A few weeks ago I was about to visit a friend I had not seen in 3 years~ 2 years ago he asked me to make him a Shmee from the comic Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.  With just two days to go I ran to the thrift shop, picked up a teddy bear for 50 cents, hacked him up a bit, glued and sewed some felt to him and VIOLA!  Shmee!


He really loved his shmee!





I was happy to give an old unloved teddy a new life and home.

This past week I started making jewelry.  I wrapped some petrified wood that I found in Arizona in copper that I stripped from a cord. My boyfriend Trey did the pendant on the right for his sister, i got the beads and made the hemp necklaces and the one on the left.  I also made a necklace with a awesome bright blue skull bead I bought for just 60 cents!  I also got hot pink, orange, white, and green skulls.  
See how the bark is still there on the left necklace?  I thought it was cool.  



Thanks for looking! I hope to make some more this week.

So, I make these weird little creatures that I call Yetis.  A lot of my friends really love them and one of my friends really wanted a back pack Yeti.  So, I made one!  I love him soooo much and can't wait to find some more furry fabric to give me an excuse to make one for myself.

Sooo I had this really comfy skirt that was a bit too large and too long for my taste, and a really cute tank top that had a few stains on the belly part of it...So I put the two of them together!

I made a wallet out of an old Disney cassette tape and a Beatles "Yellow Submarine" 2008 Calendar!  I love it!!





It's a little crooked when zippered up.. but that''s Ok.  It's supposed to be    Now I have to make one for my Mom- she loved it so much!  Hope you enjoy!

My mom loves giraffes.  So for Christmas this year I painted her one.  I got this idea from a painting I saw a long long time ago...

There's a few things I'd change about it... but not bad for am amateur! 

When I was Nine I made a pretty ugly clock for my dad's garage...  He is always working in his "man cave" on furniture, clocks, his MG TC or other various projects.  So for Christmas this year I decided to upgrade his childish time piece into something a little more... Grown Up. 

I bought a plain clock from Lowe's Hardware and a scrapbook paper kit from wal*mart and voila!



"Bruce's Workshop"


While checking out they had Christmas Cacti on sale, so I bought one and spiffied it up:


I made a little sign with cardstock and a painted plastic knife:

In retrospect, I wish I had written care instructions on the backside...  But live & Learn!  He loves it! Not bad for last minute gifts.

So... a while ago I started making these little monsters that I call "Yetis".  For about 8 months I stopped making them and then I went insane and made a ton!  here's a few.  Most of them are sold, and some of them are just hanging around.  They're made from whatever cheap fabric I can find (thrift, dept, given by friends) and stuffing.  Plus other little odds and ends.    I love 'em!



Dready Yeti w Brother, perhaps?


This one was made for my nephew's first birthday


These little guys made for a coworker's daughters  for Christmas

A whole bunch getting ready to be shipped and sold


Hope you like 'em! Although they are a bit crazy, they are very loveable

Two Christmas presents for my friends!


I am really happy with the horns, although one leg is considerably shorter than the other, oopsies!



This one is awesome!  My friend requested a bondage one.  So here he is!  Complete with nipple rings, a zipper mouth that is also a pouch for carrying things, leather straps and ass-less chaps (I forgot to take a picture of this unfortunately  )




(I really like the fabric I used for inside his mouth!)



My initials (you can kind of see his furry little butt cheeks in this one- so cute!)


Thanks for looking!  Comments and Questions welcome!  Sorry for the crappy pics I really hate my camera... but atleast I have one!
