I've been busy brainstorming and getting my pieces made for Plush You this October at Schmancy in Seattle. I have 2 done so far and anticipate finishing the last one before I go on vacation. Here's a sneak peek at the piece I finished today. I have been throwing this around in my head for awhile now, and finally decided to give it a go. I was uber happy that it came out exactly how I wanted on the first try! Any guesses as to what it may be?

I just want to thank everyone who came out for Crafty By Nature this past weekend on July 5th! It was great to see everyone, and it was such a beautiful day to hang out on the woods and check out everyone's awesome handmade goodies!! I am so glad that some of my plush found new homes with some of you ^_^

Yummy Pancake - The Early Years
OMG!! My mom just sent me this old photo of me rocking a little sewing machine. See, I started crafting at a very early age. The photo is circa the early 1980's. Look at how impressed by cousin is with my sewing abilities ^_^

Squishy, Fuzzy, Furry Wookie Pillow
I am so excited! I finally got my final piece completed for the Stitch Wars show this year! It's a Wookie Pillow, made of faux fur and fleece. It's super soft and hugable! I had so many ideas of things to make for the show, so to help myself not go crazy, I choose a theme for all of my pieces...can you guess what it was? I'll be sending along The Wookie Pillow, 8 Wookie Cookies(that squeak), and a Mr. Toastee Wookie plush to Stitch Wars. All of these pieces will be available to purchase there(and online at their website)! Make sure you check out the Stitch Wars website and blog for more info!

Woohoo! I am so excited! There is a nice piece about me and my creations in the Summer 2009 edition of STUFFED magazine! It's such an honor to be featured in a magazine with so many other talented artists! There's also a few of my fellow Plush Teamers in the magazine, as well as a nice article about the Etsy Plush Team and another great article about Plush You! It hits the stands on July 1st, so make sure you pick yourself up a copy. You will be blown away at all the talent packed in there!
The picture above is a ceramic unicorn I painted to look like a Mr. Toastee My Little Pony ^_^
