The New Deal Fashion Show

http://www.edgeofurge.com/new_deal/

I've been accepted into the Handcrafted Market portion of this show. Its being presented by an awesome fashion designer that owns Edge of Urge in Wilmington. It's sure to be a very artsy fartsy day of...well, art...crafts, fashion, and music. I'm super excited! Hopefully "yall" can come out and see me...

I'm having a contest!

Contest is over, Johnson has a new home with a funny girl who names her tissue boxes.
The answer... I named him Johnson because of his color combination...like in Howard Johnsons. It used to be a hotel chain, back in the day. Thanks to those who played, I'll be doing this again soon!




If you can guess WHY I named this Tissue Monster, JOHNSON...you win HIM!







Just post a comment with your answer AND your email so that if you win, I can get your info to send him to you.









So, why do you think I named him Johnson?


Good Luck!


PS I just asked my husband if he knew the answer, he totally didn't. Here's a clue: It has nothing to do with boogers, colds, or bodily fluids.

I'm being published!

Two of my cuties are going to be in this book!

It's going to be my Cat Sugars and my Cookie Teddy Bear because they are made from upcycled clothing...

How exciting is that???

It's 80 degrees and...

... I haven't sewn a darn thing this weekend! Shoot! But I just can't stay inside. Hope "yall" are enjoying your weekend as well ;)

Fun New Fur and Wholesale

I just bought some new fun-ness, faux fur, that is fabulous! (say that fast 5 times)

I will be creating new Tissue Monsters this weekend, yay!

Also, I will be offering these cuties for wholesale, so if you know of a shop that should be carrying them, please let me know, or send them here .

Thanks for the love!

Happy Thursday, yay for tomorrow...

I am living...

...vicariously through my plush. I said this a few years ago when my plush were being sold in an art gallery in Hawaii. Now, I am saying it again!

Have you seen the first "Traveling Pants" movie? When one of the girls goes to Greece to visit her Grandparents. The Greek Island, all white buildings with blue roofs...that is my dream. I can't say "dream visit" or "dream vacation" because truly, it is more. The day that I arrive there, I am sure to cry, probably for days. I will be an emotional mess, in a good way though, overwhelmed with gratitude, thankful to be submerged in such beauty.

Oh...my plush...this cutie, right here.....

is on his way to Athens, Greece. I know, it's exciting! I'm holding back the "excitement" tears. But I DID do a dance!

Happy weekend!

I love me some Noah Scalin!

Doug and I met him a few summers ago at the Art-o-Mat Convention in Winston-Salem,NC. He was on about day 62 of his Skull-a-day project. He even added a skull he made on that trip to his blog, it's the one made of bed sheets from the motel we all stayed in. During the convention, he and I traded...I got one of his skull tees and he got one of my SkullShies. heehee. It's pictured on his blog too, with all the loot he collected from the trip.

Here is a clip of him appearing on Martha Stewarts Show...I guess I am 1 degree seperated from knowing Martha Stewart...cool.

Happy Valentine's Day!
