A Doctor Who Wedding Gift.

In March I was approached by someone who was going to attend a wedding of a family member in the UK. The Bride and Groom are huge Doctor Who fans as am I. The client originally wanted a Tardis that she could open and put money into for the couple's honeymoon in London. After talking a bit we decided to put a couple representing the Bride and Groom who would fit inside the Tardis and would travel with the Dr. for their honeymoon.

The Tardis plush I already make is squishy but this one had to have a compartment so some modifying had to be done. I had to put structure inside the walls. But I left the top part plushie.

The bride is a red head like the Doctor's current companion! The dolls are about 3 inches (7.5 cm) tall. They are the smallest dolls I've ever made!

See they fit right in!

The wedding was this weekend so I can finally show these photos. I was afraid they might show up on the internet somewhere and spoil the surprise. I had a lot of fun making this but it was a one time thing and I won't do it again cause it was hard! I hope the happy couple liked it!

Missing A Great Opportunity.

I was contacted thru etsy about having my plush specifically my Tardis plush at a Tech Expo. They have a great Virtual Vendor program so I wouldn't have to physically be there which is great cause of my chronic illness. I was so excited about it and worked hard to design other techy type plush to send also. Then I started to have some of the worse pain I've had in a while and I realized I just couldn't consistently produce in the time frame so I had to bow out.

I'm pretty sad about it cause it was a great opportunity to get my plush out in public. I'm hoping I'll be able to do it next year. Anyway I thought I'd show some of the designs I did before they get packed away.

Was going to have Blue and Pink Tardis'

Retro Geek Guy.

Also still on paper I have a Modern Geek Guy and Modern Geek Girl.

Robot.

Was going to do Girl robots too. I was also going to do stickers of all the characters and possibly magnets too.

Anyway now working on a doll for a 4th of July swap and I'll show a WIP soon!

What's Going On in Sassy's Studio?

Well it's been an odd beginning to this new year. Started it off right with a newly cleaned studio that I really haven't used cause I don't want to clutter it up again! Silly I know! And then I got sick.

Then I thought about my goals or resolutions for this year. But I'm finding it very difficult to get excited and moving on anything. So perhaps intentions are the better way to go. Intentions seem less formal and serious. If I don't actually do them them no regrets, right? 

There are several things I intend to do and these are in no particular order.

1. Blog more consistently. More likes of others work and tutorials.
     Post on all 3 of my blogs!

2. Send some of my plush creations to Stuffed Magazine for
     consideration to be published in the Summer edition.

     (this is a big one and I'm already waffling on this so we'll see)

3. Spend more time and energy on my stationery business and
     make some hard decisions about keeping it or not or going
     in a new direction.

4. Take my plush and doll making more seriously and really
     put effort into it.

5. Explore new mediums.

As a Pieces I'll change my mind on the above list a hundred times so we'll see.

Well this month I'm doing a lot of custom stationery work. More than I thought I'd have right after the holidays. That's where most of my time has been allotted recently. I'll show the items I've done on my stationery blog soon. Need to list all my Valentine items on Zibbet asap.

On the etsy side I'm working on a PDF Paper Toy of the TARDIS for those Dr. Who fans. Almost done. And will open listings for more Plush TARDIS soon.

I've been working on a new doll body design. Looking for a way to do more natural boobs and hands with fingers.

I guess I should add a 6. to my list about completing unfinished work. All of these are WIP. Still have the other 5 Alice in Wonderland plush designs to finish too! Sigh!

I have lots of Valentine type owls, penguins and etc in my sketchbook that I HOPE to do. There is also a Leprechaun plush doll that wants to be made plus I need to make a door prize for the One World One Heart Blog hop that starts at the end of this month.

So much to do and so little time! Is your January as wild as mine?

I Made My First Etsy Treasury!

 For the Love of The Doctor

I finally made my first treasury! It was fun and of course I had to make the theme my most favorite thing of all...Dr. Who!

Finished my Tardis Softie, Photos Galore!

Well I've finished my Tardis and to be honest is been done for a while but I still haven't sent it off. I'm having the hardest time letting it go! The deadline to send for the swap is tomorrow so I think I'll have to get the Girl to pry it out of my hands and off the the P.O.!

I just discovered that my swap partner doesn't have access to my blog and not being able to share it with you all is killing me! So I think it's o.k. to show since I don't think she can see it. I took major amounts of geeky sci-fi photos but I'll only share a few with you. Enjoy!

In case you don't know what a Tardis is, it's the time machine that Dr. Who travels around in. The outside looks like an old Police call box because the thing that made it blend in on Earth got stuck and then after a while the Doctor just liked it. Also it's bigger on the inside.

"The Doctor and Rose wonder how and why the Tardis shrunk"

The 4th Doctor (as a Meerkat) comes to check the situation out.

An epic battle ensues as a Dalek tries to steal the Tardis! Doctors 

4 and 10 fight together to destroy this evil foe!

The Doctor thinks it's a little small but that's o.k. 

cause it's bigger on the inside anyway!
