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!

Sassy's Tribute To Molly The Barn Owl

Molly and Magee and their nest of eggs has become an internet

sensation and I, like many people have sat glued to the computer

watching and waiting for the eggs to hatch. If you know me at

all then you know I have a "thing" for owls so I decided to

make a little plush as a tribute to Molly.

First, please let me say I'm not really a professional, I just make 

fun things that I enjoy showing to people. This is my interpretation 

of Molly and my first attempt at something so realistic. She's

made entirely from eco felt and completely hand sewn. This is 

probably the most detailed piece I've ever done. Enjoy!

I'd love to hear what you think of her!

My Penguin Stickers Are On Paper Cakes Finds!!!

I almost had a heart attack this morning when I saw my pink penguins 
on this blog!!!!!

I adore this blog written by Chelsea Ling and have been a follower pretty 

much since the beginning.

On Fridays she has a feature called Flickr Fridays and chooses images 

from her flickr pool. I've been intimidated to even put any of my things 
there but have slowly started to add some of my etsy shop photos.

Chelsea has a wonderful eye and is an amazing creative person herself.

Check out her blog and I know you'll become a follower too!

Massive Computer Problems And Lots Going On!

Super long post, sorry!
I've been suffering through some massive computer problems and have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel! I've had to do some blog posts and listed etsy items from the kids crap-o-tasic computer. Don't know how many emails I've missed because of the issues. Their computer has got it's own scary issues! It all came to a head yesterday when the whole thing went down completely. Swearing, tears, a long sobbing ugly cry, a panicked dash to the office supply store and massive amounts of time, no sleep and patience have saved the day!

We are up and running again and my thoughts can now turn to important matters, like new softie ideas! Actually it's crazy time around here, even without the computer drama. I'm in the process of taking almost all my items off of eBay and moving them to my website. I'll continue to have an eBay store just a much smaller one. I'm still working on my Alice and Wonderland Plush Dolls, lots of custom birthday orders are in the works including an adult party, I've been asked about possibly doing some miniatures. The list goes on and on.

I must finish the TARDIS softie so I can photograph the crapola out of it. Don't want to give it up but I will.

Anyhow, Halloween is a ways away but I've been thinking about doing some plush that I would actually let leave my studio and sell. I have this little guy that I did for a swap last year that I would make larger and I found coordinating drawings of his spooky little pals too. 

As always time is a factor and I always want to do more than I physically can so we'll see.
