Loving the Monsters

Okay, I am on a new kick...stuffies. I have made some before, mostly felt ones. But now that I am in a stuffie swap on Craftster, I am making more. More than I needed to. And I have sketches for even more...almost an army.

This guy here was so fun to make. And he was kind of freehand based off one of my sketches. He looks nothing like the sketch. But I love him. Plans to make another are already in my mind, but, well, um, I forgot to copy the pattern. But I am still going to try.


After the blue guy was done, I wanted to make my 3 Eyed guy. My mind was envisioning a larger monster, but something said "keychain" to me. SO I made a teeny one. Loved him so much, I plan to make many more. Which shop they will go in? Not sure yet. They are an accessory, so the bag shop would work..b.ut the Too shop is a mish mash where monsters may feel more at home.

And that army...here are 3 WIPs ready to roll. And the sketch book has about 12 more. I plan to alternate X number of bags, then that number of monsters. I don't want to get too "stuck" on one.

Oh yeah...if you are wondering which one is for the stuffie swap - none of these. I won't post pics until my partner receives...no spoilers in case she peeks over here :)

And the Winner is...

... Just Jingle

She is now the proud owner of a felt Flying Pig. Easy to feed...no mess to clean up...and won't oink too loud when visitors arrive. She has a great blog herself...you should go check it out. And bonus, she has some giveaways going on now too!



I thank everyone who joined in my first ever giveaway here on Tilt's Creations (do I sound like a game show yet?). I hope to have many more of these. If at any time any of you would be interested in sponsoring a giveaway, feel free to contact me here, my email (it's in my profile) or over on one of my shops.

That little piggie inspired a few more felties. This one here is the first that made it from sketch to sew (there are still some fixes to make). I used a pattern from softies by Therese Laskey for this first one. It's siblings will be changed up a bit as I redesign them to better fit the way I work. It is a fab & fun book for anyone interested in making some little soft friends.

Goth Bear Feltie WIP

I enjoyed making all the little felties for the Whedonverse swap so much, that I have not stopped. I made a flying pig ( 2 actually - 1 for a giveaway and 1 for my son) and am in the midst of a "teddy bear". I hope to finish it up by tomorrow & put her up in my Tilt Too shop. I have about 10 more sketched out. I guess I'll have to start alternating between handbag and feltie. Which actually works out well, since the felties are by hand and quiet for evening work.



I am always open to critiques ... but not rude and crude ones, that's just not nice :) And thoughts for future felties are welcome too.
