This one was the one that was driving me nuts; I think I redid every part of her! All will be easy now that she is finished :-)
I had a sudden fear that her hair looked like Marge Simpson so I had to google an image, just to make sure LOL!
I’ve had a group of mermaids “in progress” (or not) for too too long. They are arguing with me every step along the way to finishing. Anyway I have finally got one done.
This one only didn’t like her hair so I had to redo it- Not too bad.
I’ve had other projects happening that I can’t show yet and I am getting ready for Well Crafted Sonoma in just a few weeks- I am very excited! Lots going on around here :-)
This is not an American gardening fox- he is from the UK in maybe the 90’s? I sometimes watch YouTube videos where an older man is in his chilly greenhouse, propagating some interesting plant… this fox is inspired by him :-)
I made him a faux Fair Isle vest.
His jacket has 2 pockets- one for his notebook of gardening notes, the other for his kerchief to clean dirty paws.
He has a garden basket- he has been harvesting some veg and flowers.
He is the last fox for now. On to something new.
She could do better with the blending into the forest than some of these other foxes!
It takes some searching to find the perfect button.
So many little squirrels on her dress.
She has a bright, super-fuzzy angora blend cardigan. And a book bag with a pig on it.
I love this fabric- perfect for a fox jacket as well as a merman tail! He won’t be attempting camouflage on the forest; he is a city fox.
Under his jacket he has a vest with guinea hens.
I made a shirt for myself from the firefly/lightening bug fabric and now this fox gets to wear it too. It will be better on her because it has gold highlights that came off my shirt when it was washed. I don’t think that will be a problem for her.
She has a super soft cashmere sweater with a silk bow. The sweater closes with a hook and loop under the bow.
Here is her moon purse. You can also see the antique star beads that I sewed onto her sweater.
This fox girl is in the forest, searching for mushrooms.
You can see that she has collected quite a few already!
She is a school girl kitty. She is wearing her adventure cat skirt and a cashmere sweater that matches her eyes.
Her skirt closes with a snap at the back so all her clothes can come off.
I am not used to Midwest excitement- we had a tornado warning today! There was the siren and phone alerts. Crazy weather!
This flower girl is a little cranky.
Here she is in the sun-
and in the shade.
Too many pictures Mom!!
She has a dress made of Liberty cotton lawn and a soft purple cashmere sweater.
A bag for her flowers and other important stuff. I used some sweet antique trim that has been in my stash for a long while and it turned out to be exactly the right size!
One more kitty after this!
