Violet the Dress Up Bunny

 

 

Meet Violet. She is a dress up rabbit!

I've had this idea in my mind for quite some time now and after working on her for what feels like forever she's finally complete. I'm so happy with how she turned out!

She's listed in my shop now if you're interested.



Humble Makings

Just a little peek at a few things I've made lately. What have you been making lately?

Humble Carnival Update

Check it out, blogging 2 days in a row!! Watch out now, I'm on a roll!

So that update I was talking about yesterday? Yeah... well I decided to add it today instead. I've been working on it for so long and I'm just ready to post what I have completed.

 This little bunny is Bette. She is the newest addition to my on going Carnival Collection.

I've been working on her for what feels like forever, I started her in California, did the legs in Arizona, the head while sitting on a Amtrak traveling across the county and finally completed her a few days ago here in NY. She's a well traveled rabbit haahaa!

I added a handful of new Humble Toys too!

Pop over and visit my shop, I'd loove to hear what you think of my newest additions!

Shop Update

Hello there friends!

Just a quick post to mention that I added 2 new Little Bears to my shop.

They're only $15 if you're interested. They're prefect for little ones too because they have not small or plastic parts, so if your in need of a bear gift consider these little guys! xo Jen



Crocheted Brain

My mom is having brain surgery on Friday and I put together a little get will gift to send to her. When I asked her if she wanted anything specific for mother's day she told me she wanted a new brain. :( So I made her a plush one, I hope it will make her smile.
This will be the second (and hopefully last) surgery she will have to have.

I meant to take pictures of the whole gift but I was in a rush to pack it up and get it to the post office and I forgot to snap a pic of the whole thing put together. But I just put in things to make her laugh/smile and things for her to do while she's in bed getting better and since I'm pretty sure she doesn't read my blog I think it's safe to share...

I was really happy with how this turned out. I tried to find a pattern but couldn't find one that I liked so I just made it up as I went. The only problem that I had is that I accidentally used 2 different dye lots, so the right side is a darker pink than the left side... oh well...

Hope everyone is well. Think a positive thought for my mom on Friday.  <3 Jen

***Update: Mom's surgery went smoothly and she is recovering in record speed***

Lately....

Lately I have been feeling so inspired, I have been making things from sun up to sun down. I just love it when I am in such a creative groove. Nothing feels better to me, nothing makes me happier. Here's just a peak at what I have been up to...

I'm makin a quilt and I use the term 'quilt' very loosely... It's my first and as always I am just diving in head first and hopefully it comes out decent. I plan to share a few posts on how this process has gone for me since this is really my first experience with 'quilting.' I am being pretty ambitious and making a queen size quilt and half way through cutting 250,000 squares (really 240) I thought I was in over my head but every thing's cut and I'm ready to start crazy stitching them together. Wish me luck!

I'm making some serious progress on my sweet home sweet pillow.

Been plush makin' too! I made a little ghost and a rain cloud. These will be up in the shop very soon if you are interested.  

I'm also working on finishing up a cushion for my trash find chair and I am putting together a quick how-to for that, hopefully it will be finished in the next few days.... Annnd I think that's everything that I am working on.

Are you working on anything special lately?

Ervin the Black Bird

Hello there! I just added a new plush to my Etsy and thought I would share a few pictures of him here.

Ervin the Black Bird

Up for adoption from The Humble Carnival is Ervin the Black Bird. Ervin is a shy bird for he fears being baked into a pie! He hides under his hat to confuse any potential pie bakers. I guess you could say he's got a bit of a complex...

Shop Update

This little bear is Lulu. Lulu is a collector of many things.

She is now available in my shop.

I had a lot of fun making her, she made me wish that I had a sweater covered with buttons.

Maybe I will make one? I have seen a few here and there and they always look so darn cute! This could be a great spring project....

 And here's another one of Cecil just cuz.

I will be back tomorrow with my inspiration list! I want to share a little collection of things that I find inspiring and beautiful . It's the first time I will be posting this but I am really excited about it and hope to make it a regular feature on my blog.
