Pudgy

Yippee! new design just completed. Also my 1st bear of 2010.

A 2.5" plump little baby bear, Pudgy made from Sassy fur and glass eyes. Thread jointed.

Hope you like him! ^_^

Please email me in you are interested in adopting Pudgy. Thank you!

Someday...

 Someday, i must try making an elephant. A distressed elephant.
I've seen so many Ellies around the web recently it's hard not to get infected.

And a mouse too. A lovely little mouse. Since i'm born in the Year of the Rat.

And a little mini bear-giraffe. I have some lovely fur sitting in storage.

And a large bear. An extra large one. About 1 metre tall. in shaggy maroon fur.


Ahh.. So many projects and so little time.


Maybe.. someday...

blog background

Because of Lisa of  A Whimsical Bohemian having a brilliant idea of hosting the OWOH, I came across this fantastic blog by Plumrose Lane.

If you have seen my previous blog designs, you would know that while it is simple and easy to navigate, it is supremely boring as i've been using the default templates. I've tried to customised the template but the html codes were just too complicated for me. Imagine my joy when i came across Plumrose Lane!

She has some wonderfully beautiful blog backgrounds. Do visit her! ^_^

In progress

Phew! finally managed to start sewing my new teddy. ^_^

Had a super busy weekend with not much rest in between and longing to start working on the bears. haha.. really addicted.

Started sewing the arms together yesterday and realised that faux fur is really terrible to work with. arggh! I'm so glad i bought the mohair Edward kit from Bare Clubs. i cant wait for it to arrive!

Ok, off to lunch now. Stomach growling...

MAJOR Giveaways!

I've just came across a post by a lovely lady with fantastic idea - One World One Heart.

This event was created by her to bring bloggers together who normally would not meet. To read more about it, go here.

I love this idea of hers. For 1 thing, i love reading blogs and seeing all the lovely creations by artists around the world. For another, i just like giveaways! ^_^ though i've never win any yet, it's fun! Maybe 1 day i'll do a giveaway too. =D

Meanwhile, i am happily going through all the blogs in the list, 1 by 1!! omg, how long is that gonna take me though??

WIP II

Guess what this is??

it's fluff from the fur!

i bought a subscription to the bare cubs design club last week. now the patterns are all traced and cut out. 

opp sides laid out...

pile of fur...

anotherWIP.. this time of my own design.. a little mini.. hmm.. din really turn out the way i imagined it to be though... i shall work on this 2 at the same time.. haha..

looks a little like the teenage mutant ninja turtles don't you think?? i temporarily lost my mojo when i saw how this bear turned out.. then i started on the pattern from helen from bare cub.. and i'm all motivated again! =D


now this one looks like a voodoo doll. it's actually a needle felted (soon to be) bear. wonder how long i'll take for this..

wat had worked in the prototype did not work in the fur. haiz. back to drawing table. and more precious fur wasted.
