Okay, two down for MassHort, ten more to go. Can you tell I sorted through my greens?
Because I often use the tiniest pieces of fabric for toys, I keep every
scrap. The cotton fabrics live in clear plastic bins, one for each
color, on the bookshelves in our bedroom. To find the piece I want I
dump out the whole bin and sort through it. I don’t fold pieces before
putting them back because that takes time and because the pieces are
for the most part really irregular in shape.
But periodically the bins become so full that they no longer close and
then they start to barely fit on their shelves and that’s a sure sign
that I need to clean them out.
Turns out I had lots of shades of solid green, perfect for this fellow’s shell.
Here he is from behind because I always really appreciate it when people post pictures of the backs of their toys.
I really need to make some tags for the 50+ toys that are hanging around here. Maybe tonight. We are baking the lemon cake with lemon frosting that is in this month’s Cook’s Illustrated tonight because Charlie’s 35th birthday is tomorrow. I could potentially tag things while the cake is in the oven. Or I could sit on the couch.
And do you sell all these toys or …
Such nosey questions. Just call me Nosey Nelda.
This is my favourite so far, he’s such a cutey, he looks very sophisticated with his beret on!!
Abby. He is gorgeous!! I love his little tam soooo much. You have been cranking out such amazing work recently! The details and construction are incredible. Really, I am in awe.
I am in love with this little fellow. My favourite so far. And the sleepy eyes! Such a great, great touch. I’m gushing, I know. I love hime THAT much!
oh…. i vote for sit on the couch.
cute…love him, love green. I’m feelin’ pretty green these days. Wishful thinking I guess…
His little hat is perfect.
Those sleepy little eyes and stubby little legs – how cute! My vote, for all it’s worth, is that you should sit on the couch.
Oh, by all means, sit on the couch!
Your turtle is darling; I especially love the rim around the shell.
This is adorable. The detail is incredible. I love your blog – I check it on occasion and have always loved what you’ve created.
Oh good gracious! And just when I though nothing could be more spectacular than the lizard . . .
I wasn’t sure how you were possibly going to follow those birds, but this is so adorable! Can’t wait to see it all come together for your show!
Oh the turtle is so cute, and he has so much character. I cannot wait to see what other animals you make for the show. Happy Birthday to your hubby too.
So cute!!!
I really like this turtle, I think because its so round.
Great toys. I love the turtle. If you don’t mind me asking, how do you make your tags? I hope the future has many couch sitting moments for you!
what a handsome fello…I do wish I could visit your show. Please say that you will post photos. my my, I imagine he has an accent.
Mais où trouves-tu toutes ces idées?
Look like a french turtle with its little beret on!! so cute, love it!
