Insectopia Skinny Scarf Three Ways

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 16:57:24 -0500

$18.00
I love these skinny scarves - they're wonderful as a fun spring accessory, and can be used as a scarf, belt, or hair tie.

I made this one out of a variety of fabrics from Tula Pink's Flutterby collection, with insects hidden inside each design. The scarf is double sided, and lightly quilted to give it a bit of dimension. The colors range from deep reds and browns to complementary aquas and greens. Measures 2 by 60 inches and can be machine washed and dried as needed.

Needlefelted Snow Queen

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 16:57:24 -0500

$18.00
This lovely lady was inspired by my little girls' anxious wait for the first snow of the season. She is made in the Waldorf style with medium brown skin, a dress of hand dyed alpaca and merino and a shawl of sky blue merino draped over one shoulder.

Her hair is made of naturally curly wool, dyed in the same shades of blue and green as her dress. To add the sparkle and shine of ice and snow, she is covered in clear and frosted glass beads - a crown of them rest atop her head and the bottom of her dress is similarly adorned. She stands 7.5 inches tall from foot to crown.

Not for the under 3 set due to her beading, she is sturdily felted and would be suitable as part of a nature table, winter display, holiday decoration, or even perched atop your christmas or solstice tree!

Happy holidays and may we all have many quiet, snowy nights!

Ms Corduroy Cat

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 21:21:09 -0500

$48.00
As I finished up a purse in my studio, I was left with two long lengths of bright blue corduroy - and immediately started sewing up this lovely lady - a long, lean, feline machine. She's huggable, poseable, lovable - and can even sub in as a dinner guest should the occasion require. :)

As I've said, she's a tall girl with a height of 3.5 feet :) Her arms, legs, and face are made of blue cotton corduroy, and her shoes, mittens, and facial features from 100% wool felt. Her body is a funky coordinating cotton print in browns and blues. She is accessorized with a necklace (or is it a collar?) of wonderful velvet and silk trim. If you'd like her to go live with a child under 3, I'd recommend switching out her cut class vintage button eyes for wool applique - just let me know with your purchase and I can make the switch.

Woodland Wedding Elf Maiden

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:03:40 -0500

$12.00
This lovely elf would be equally at home as a wedding keepsake (she even fits the requirements of being new and blue :) or a child's toy. She is needle felted of merino wool on wire and is holding a blue bouquet that matches the fade away blue hem of her dress. Her black braids are held back with a white ribbon, echoing the wedding theme. She measures 5.5 inches tall. If you'd like a groom or other members of the wedding party :) I'd be happy to oblige - just convo me. (I'm always happy to offer discounts on purchases of two or more Waldorf style dolls!)

All my needle felted pieces are firmly felted and made for gentle play, though they should not be given to very small children who still put toys in their mouth.

Up-Cycled Owl and Denim Floor Pillow

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:06:45 -0500

$40.00
We love floor pillows around our house - perfect for naps, watching tv, dinner at the coffee table, even the occasional toddler pillow fight :)

Here's one I've created just for my etsy shop out of a thrift store treasure, a needlework owl rescued from an old embroidery hoop, and upcycled denim. This listing is for the pillowcase itself to keep shipping down, but feel free to convo me if you'd like the insert shipped as well.

This envelope style pillow case can be filled with either a 24 or 26" square floor pillow. Pillow inserts can be purchased at craft stores like JoAnne fabrics, or convo me and I can adjust price and shipping to include the insert as well. Standard floor pillows often on sale at big box stores can be used as inserts as well.

Since the denim was already well washed and well loved in its previous life, this pillowcase is ready to be machine washed and dried as needed - lay flat to dry or iron to preserve the crisp corners if you'd like.

I love these skinny scarves - they're wonderful as a fun accessory, and can be used as a scarf, belt, or hair tie.

The scarf is double sided, and lightly quilted to give it a bit of dimension. Measures 2 by 76 inches and can be machine washed and dried as needed.
