Secondary Blog

Just in case people are interested in what I do in my day job, feel free to check out the blog of my alter-ego, Page Turner.

Penguins!

Aren't these guys just darling? They are my third and fourth penguins that I've made. I initially got the request from my boss to make a penguin and when I brought it in to show him, he bought it on the spot for his granddaughter. Then I made my second one and before I could even list it on etsy, friends bought him for their nephew's birthday. And so here are the next ones up. I worked on them on Monday when I was at home on the couch sick.

Quick catch-up on life: Atlanta and back on Saturday for the Atl Tattoo Convention and Ikea; Sunday hit up a sale at Joanne's for more felt and then home feeling sick. Monday at home with a sore throat, but enjoying the fact that at least we have cable again. Thought that I was getting better but home again this afternoon with an even worse sore throat and wheezing. I'm hopeful that it's just a chest cold and not bronchitis. At least it's a lovely rainy day to be inside and on the couch.

Now for Sale Online!

The stuffed animals are now up for sale on etsy.com.

Blue Bunny has already gone! In less than 14 hours since he was listed. I'm quite happy about that. The next challenge is going to be making sure that I'm consistently making new little guys to put online.

And I'm finally sending out three stuffed animals to my pal Lauren who requested them a couple of months ago. Since her twins are due in just weeks, I'm sneaking them in just in time! I'll put up pictures of them once she receives them just so that more samples are on view.

Swallows

Finally worked out the kinks for a new pattern for some swallows. The plan is to figure out how to construct a mobile to hang them from. And then to sell the suckers.
