We're All Mad Here! Chessa the Cheshire

I've said it before I know, but I'm always months behind creating my ideas.
Chessa has been sitting in my sketchbook, waiting to be made for at least a year now.
My new mini pixies gave me the perfect base to finally create her.
(They also give me the perfect base to create a bunch of other little characters that have been patiently waiting...so I'm really excited about the future around here!)

I have to admit, I think she's my favorite doll I've created to date.

This is Chessa the Cheshire.

She's five and a half inches tall if you count her big kitty ears.

Like my last little pixies, she's wired so she can hold some poses.

She was hand painted using acrylics and sealed with a matte varnish.

Her outfit is removable and comes with a dress, tutu, and panties.

She's a bit mad, but I hear all the best people are. ;)

She has already been adopted, but I imagine there will be more cheshires in the future.
It was hard sending her off, but I know where she's going she'll be really loved!

I've already started on the next little doll.
She's a fun custom that I can't wait to share with you all!

Special Valentine Fluffs

Confession:

I am a total sucker for Valentine's Day.

I LOVE walking down the aisles in the stores just so I can see all the pinks, reds, and whites...and the hearts! I could probably decorate my entire house just from the Valentine section in Hobby Lobby (except people would think I had really lost it then!)

I even loved it all when I was single. It just meant I got to buy a gift for myself rather than someone else! Ha!

(Now that I'm not though, my husband does a pretty darn good job at gift buying!)

I knew I needed to do a special Valentine edition of the Pocket Fluffs!

I had so much fun making these guys.

You'll notice, they each have (at least) one heart on their cheeks.

And seriously...what can say "I love you" more than a Pocket Fluff??

As I'm typing this, two of these fluffs have already found a home, but the rest are patiently waiting in the shop!

Which one is your favorite??

Little Green Guy

Ever heard of Little Green Guy?
If so, you'll recognize this little fellow:

I created the Little Green Guy fluff just for Brittany to celebrate my monsters and dolls being sold in her awesome shop!

If you live anywhere near Wyandotte, MI (lucky you!) then stop by and say hello to these fluffs for me!

 

 

Marnie also decided she'd had quite enough of me, and requested to go visit the LGG shop too.

 

 

Even if you don't live in MI, go check out Little Green Guy's site here or visit her on Facebook here!

 

Oh! And speaking of Facebook, how'd you like a chance to adopt a Pocket Fluff for $1??

And not just ANY Pocket Fluff...you get to adopt this handsome guy:

Fluffs and a Staycation!

My husband is on vacation this week.
We didn't have any money to travel, so I thought we'd have a nice relaxing break here at home.
Boy, was I wrong! It's been fun, but we have been on the go constantly! I think I would have been less exhausted if we had actually left town!

Anyway, I haven't done any plush making this week because of our "staycation."
Heck, this post was supposed to happen at the beginning of the week, and I'm only just now sitting down to type it!

I wanted to share the latest fluffs with you guys.
All of these fluff balls have already headed off to their homes!

Who's your favorite from this cuddle of Fluffs?
I think mine is that last one. I love that smile!

As fun as this week has been, I hope things go back to normal next week!

P.S. This is my 100th post! Woohoo!

Oona the 3rd

I'm sitting here, procrastinating.
I need to get back to work on my current doll, but she's one of those I have to work out how to make her in my head first.

Anyway, what better way to procrastinate than to get caught up on my blog?
At least it's productive...right??

Here's what's becoming a very familiar face around here....Oona!
We'll just call her Oona the 3rd.
Inspired by the Bubble Guppy by the same name! (And really, why must that song always get stuck in my head??)

I wanted a pic of all three Oonas together.
I think its funny how different she looks each time.
Just goes to show you, you're always going to get an OOAK doll, even when I make a repeat!

There's also been a couple of little "runt size" fluffs that have run through here.

This little one has already been adopted...and named Cutie! (Totally appropriate, in my opinion!)

This little guy is still looking for a home in the shop!

I actually have six fluffs on my desk, waiting to be photographed.
They are going somewhere special though...more on that to come later.

Well, back to work on the next doll! She's a pretty fun custom order.
Here's a hint...she's related to Oona.
