Stuffed Veggies!!!


Hooray! Stuffed vegetables! I made these because I was inspired by the Stuffie awards to make a plushie, so I made one, and another, and another! Now I have a really cute set of veggies to enter into their stuffed cuizine category! YAY! Go check out their pictures on flickr. I wrote a little blurb about each of them on there. :D In other news, I am entering a contest with my sponsoring studio, Fibre Arts. The contest is one where you alter a barbie to put fourth a message. More news later!
Thanks for reading!

The Softie Awards


While looking for a group for plushies on Flickr I stumbled upon The Softie Awards. I was intrigued, and enterd my plushie, Squiddy. Perhaps he will win somthing, but, there is some stiff competition! There are some really cute plushies out there! One that really caught my eye was a cute little mermaid... I hope to make some more entries by the deadline, March 9th. Maybe I'll make a toaster cozy... Hehehe! Just kidding. But I will make somthing else. Perhaps it will be an entry into the Best Softie Cuisine category! A stuffed asparagus! Hooray!

My First Blog Post


This is my first post and, if you hadn't noticed by the title, this is a crafting blog.
My hobby is crafting. I make stuff. Out of fabric, mostly, but I do make other things. One thing I am really enjoying right now is embroidery and sewing. I also enjoy loom weaving, refashioning, beading, knitting, and paper crafts. recently, I was chosen by a local studio, Fibre Arts Design Studio, to participate in their portfolio program. so now I make stuff even more than usual. At fibre arts, I take classes, and I learn many new techniques. I will post any new projects I am doing, and I will also provide a link to my Flickr photo stream. I post pictures of ALL of my projects on my Flickr, so give it a peek. I would love to hear feedback from fellow crafters, so by all means leave a comment. Thanks for reading! :D
