SECRET REVEALED!

So I am 17 weeks along. We kept it under wraps as long as we could do to problems I've had in the past. All is well and for those of you interested I've started a new blog for family and friends called Robyn's Nest. This is basically for people I don't see often. I will keep this going after the baby is born as well. I am also trying to keep these two worlds as seperate as possible. We'll see how well that goes.

JACK

Well Jacks body is done and I couldn't be happier!! Now I have to make a box. Luckily I have till the 31st to finish him. I was a little worried the deadline would be sooner. That's why I worked so fast to get the body done because i knew the box would take a while. The photo isn't the greatest. I was in a hurry. I'm supper pleased with his hands. My hands cramped up so bad trying to turn those inside out. But totally worth it! Thank goodness fleece has stretch to it.
I also took the time to knit a tiny little scarf. I then added some floral wire through the stitches so that it would stand on its own and look like it's blowing in the wind. I'll get a much better shot of him when he is done.

MEAT SWEATS!

So I took a quick break this week and made some rotten chicken. It was actually a gift for a friend. There is a long story to this and I won't go into detail. I've actually had this idea in my head now for over a year but haven't really done anything with it because plush meat has been done so much. But I wanted to call this series "Meat Sweats" they would all be packaged meats of some sort and all would be going bad or on the verge of going bad. I like the idea of the one chicken still ok but he sees his fate as the rest of the chicken around him go bad. Hence the title Meat Sweats. They'd be sweating and freaking out over there inevitable end. I've got sketches from packaged hotdogs to t-bone steaks. It may be something I come back to. They are definitely a lot simpler than most of the stuff I'm working on these days.
Meat...it's what's for dinner. Only don't eat the green meat!

FYI

I've been asked which store my plush will be on display at during the Plush You Show. I should probably give out that information. I will be showing at Schmancy. I will not be able to attend, though I'd love to!!! I hate to miss it. Maybe next year. Check out my stuff and feel free to email me with any questions or comments. I love to hear from fellow plushers!!!!!

EVIL JACK IN THE BOX

So I've completed Jacks head. I am super pleased him!! I've already started working on his body. Maybe I need to do a series of demented toys. It's hard to top Tim Burton though so maybe not.
