{Paige the Penguin}

Miss Paige is on her way to Canada for a little 3 year old girl for Christmas!  She is approximately 12" tall and quite plump as you can see!

This pouch is available in my Etsy shop, however if you'd like to order a pouch similar to this, but with different fabrics head over to my shop and place a custom order. You can choose the colors/prints/fabrics and I will try to find fabric as close to what you request as possible.  Please note that I cannot guarantee that I can find exactly what you would like, but I will do my best.   

Paige was made with a pattern from Sweet Briar Sisters.

{Leila the Pony, crochet stuffed animal}

This sweet little pony is a Christmas gift for my son.  He wanted a pony/horse and his favorite color is purple, so I definitely had to make his mane purple and part of his tail.

If you'd like to order a custom made pony with your choice of colors... Head over to my etsy shop and place a custom order request there.  Please note that I cannot guarantee that I can find exactly what you would like, but I will do my best.

{coin purses & a flea market}

I just finished these cute little coin purses a few days ago.  I found this fun vintage typewriter fabric at my favorite local fabric store, SAS.

The yellow typewriter above is the back of the top pink one and this photo on the right is the inside. There wasn't much of this fabric so I made a few pouches with it.

I'm getting ready for a big Flea Market at this end of this month that I will have a booth at, so I'm making lots and lots of fun gift items.   

This is the 2nd coin purse (above is the front & below is the back and inside) 

If you are in the Phoenix Metro area come find me at the Phoenix Flea Market on November 29th & 30th, from 10am - 6pm rain or shine!  It is located at the Historic Heritage Square
113 North 6th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004

{happy halloween ~ costumes galore}

I did a little sewing for Halloween this year.  Above is my oldest daughter.  I made her shorts and her mask (she painted it and I sewed it) and she made her tutu and painted the spider on her shirt.

Above is the dress I made for my oldest daughter's best friend.  She was an ice princess.  I wish I could have gotten a picture of her all dressed up with her hair and make-up done and with her tiara on.  She looked really good.  This dress was very difficult to make.  I've made several formals now, but this one by far was the hardest.

  Minnie Mouse is my 2nd oldest daughter.  I made her dress and she made her ears.

These are my 3rd and 4th oldest girls.  On the left is my 15 year old, doing face painting at our church's trunk-or-treat last night.  I never got a good picture of her costume.  She made her tutu.  And my 13 year old daughter (on the right), she's the only one I didn't have to make anything for.  My 15 year old did the 13 year olds make-up.

My oldest son was a mummy.  My husband and I tore up an old sheet and another large piece of fabric that I had into strips and tied them together.  It literally took almost an hour to wrap him up.

And my youngest boy was a lumberjack.  My husband made his axe and the rest was all stuff we already had.  My 15 year old daughter did his make-up for his beard. This was a very simple costume. We had a lot of fun this year.   

I always love seeing the creative ideas my kids come up with.   Happy Belated Halloween!

{a custom t-rex}

Mr. T-Rex is a custom order for Michelle W.  She sent me a picture of the dinosaur she wanted and I couldn't find a pattern anywhere just like that one, so I used a dragon pattern I had, (from Sweet Briar Sisters) and I did some alterations to make it smaller and to create an open mouth with teeth.  Needless to say it was very tricky, but it worked.

Meet Priscilla.  She is getting ready to head to Montana.  The penguin in my shop is only 5" tall, but Colleen wanted a much larger one and she chose these fun colors.  So Miss Priscilla is about 11" tall.

{mr. navy bear, crochet teddy bear}

Sweet Mr. Navy bear was born on Sunday this week.  he is a custom order for Angie A. and he is on his way to Utah right now.

Angie wanted her bear made with light gray and navy yarn to coordinate with her babies nursery.  She wanted the stitching navy to coordinate and I'm glad she decided that because I love it. 

 I tried to find navy felt for his nose, but after looking at three stores I gave up and decided to figure out how to crochet that little nose and I love how it turned out.  If fact, I think I like it better than the felt nose now (I'm not sure I would like it in a light color, but for this dark color it looks great).

You can order your own custom made teddy bear by heading over to my etsy shop and placing a custom order.  You can choose the colors of yarn & fabric (for his/her muzzle) you'd like!  This sweet little guy was featured at: 

This pattern is by Lille-liis
