost 3 and both boys love to play with them. This airplane will be up for sale on etsy soon.

What do you do with several small balls of multi-color scrap yarn? It took me a while to figure out the answer to that question. My mother in law knits mittens to give to school children who don't have any. She ends up with a ball of leftover yarn that is useless to her so she gave me a bag full of the balls. One day it just hit me, I could make assorted elephant parts, then pull out one peice at a time and make these patchwork pachyderms. They ended up being adorable! I think they'd make party favors at a jungle or circus themed birthday party. These are going up on etsy too as soon as I get some better pictures of them.

I've got a lot of other projects hanging around as ufos (un-finished objects). I can't wait to share them all with you!
