WE WON!!!

Well,

I decided to enter this adorable guy: Pepe the penguin. Isn't he stunning in blue?

It was a hard decision. I was really torn between the lion and the penguin, but of the ones I had already made, I liked the penguin best.
So after much waiting, not so patiently, I just found out that I won! I won a $100 gift card to Hancock Fabrics (it was their contest) and am now entered in the grand prize national contest. Keep your fingers crossed for me and Pepe. In the mean time I'll continue daydreaming about what I'll spend my $100 on at Hancock...

New Year, New Ideas

With the new year I have been given a new opportunity. I have been presented with a contest for making adorable things with fleece. I want to enter, but can't decide which hat is most likely to win. I'm partial to the lion and the penguin... the monkey is also very cute... the pirate is a high seller... I just don't know. Which would you choose?

Another Bazaar

We did another bazaar this weekend. It was fun because I got to spend time with my sister. It always surprises me which hats sell on different days. This time we sold nothing but pirate hats! He is pretty cute, after all. Do you have a favorite?

Bazaar

So this weekend my sisters and I did a table at a school bazaar! It was really fun. I enjoyed that the last minute additions of the jungle animals were the first to go... I'll be busy this week making more!

Jungle Buddies

As promised, here are my newest creations with a Jungle theme. I'm a little biased, but my favorites are the lion and the monkey.

Buggin' Me

I'm thinking about bringing back the ladybug, or possibly a bee or some other insect. I gave this one away, so I'd sort of have to start from scratch. Oh! a spider would be an interesting challenge... or maybe we should add wings? Any thoughts? I didn't like the way the antenna worked out on this one, I'm thinking I might have to come up with a better idea for those.

More Designs

I thought you might like to see a few of the other designs I've already put together. There are several more in the works, mostly jungle related. I'm pretty excited!

This one I've made with a different colored eye as well

All of the snow pictures taken above were photographed by Katie Grinder. We LOVE her work!
