Slacker

Okay, as usual I've been a bit of a slacker on my posts for a bit here. I have been busy though - I've been working on my new basement studio, designing pieces for a few shows this year, keeping up with orders, etc. Oh, and guess what! I'm going to be in the next issue of Stuffed! What is Stuffed you ask? It's only the most awesome magazine chock full of amazing plush artists! Run on over to your favorite book store and grab a copy - you won't be disappointed! The issue I'm in will be out later this year. Don't worry, I'll let you know when it is available ^_^

I've also busted out my sewing machine and tried a few new things with it, including a Mr. Toastee zip pouch (as pictured above). These will soon be available in my etsy shop ^_^

Yummy Pancake on Fierce and Nerdy

w00t! I just found out that Yummy Pancake will be mentioned on the Fierce and Nerdy blog on Wendesday, Feb 25th! Make sure you stop on over and check it out ^_^

How fitting, as I am both fierce and nerdy ^_^

ps - my awesome mittens were made by Love & A Sandwich....aren't you jealous?

You Can Call Me Mr. Nannerpuss

After many people told me that Nannerpuss on the Denny's commercial reminded them of my Nr. Nanner character, I decided to take a stab at a Mr. Nannerpuss.....pictured here on a stack of Mr. Toastees, not pancakes ^_^

The Adventures of Mr. Toastee and Friends blog is in full swing!

Make sure you stop by the Adventures of Mr. Toastee and friends blog to see what kinds of shenanigans Mr. Toastee and his Yummy Pancake buddies are up to!!

Mr. Toastee's New Years Resolution

Here is my submission for the Plush Team Jan/Feb challenge - a drunk Mr. Toastee with his trusty bottle of Jagermeister. I had to create a plush with a new years resolution theme. I struggled to come up with an idea, so I asked Mr. Toastee to share with me what his new year's resolution for 2009 was. He was quite the party animal in 2008, even giving Paris Hilton a run for her money! Needless to say, Mrs. Toastee was not too fond of his partying, and it almost ended their marriage! Thank goodness they were able to work things out, and Mr. Toastee's resolution for 2009 is to cut down on his drinking and not to party as hard. He doesn't want to end up on Celebrity Rehab!
