Sock Rat

I didnt think I'd ever get asked to make a sock rat but I was wrong! Here's how he turned out...

Louise's Portraits

Here are photos of a recent order I received...one of my loyal customers wanted a set of portraits to give to her partner from his kids for Father's Day!

Milkshakes anyone?

Does anyone fancy a milkshake? I'm afraid these aren't edible - they're made from felt! :)

Memory Bunny - Phoebe

A few months ago, a good friend of mine, Kate, asked me to make a memory bunny for her out of her daughter's baby clothes. I LOVED this project - it's definitely a lot more personal and it's always a nice thing to be able to make something that a person can cherish. Given that it was my first attempt at making one (along with it being about twice to three times the size of other things I make) I dont think it turned out too bad! ;) Tell me what you think!

Sophie & The Elephants - Part 2

Here is a picture I drew about a month ago now, again it's another present for Sophie :) Originally it was only going to be Sophie and the elephant but then I thought it looked a little too plain, so along came the other animals! Can you imagine if a load of animals came together for a photo like this in real life?! If only!

Sophie & The Elephants - Part 1

My friend Sophie LOVES elephants! I think I posted a similar topic last year around her birthday but time flies and now I'm posting again! This year I thought it would be nice to make her a sock elephant...she said she would like one after seeing the ones I made on my Sock Bunnies & Other Softies Facebook page, but I thought I would make her a special one that no one else has got...here she is:

A Penguin For Erika

My good friend Erika has another birthday coming up and I'd said that I will put together a package for her filled with Irish knick knacks - which I actually do every year depending on whether new Ireland stuff comes out in the shops here in Hertfordshire! Anyway, I thought since she likes penguins, I could make her one out of felt - at first I thought I wanted to make one out of socks but when you stuff black socks with white polyester stuffing, you can see right through the socks so it hardly looks black anymore! Hence why I finally settled on felt.
Then, I remembered that Erika likes baseball (or is it softball - sorry Erika lol!) - either way, she's sporty so figured a cap would be a nice touch!

So, this is Erika's Irish Penguin...who either plays baseball/softball...or just who just likes wearing a cap :) Whichever you prefer!

P.S. No, I couldnt resist uploading these photos so it wont be a surprise anymore! Will have to think of something else! ;)
