don’t attempt to try this at home…..

 ….okay? unless of course you’re alot smarter than me (which i’m bettin’ you are!) & wear long sleeves & an apron! yup…i decided to shave this mohair…which on first thought actually seems pretty ludicrous since mohair is soooo expensive, but i had this mohair sitting around for quite some time & i never really liked [...]

current WIP’s

 i currently have just about 4 lil’ outsiders in the works! i figured i’d concentrate on the smaller ones, since at least that would give me some sort of feeling of completion amidst the crazy-ness that is this apartments current state! hopefully this weekend i’ll be able to organize what i’ve packed so it’s not [...]

Hildy!

lion wip!

…and that is just the plain ol’ truth. i feel really odd….not really sick, but lazy like i have been the last few months (ugh! just when i thought i’d gotten my energy back!) and a mind full of mush. i think that’s what frustrates me most about this whole pregnancy thing…my mind is ten [...]

kipper kitty!

 i am finally finished with #55….he is a mint greenish kitty made from a medium density mohair with a chocolate backing. i named him “mr. kipper kitty” after my hubby …who has a strange cat like tendencies to eat tons …and i mean tons of kippers! fortunately for me, he only eats them when he [...]

organization (*gasp*)

today i thought i’d share one of my little tricks to keep my mohair samples organized. this works well for mohair or any kind of fabric, really.  i wound up using a moleskin journal that i never got around to drawing in (the comic strip style one)…and the seperated blocks in it make it perfect [...]

Giacomo!

 yay! giacomo giraffe is finally finished & up in the shop! & i’m pretty psyched about how he came out…since he’s my very first giraffe & all! plus when i was first roughing out the face in wool…he kinda looked like ALF! yep… that’s right…it was a hole i didn’t think i could dig my [...]
