New stuff

I made these 2 things for swaps

The first is a little snail pincushion.

I used a pattern from Jacque Uetz. http://jacqueuetz.blogspot.com/

I think it came out really cute.

The second is a tiny Jester pin. I love making these pin dolls. I have several waiting to be finished.

Mr Reginald Eggelsworth the III

But he likes to be called Reggie.

Reggie may look like a tough old bird but he really is a good egg and has quite a sense of humor.

(You would too if you had to walk around with no pants LOL)

Reggie is a pin doll made for an eggsactly pin doll swap.

Sometimes it is so fun to make something a bit odd or oval in this case :o)

Every feel a little bit snow flakey?

This is a little snowflake pin. She is apx 2"

Her body is made like a paper doll - out of felt and card stock. Her hand and shoes are clay and her head is cloth covered clay.

I made her for a Winter pin doll swap.

My kids think that I have totally lost it and that she is the "weirdest" thing I have every made.

I guess she must extremely weird then because they think that my sock monkeys are pretty strange too. LOL Oh well. Sometimes you just gotta make something that is a little off the wall :o)

Christmas Pin Doll Swap

Before Christmas I participated in a pin doll swap.

The theme was Elves or Santa.

Here is the little elf that I made and the one I received.

Mine arrived first so they got to play, tell secrets and talk about Santa until the little bear elf was sent away to her new owner.

The elf was made by Kelly.

I just love him.

Thank you again Kelly!
