Monster red, Monster blue...

I decided to do some monsters this year. Eyes were just for my frog towels, but I decided to try some other things with eyes. This is how my Monster red came out.

With Monster blue I was trying out a different style of eye. It will be left to the imagination of the user of this towel to decide what it is. I think piranha when I see it. I also started to think... hmmm maybe walrus. I got told it looks like a snake. What does your imagination think?

Additions to Little frog products.

I decided to do a little towel hood. These are smaller than my original hooded towels. They have some of my original hooded towel designs as well as some newer looks. I started with monkeys and pandas when I made them.(More to be posted soon)

One thing that has been stuck in my head this year, like one of those songs that you cannot stop humming, has been sock monkeys. The tall human sized Sock Monkey and friends that can be seen in a car commercial make me smile. I actually had not been a fan of sock monkeys but some how they have grown on me. One day I just could not help it, I took an old pair of socks and just started cutting and stitching.

My cat does not find this white sock monkey to be his friend. Of course white sock monkey does karate chops/ kicks and flying attacks on him. Which leads to a wrestling match of cat v.s. sock monkey.

I found some socks that had interesting colors and patterns. More pictures of sock animals to be posted.

I'll be at Neal Blaisdell this weekend!

Yes, yes, I know...

*sigh*

Once again the year has gone by without my realizing. My lack of web posting is just dreadful. I'll have to figure out which pictures need to be posted. As well as updating my dot com. Which is still in a remodeling phase on my computer.

I'll be the Season's Best craft fair again at the NBC. This year it is the weekend before the trick or treating.

The Snow Frog

It all started with a piano... but let me skip to the part where I was given three choices and one of the choices was I could have a snow-San made. The thought of having my image in snow made me grin. What would it possibly look like? My thoughts then went to the pictures of snow bunnies my sister sent to me. Which made me think Snow FROG!

I was lucky enough that Dwight was willing to attempt a snow frog. Dwight and Claudia also sent me more picture of themselves with their Little frog hats. Thank you! The snow frog even came with a story I found to be delightful.

This was a serious snow construction which started with the making of a blue print.

It also involved a little volunteer named Iris. It seems Iris was curious of what was being made and abandoned her parents(who were building a snowman near by) to help in the snow frog construction. All I can say is what a wise little girl! Who would not want to make a snow frog?

Iris was the creative decorator of the 'horns' on the frog. Which gives the frog its own personality.

I am thrilled to have a snow frog in my collection of picture. Thanks again for the snow Little frog.

Custom panda

I have velcro on the customized cat and bunny eared hats.(Which can be seen in previous blogs labeled velcro.) I also add velcro upon request to any of my ear flap hat designs.

Here are pictures of a custom made medium sized panda with ear flaps.

For velcro orders, I add some extra length to the ear flaps. I sew on the velcro after cutting out the ear flap pieces. Then sew the flap pieces together. This way most of the stitches are concealed.
