I finished the 11" bunny March 18,2009. It's made from 3 different colors of felt and a little fun fur(tail,ears and "hair").It has heart shaped paw pads(on the bottom of the front paws only). My kids want it but it will be put on Etsy to be "adopted" by a good family;oD
Plucky(the rooster) was made for my son Jaden(8 years old) about 2 months ago. They are about the same size so we've(me and my kids) decided that they MUST be friends.
Back view of the Kokeshi Kids.They are all sitting on a bench to show off their obi pockets.Each felt and fabric doll is aprox 15" tall and made from my own patterns(which I keep trying to perfect).
I am working on a pattern inspired by Firefly's Inara. The swatch is in white and cream so it can be seen easily but the final product will be in a deep red and gold.
The grand plan is to put together a series of Firefly inspired items.
This is the penguin I made for Chandler(7 years old).He wanted one similar to the one I made for Tyler(13 years) but I had to change it a little bit to make it look different(and avoid the inevitable fight, "that one is MINE!").I found this pattern on the internet ,it's the LINUX penguin called TUX.
This is Sgt.Cheddar, a fine feline with a well kept crew cut.He is ALL business except for when he thinks of his favorite food, Mac-n-cheese.At the thought of it's rich and creamy goodness,his eyes go buggy and his tongue hangs out.
He's got ,huge black safety eyes and a little black safety nose. His crew cut is made from brown fun fur. Sgt. Cheddar is completely handsewn.His spots on his forehead and down his back and tail were individually sewn on.His inner ears,tongue and front paw pads are the same shade of pale pink.The "No-bodyz" are aprox 10" tall by 9" wide and can sit alone. There are more pics of him(and the others) in my photostream. He will be up for "adoption" on etsy.See my profile for a link:o)

I have been having so much fun making these this summer.I'd take my sewing basket with me when my husband would go fishing or when my son was in summer school I'd wait in the car and make these for 2 1/2 hours.I have a few more to make(I'm up to 23) then I'll decide what the heck to do with all these ice cream cones:o)I gave one to my daughter Sunee(she's modeling hers in the pic),she wears it on a piece of decorative cord as a necklace.I've made 2 for my nieces(they picked out what color felt,beads and ribbon they wanted on theirs),they might hook theirs to their backpacks when school starts.Some of the ice cream cones are fruit scented and the ones that have brown felt are scented like chocolate.Ahh....so many color combinations/scent choices;I'm a happy girl:o)
Mr. Bunodont Molar has quite a dapper wardrobe. I caught him here in the midst of a game of croquet (which is why he's removed his top hat). Apparently, winter croquet is just The Thing this year.
