The Name Game - Part Two

I have been trying to come up with a brand new mini plushie for the holiday show for weeks.  I tried drawing lots of mini monsters but I didn't really like any of them.  So, I decided to try something completely different.  

This is what I made!

Felt will always be the main fabric I used to make my plushies.  I love it way too much.  But, I am hoping to try incorporating some other fabrics into my designs next year to expand my plushie collection.  This plushie is made of furry fleece (aka the messiest fabric ever!).  It works great for making something look furry while still keeping it soft and cuddly.  :-)

I was inspired by two things when I made this plushie.  Last year I made a chibi plushie for my friend's daughter and I really wanted to figure out a fun way to make Soot Sprites.

I started to make one out of yarn but I really wanted to make them out of fabric.  I got busy and never got around to it.  Then this week I was taking a little break and playing Chuzzle on my phone (I'm hooked!) and thought it might be fun to make a furry little plushie that looked a bit like a Chuzzle.

And that is how my new plushie came to be.  :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now I need your help.  I don't know what to name this plushie!  Will you help me?   I decided to have another contest like I had for the Love Bites and ask for suggestions.  I will then open it up to a vote and the winner will get one of these little guys for a prize!  What do you think?  Do you want to play?

Here's how it works...

1.  Comment on this post with your name, name idea and an email address where I can contact you for shipping info if you win.  Names will be accepted until Thursday, October 13th.

2.  Voting will open on Friday, October 14th and last through Sunday, October 16th.

3.  The winning name will be announced on Monday, October 17th.

p.s.  I have been having trouble finding more colors of the furry fleece.  I have tried the fabric stores I know of in Austin and I tried to find some online with no luck.  Do any of you know where I can find some?  Your help would be much appreciated.  :-)

Thank you to everyone who entered.  :-)

Music Monday - Patty Griffin

Hi!  How was your Monday?  Mine was so strange!  I can't think of another word to describe it.  Tons of weird stuff happened all day.  Work was...I don't even know.  Just weird!  I'm not even going to waste time talking about it.  Then my phone decided to stop working so I skipped my fitness class to go get it fixed.  By the time it was too late to go to class my phone started working fine again.  Then my internet at home went out.  The list just goes on and on.

Luckily I made it through the day and somehow managed to stay pretty positive through all most of it.  ;-)  I thought it would be fitting to have a music monday song about a heavenly day to try to cancel out the not so heavenly day I had.

This is Patty Griffin singing Heavenly Day.

Happy Monday!

Here, There & Everywhere

Hi!  I hope you are having a lovely day.  I have a couple of fun things to share with you. 

Do you remember the giveaway I hosted last month on Punk Projects?  Raynata from Urban Curio was the winner and she wrote a blog about the pretties she won!

I'm so glad she liked them!

Last Sunday I participated in an open house at Cypress Vanguard in Austin.  Jen from Jennifer Hearts Art posted some pictures of my table on her blog today!  It was so nice of her to include me.  :-)  Be sure to check out her blog to see pictures of some of the other great artists that were there, too. 

Here is the picture she took of my plushies!

This is a quick picture I took of my table so you can see the whole thing.  I had to improvise my set up a little bit because the table was smaller than my regular table.
