My 2011 Holiday Plush

Every year I make a new holiday collection. There is only one of each type of character and I don't make more so they are very OOAK pieces.  I had a Mrs. Claus planned too but time got away from me so she got cut. I have to say that these are my favorite so far. All my new Spring and Halloween plush for next year will be of this design too. These plush are between 11 and 14 inches tall (28 and 34 cm) and in my shop this weekend.

Happy Holidays!

Worktable Wednesday.

I dyed the buttons I needed to finish my penguin ornaments last night and they came out perfectly! Even color and nice and glossy. I think I'm hooked and may be doing more colors soon.

I have a new design for holiday plush this year. I finished Santa and he came out really well so I cut out all the other characters. They are waiting on the worktable for their chance to come to life. I really love working on new designs! And yes Sarah these are in my style that you like so much. ;0)

What's on your worktable this Wednesday?

What I Was Doing Last October.

I saw a post about what someone was doing a year ago. I got curious about what I was doing then too, so I took a look back. Surprisingly or maybe not so surprisingly I had myself more together and had started lots of Christmas stuff. It just makes me tired to realize how productive I used to be.

I made everything on this table except for the Santas and they are all hand sewn too.

I made some holiday owls in different sizes last year. I miss my owls. I was kind of becoming know for them and I feel like I abandoned them. Just one more thing to add to my list!

I LOVE Nutcrackers! And this was to be the first of many. I need to revisit this design cause he's a serious cutie!

This little trip down memory lane sure let me know I need to pull myself together and make some decisions about how I want to move forward. I do have a few of these pieces left which I'll put in my etsy shop soon. I need the storage space so I hope they find new homes.

What were YOU doing at this time last year?

Wordless Wednesday - Caught In The Act!

 Sleeping in my carry around bin. A big no no!

 Gotcha!

Thinking of running off with Minis! Bad Dog!

A Few Mini Plush, A WIP and A Treasury.

I decided to do some mini plush of my large Holiday Plush Dolls. So far I have a Reindeer and a Snowman. Not sure how many I'll be able to do as I have 3 large time consuming custom orders to make this week. So if you want one grab it now or custom order one so you'll be sure to get it.

As always I have owls. I think I'm only making minis right now because of time. Here's Ginger the sweet Gingerbread owl. I have several others in production and they are all Winter Holiday owls (not Christmas) that anyone might like to decorate with.

My Large Plush Chocolate Gingerbread Man is featured on a fun unusual foodish type treasury by my etsy team Team Bacon.

Working like crazy to finish the 3 prizes for my 2 Year Blog Anniversary Giveaway. Details on Friday! I have 2 almost done. Do you have any thing you'd like to see for the 3rd one?

Gingers and Reindeer Have Arrived!

Gingerbread People, Sugar Cookie People and Red Nosed Reindeer have arrived in the studio. They will be making their way into my etsy shop today. Quick sneak peeks.

 There is a snowman too that I didn't get finished last night and a Santa. All of these designs will be done in mini form for stocking stuffers/ornaments if I have time to crank them out. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my holiday plush dolls!
