Clementine

Here's something totally different.  This is Clementine.  She is a Goblin Baby made from Jennifer Carson's pattern.  I love all her patterns but when I saw this one, these little babies just spoke to me.  I had so much fun making her.  She is made from woven wool felt in a beautiful orchid color.  Her eyes are needle felted with wool roving.  She has the softest goat hair.  She is just a little bundle of fun.

Just wanted to share her with you.  She's for me and my daughter, although when I showed her to my daughter, she replied, "Well, she is a little cute and a little creepy!"

I am dyeing up some blue and green wool to make a little boy goblin next.  Can't wait to make him!  If you have moderate to experienced sewing ability, you should check out her patterns.  She has so many fun ones and they were very easy to follow.  Happy sewing!

Hoppin' Good Giveaway


If you haven't seen the giveaway on my FB page, then hop on over and enter.  Winner gets to choose their choice of one of these bunnies free of charge.  (Or a penny because of FB rules)  I wanted to post photos of all the bunnies individually so the winner can choose the one they want.  After the giveaway the remaining bunnies will be posted and sold via comment style.

Each bunny is 8 inches tall from top of their head to their "paws."  Ears add a few extra inches. :)  They are made from soft cotton blend velour (80/20).  They are stuffed with wool.  Features are hand embroidered with cotton floss.  The girls with hair are made from 100% mohair yarn.  It's long enough to braid but I liked it best down and fluffy.  Hats are all attached to heads.

Little Miss Blue bunny-I named her Robin because she's the exact color of a tiny Robin's eggs.  She has fair skin, brown eyes, and brown mohair hair.

This is Lilac- the purple bunny.  She has fair skin, blue eyes, and white blonde mohair hair.
This is Ralphie, our only boy bunny today.  He's a soft sage green with fair skin and brown eyes.
This is Rose Blossom.  She is a lovely light pink bunny with fair skin and blue eyes.  She doesn't have her hat sewn on yet just in case the winner would like to add a mohair yarn for hair.  I have the white blonde or the dark brown available.
This is Daphne.  She is a soft yellow bunny and reminds me of the daffodils in bloom.  She has dark tan skin and brown eyes.

So hurry and enter if you have not already.  Comments will close in just a couple of hours...9 pm MST.
