Accessories, Accessories,

As you can see I did get another couple of critters finished , a wiener dog and a frog, you can see them at the bottom of this post. I think I'm going to modify the patterns for both these critters. Does anybody have an opinion about that? Now, I'm working on all the accessories that are going to be on and around the recent critters I have managed to complete....

Just a quick update,

I have almost finished the cat. I still need to add whiskers and a collar. You can see the picture below. Hopefully the rest of my year will be this productive. I'm now working on a rat. Until later, stay safe.

Renovations got in the way,

It's been a while since I had anything to post. All the renovations around here have really interfered with everything. Now everything is sort of back to normal and I have been able to complete some new patterns and make a mouse shown below. I'm working on a cat right now and will post pics of that next week. I'd appreciate any comments or name suggestions for this little tomouse. Mouse Mouse Until the next post, stay safe.

I'm working on a new bat called a flying fox. This is a custom order. You can see the work in progress below. I'm also sanding and painting my worn out cabinets. I'm replacing all the doors and hardware too. Next month I'll be having all my windows installed. I probably won't be posting much because of all the work, but, I will definitely post pictures of the finished bat. Until the next post, please stay safe.

Hello everyone I hope this post finds you staying cool and enjoying life. I have completed another pattern for a new style of cat. This is a proto type so there are no facial features. Let me know if you like this cat. I have to confess this pattern was tough. I couldn't seem to get it just right so I gave the cat a wire skeleton of sorts and lo and behold it came out looking exactly like what I pictured in my head....

Have you ever had an idea pop into your head and it just drives you crazy until you start working on it? That is what has happened to me. I started on a cat project that was somewhat different than I normally do. It started out fine. After I had it almost completed I realized it would never work. I started over, got half way finished and became stuck....
