today is the day!

am i the only one who is totally excite about today? why? LOST! finally is starting again today. i am thinking i might miss it though and have to watch online. i have to go to my son's therapy session this evening in chicago.. but we'll see.

and here is my latest creation.. teddykins pouch. i have been thinking about it for sometime. it is hand crocheted from red heart acrylic yarn..felt features and embroidered nose and mouth. pretty mother of pearl buttons. anyways i kinda like him.. might make one for me too keep soon.. but a pink one.. since that is my favorite color....

alterations...

i got this very cute dress from etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=15809 but it didn't fit my pullip very well. so i did some alterations so that it could fit kemi. i opened the armholes all the way since kemi has large hands and opened up the back at least 1/2 way down to accommodate her head and added a snap. doesn't she look cute? it fits pretty good too!

swap and gift...

i got a swap and a gift today. the little dress is a swap from my friend elly in singapore..it is such a cute fabric with cute trim and the tiniest buttons. all hand sewn! the little doll carminita is made by my friend rosy in mexico. it is from her own design printed onto fabric and sewn..so adorable! thanks to both of you! and huggs too!

oh go see rosy's shop micasita link is here on favorite esty shops list!

another owl softie

felt the need to make an owl yesterday so here is george. i used orange fleece and japanese mushroom and dots fabric on him. i also sewed his wings on differently. i think i like it better.

i'm back with a new softie to show! little owls! i have been rolling this idea around in my head for awhile and finally made these this weekend. they are fleece accented with cute fabrics and felt. entirely my own design and hand sewn. so cute! i'd love to keep all of them but i'm just keeping the pink one as she is my prototype. the other two cuties are available in my shop..
