A very belated Happy Mother's Day!

As is evident from the crookedness of stitches, I am a beginner to the chain stitch :)

Salvation for the Love-lorn

Jean-Paul...the new man in my life...I've been waiting forever, where O where have you been my lowe!!! Sigh :)


Too tiny to be stuffed, so he had to settle for being my bookmark :)


Note...big smile, big heart, BIG ears :) Just like the owner :P

Things that have kept me busy...and Yappy!! :)

[An old post I dredged up...fits on this blog, not elsewhere :) ]






Presenting... C.T.!! Coorg Tiger that is...Quite a cutie eh? Presented to Mrs. Bennet on her birthday last week. My first successfully-not-too-lumpy-looking stuffed toy :)

Pattern from Hillary Lang's Wee Wonderfuls.





And this is Paolo!! My first foray into independent stuffed bear design...and panda-making :) Quite the intellectual he is...what with snout buried in owner's future employer-newspaper and the dictionary. Also featured with his big-brother-for-a day Theo. Presented to Chithira on her birthday :)

- Pattern: Moi!!! (with cool blue tie for added panda-attitude)Coming up...your wish!! I've embarked on an obsessive toy-making spree...so let me know if there's an animal or character you like, and yours truly will take it up as a challenge to make!! :)

That creative side of me...

So I've been drawing, painting, and randomly reveling in all things handmade - making gifts/cards for friends, stuffed animals, embroidery, etc etc - all my life, but only recently has this urge to make, make, make struck the self so violently. So I figured the only way to balance a henceforth hectic existence (assuming my first job will be at least a little demanding!) is to start indulging in some all-out creativity. And what better way to force myself to do that than to dedicate a blog to my crafty-ness! (ha ha, yeah right...this coming from a lazy blogger!)

But anyway, I hope all the goodies I've made till date will inspire me to make more and better ones...ha ha, yeah right again! Hey, but one can hope :)

Enjoy all that is to follow! :)
