Woohoo!

Woohoo! All the Pocket Fluffs on my list are now completed!
It feels good to mark off so many things from my never ending "To Do List."

All these little guys have already found a home, but I'm hoping to start working on some for the shop soon.

 
First up is this cute little pair!
They've been named Fidget and Gidget and they're off to live with their brother, Widget.
I can't wait to see what fun the three will have!


 
 
I always have so much fun with the little runt sized Pocket Fluffs...so I was pretty excited about working on three at once! As you can see, they were having a lot of fun together.
Glad they're all off to live in the same home!
 
 

 





And finally, Scramble. She went off to her new home today, and I've heard she's already had a big adventure at the mall. (Doodle is quite jealous.)



I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day this past Sunday!
I certainly did. My son even decided to help me with monster photos...
 
 
 
Next up on the work table is a custom order for a My Little Pony. Fun!

Oona the Second and some more fluff...

Looks like I've gotten behind on my blog posts.
Not sure how that happened!

Here's a few little creatures that have come and gone since I last visited here.
This first one moved off to the UK (and brought the rainbow fluff I showed you guys in an earlier post along with him).



This next little pair of runt sized Fluffs are also happily living in their new home together!
(They've been named Tribble and Nurple!)




 
 
I was asked to make another Oona bubble guppy for another little one, so I was more than happy to do so! We'll just call her Oona the Second.
 


I take back everything I said about a doll being so much faster the second time around. Oona did NOT like me for some reason! She ended up taking me a whole week to complete because of one silly thing after another! I'm not sure why we didn't get along while she was being created, but we decided to make up and be friends once she was completed.

 
 
And that brings us to today!
This is Septimus, a custom Pocket Fluff.
He had his name picked out before I even started making him! Lucky fellow.
 


 
I have six pocket fluffs staring at me right now, all just waiting for their finishing touches, so I'll share them with you guys in the next few days!
They're all from my waiting list, so no shop updates this week though.

I found I've had to slow down just a bit in my plushie making. I've been staying up waaaay too late and not getting nearly enough sleep so I'm having to force myself to go to bed now (boo!).
I also discovered all this hand sewing is giving me carpal tunnel! Ack!
Luckily, the wrist brace is helping a lot with that (and it makes me look tough too LOL). I guess I'll take that as a sign that I have no choice but to get comfortable with my sewing machine.
(And oh my, if I can make friends with my machine, we're going to be over run with fluffs!)

Mr. and Mrs. Pocket Fluff

I'm back from my trip and been hard at work ever since!
The trip was fantastic and SO relaxing.
I definitely needed that.

I have the bride and groom Pocket Fluffs finished now!

 

She is wearing her wedding veil and he has on his sergeant patch.
I so enjoyed this custom order!



 
 
As usual, my son was helping me with the photos.
When I put the bride in the clovers, he said "she's so beautiful."
Haha! Guess that means I did my job then!



I doubt there will be any shop updates this week.
I'm going to be playing catch up on these custom orders for a little while now!
 
 
Oh, and here's a couple of pictures from my trip.
These gardens were absolutely gorgeous!

Custom Pocket Fluffs, an Anniversary, and Meet Doodle!

Whew, lots to share this week!

First, here's the Pocket Fluffs this week!
Some were custom orders, and some were listed in the shop, but all have moved onto new homes now!







This custom pair isn't quite finished yet (and I'll take better pics when they are), but I couldn't wait to share their progress! They are a bride and groom created to celebrate a wedding next year!
I couldn't wait to share them because yesterday (April 12th) was my 5 year wedding anniversary. :)


My husband and I had a wonderful time celebrating yesterday. The best part though? He surprised me with a weekend trip! We're leaving almost as soon as I finish this blog post!
I'm so looking forward to just relaxing for a couple of days. I'm bringing my sketchbook along, but I've been told no sewing is allowed. So no monster progress until Tuesday. :)

This last little one has a bit of a funny story.
I've been wanting a Pocket Fluff of my own ever since I made the first one.
I've been waiting for one to tell me that he's the fluff for me, but had no luck so far.
So I decided since this was my anniversary week, I would take matters into my own hands and just make one for myself.
I picked my very favorite fur and made this cuddly little Pocket Fluff:

Isn't that rainbow fur gorgeous??
 

I had one Pocket Fluff left from the last shop update and I kept thinking I really loved his face, so I made a similar one for her.
Unfortunately, when I finished her I realized she wasn't the one I've been looking for.
(She was listed in the shop and adopted pretty much right away, by the way. I can't wait to make more from this fur!)

Anyway, the funny part of this story...Remember this guy?

He was the last Pocket Fluff in the shop. He sat all week on my desk staring at me as his other pals headed off to new homes. As soon as I finished the rainbow fluff, this little guy told me he'd been meant for me all along.


So I'm happy to introduce you to Doodle, the official Pocket Fluff of Scribble Dolls.
He and I have big plans (okay, maybe not THAT big....but when you're the size of a Pocket Fluff, most plans are big).

I will be creating an album on facebook and a photo set on flickr titled "The Adventures of Doodle Fluff." On slow days, I'll share what Doodle has been up to lately! I think it'll be fun, don't you??
(And yes, Doodle is coming along for the trip this weekend!)

When I get back on Tuesday, I'll be back to work on my list of customs (one doll and a bunch of Pocket Fluffs!).

A Cuddle of Pocket Fluffs

Whew! These little Pocket Fluffs have been keeping me busy!
I decided to make a bunch for a shop update.


It was actually a lot of fun to have seven of these little guys here to play with!


These two were for a custom order.


Love the colors on this one! I think my next Pocket Fluff update will be in this color.


I'm also thinking about making a bigger guy out of this color (something similar to Furgle that I made a few weeks ago.)


These guys are all for the shop!


This little fellow is shorter and wider than the other Pocket Fluffs.
He says that just makes him more loveable though.
(He's already on his way to his new home!)


This little guy is the teeny little runt. He's just 2.5 inches tall!
He got snatched up pretty quickly.
(I'm not surprised...I *almost* decided to keep him for myself!)



This fellow found his new home right away too!

 
As I'm writing this, this poor little one is still looking for his forever home.
You can find his listing here!


This guy still hasn't found his home yet either. He's a bit sad that almost all of his siblings are gone.
You can adopt him here!

I think this next week I'll mostly be focusing on custom orders.
I want to mark off some of these names on the waiting list. :)

The Fluffs are Coming!

I am in Pocket Fluff heaven right now.
I didn't realize how quickly these little guys would multiply...(must be related to tribbles).

Here's the first two...

 
These little guys were custom requests, so they already had homes lined up.
(And they were quickly picked up just in time for Easter!)

 
They had a lot of fun together before they ran off to new homes.
It seems these guys like to have a friend to cause trouble play with.



 
 
I am SO in love with this guy's fur color!
 
 
There will be a whole cuddle of Pocket Fluffs in this color looking for a home by the end of this week.
(Yes, I said a cuddle of fluffs. That is apparently the collective name for these guys.)
 
I also learned this week that not all Pocket Fluffs are the same size!
There's one short, chubbier one, and one bitty runt in this cuddle! So exciting! :)
