I made this to replace a stuffed dog that my son begged off of my niece(Alys) in Thailand 2 years ago.Princess Dotty will be on her way to meet Alys in October. She's a little scared since this will be her first flight but she will be comforted by her puppy siblings that are soon to be born(crafted) and given to other family members.She's so sweet and smells like baby powder.
She is made of: felt,safety eyes,safety nose,vinyl collar with grommets,gingham bow,poly stuffing,baby powder scent and lots of Love:o)

My 4 felt pets. from left-right: iLio,Sgt.Cheddar,Lolita Bucky,and Shawn Mao.They are aprox 10" tall by 8" wide made from several colors of felt,fun fur,safety eyes and noses.These will be up for "adoption" ,see my profile for my shop link.My whole family loves these! In fact my daughter(4 years) thought I'd made these to keep and was crying when I told her that they would be "adopted".If I kept everything I made I'd have to rent a storage unit;o)
This pic is a close up of a paper quilling order that I completed Oct 12,2008.A friend ordered this for her 2 month old niece for Christmas. See my photostream to view this completed order which took me aprox 20 hours to finish.
This is a yummy scented keychain made from felt.It measures at 6" from the keyring to the bell(the toast is 2-3/4" tall by 2-3/4 wide)The "crust" is a brown ribbon with a pink thread detail.On the front side,( pics in my photostream)it has safety eyes,a sewn smile, a cute little heart nose and a bell on the bottom of it.The scent is in a sachet that is placed inside the poly batting and should smell good for a while( I scented other plushies a year ago and they still smell good).This pic is the backside side of it, "I love(heart) P.B"...This is lightweight and would be cute clipped to your purse,belt loop,backpack or on a zipper.If you're interested in this and want to see more pics see my profile for a link:o)
Thanks for looking!!!!
After working with the pattern on my own bag... I nabbed this fab teal & black elvis fabric from my stash & whipped this up for one of my best crafty friends!
:o)
I hope she likes it!
The blue puppy was just "born" last night.It was ordered by my sister-n-law who will take him to Thailand and give him to his new owner who is a recent college grad(that's why the puppy is chewing on a bear with a graduation cap). The puppy was also personalized with the name of his new owner(I hope they don't look at my flickr pics!) There will be a total of 6 puppies in this "litter"...2 down and 4 more to be born in the next week..Oh,another thing, he is scented like baby powder.
This is the backside of a Siamese cat that I finished Jan.20,2009. He has a felt mouse in his back pocket and pink heart paw pads.
This is Scarlet.She's the 5th puppy "born" and will be on her way to Bangkok in Oct(2009) to meet her new owner (a recent Chulalongkorn University Graduate).Scarlet has a felt body,safety eyes,safety nose,pvc collar,Princess dog charm,gingham bow,and a graduation bear to cuddle with.She is baby powder scented too!
This keychain/purse charm is made from felt and is Lavender scented.It's aprox 3"X4".I had a picture of this in my head when I went to bed and had to draw it exactly as I imagined it so I wouldn't forget when I woke up.The next day I second guessed my color choices and almost changed it but I'm glad I didn't because I really like how this turned out.I gave it to a friend but plan on making more, maybe different colors and scents too.

This is the back of a Boston terrier that I made from felt January 2009. I love black with pink and white,maybe from eating Brach's Neapolitan candy when I was a kid,so it was no accident that pink was the complimentary color for her. Her pocket will hold her doggie bowl that was made from a stiffer felt with sparkles.I sewed a sparkly crown(made by Jessejames beads) to the other side of her doggie bowl.This project took about 5-6 hours to make(a little longer since I was writing down notes as I went).I have a million ideas but only 2 hands so hopefully the notes I wrote will help me create a little faster :o) * See my photostream to see this puppies cute face
