Pilli Pilli

Oh my gosh, I just ran across Pilli Pilli....who does beautiful crochet work. I am in love with the colorful "scarflettes" she makes. A scarf with a little animal head on it...so darling! They remind me of an updated version of the mink furs that used to be popular. The minks are cute, but of course real fur makes me feel extremely bad and sad. I think I may have to make a major etsy splurge on one of these scarves. I haven't done that in awhile. Pilli also makes lovely pins and jewelry.

Renegade Craft Fair Today!

Pogo

There's nothing I love more than tiny sweaters...I mean NOTHING! These are great because some of the sweaters are knitted into the doll. These guys are called Pogos, made by Pogo of course. I especially am mad about the photos. I know the maker probably didn't intend this, but to me they are hilarious and melodramatic. It looks like the Pogos all star in a Pogo remake of 90210. The first photo is so photo-shootey, it is my favorite. These Pogos rule!

Tiny Sleeping Bags:

WOW! I spent all day yesterday making these tiny sleeping bags to go with one of my monsters. Renegade Craft Fair is coming up this weekend, and of course I always put things off until the week before. I'm pretty proud that I finished 27 bags yesterday. Today I have been working on larger sleeping bags for the bigger monster of the same vein. Its hard to make them perfect, but I think that it is worth it in the end.

Faux Fur!

I love using faux fur, it is one of my favorite materials. It is a challenge to work with, but very rewarding in the end. Amccahon uses bright colors, and her fellows are very inviting and menacing at the same time. Her etsy shop is well named: Friendly Fiends.

Le Petit Yubbie Toys

Le Petit Yubbie toys are great! This accordion is excellent! I love all of stuff she does.
