Ah springtime..you are so sweet, with your little fuzzy and furry babies. Springtime, you inspire me, and so I made some fuzzy little friends also. I discovered a new combination of wet felting, needle felting and sewing to make these all wool chicks. If you would like one to cuddle with you can find them here:

and if there are no more ..please send me a message..I would be happy to make you one! or a few!
thank you to wonderful Erika Hickey for her photography!

Starlight Children



Here are some dolls that I made last holiday season, they are probably all well loved by children somewhere now. Three of them were made with a yummy angora sweater I had scored at a local thrift store, I would love to find another one of those!
I'm finally recovering from my bout with the swine flu and hopefully soon will be happily creating more in my new work shop! I really can't wait..maybe this illness was just what I needed to inspire me with the desire to make some new toys. Learning to respect my creative flow has been a big part of my craft and I think I am finally finding some balance with that!
Some days are productive and other days are simply not..that's why its important for me to find the time to make things as gifts or just for fun ..to keep the creative juices flowing!

on the mend


ah we are finally coming round from our illness around here,
and now that I'm finally on the mend
I found some time to create this little friend
It seems like it took infinite amounts of energy to find any creativity at all
