MY NEW CRITTER PATTERNS

well i finally did it...i actually got around to setting up my ETSY shop..for those who have never heard of ETSY.COM its like a mini ebay just for folk who make hand- crafted stuff like bears and jewellery, you can buy my anano cafe style animal patterns on there as well as vintage fabric scraps and other pretty stuff ive got spares of...bit dissappointed with this blog page as if your reading this then you are propably the first person on the planet to do so...TELL YOUR MATES...read me often as i intend listing free toy making patterns, tutorials on quick crafty bits as well as the usual rantings of a mad crafter

these were the prototype covers for my new range of anano cafe style animals, just love the cute little critters

 

japanese bears are all the rage now and i just cant get enough of them..

OUR LINK WITH OASIS

DIRTY BUM

this weeks WIP was little dirty bum for my new set of plushie patterns

recycled mohair from extinct panda (well my neighbours dog got him really and the mohair was so distressed i just had to reuse it) I DID BOIL IT FIRST !!!

just a head and already a pain

his real name is tiny and later in this blog i'll show you my inspiration for this little tike

rude isnt he ?

finished dirty bum pattern at last !!!

well now the reason she's called dirty bum was this fabulous 1940's mothers day card that my mothering law barbara and her sister christine made for their mum (GRANNY) when they were little tots

inside

winky dirty bum alias tiny was their kitten

poor granny was in hospital on mother's day as she had just lost her baby...i found the card so moving i just had to make dirty bum as a tribute

"DIRTY BUM" IS ONE OF MY NEW SET OF SOFT TOY PATTERNS (actual size pattern pieces included)

THEY ARE $12.50 each POST FREE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD - PAYMENT IS THROUGH PAYPAL ONLY

Just had to share these photos with you, my friend Donna took these snaps for me on hol in Germany last year, she was fabric hunting (like you do everywhere you go) when she spotted this LIFESIZE tableux in a department store and freaked out, she knew i'd love it, everything is made of fabric, the drag queens, the food, even the coffee in the cups !!! isn't it wonderful ? LOL the tashes on the mens faces, and the one in red pokla dots looks like betty davis in her baby jane make-up...love to read your comments girls, this is my first blogg and i'm a sad bitch who needs friends..truthfully i dont no why i'm doing this at all ,as if i dont have enough hours in the day as it is...hubby already has to do all the cooking (clever of me eh) well he will insist on eating, why cant men live just on vintage fabric like us girls ? must be a natural selection thing like multi tasking and talking bollocks...
