SEW SEW SEW WHAT'S NEW?!

WOAH! IT'S BEEN A WHILE!

I realized that I hadn't posted in almost a month! I've been so busy over the last 6 weeks. I got older, almost sold out of toys at Wodonga Carnival Wild, Have a new AWESOME JOB that I didn't have to go to the city to get AND I'm moving out this week or next.
So where do I find time to sew? HA! THERE IS ALWAYS TIME TO SEW AND CREATE!!! I just have less time to sleep and post blogs! haha.

I've only had time to check my emails every second day however, last night I checked my email after shooting a short film with my best buddies(yeah, I even find time for that!)and guess what?!

I got an email from Cranky Yellow saying that I'm one of the artists selected for the Crammed Organisms Show (check out the extremely awesome advert for it to the top right). It is going to be a brilliant show! I only wish flying over to the US was a little cheaper, I think I will go for my pilot's license after all :)I can afford to fly my softies over for the show I'm sure they'll tell me all about it if they come back home that is.

I recommend you all check out the website because there are a lot of great links, inspiring artists from all over the world and The website is just so fan-dangled you don't want to miss checking it out!

So, back to other news on the Pickled Tink softies front. Blarney Bug did really well in his section of the parade on Q.D.Patooties, He didn't win but he though puss in boots was very dapper and charismatic indeed. Blarney Bug has decided that maybe he'd have a better chance if he didn't drink so much Guinness right before the parade.

Check out SOFTIES CENTRAL on flickr to enter the 2nd Annual Softies Awards. It's lots of fun and anyone can enter....no I don't know if you win anything I just went i it cos it's fun!

Ok well, I have lots more little bits of news but I have itchy fingers that just have to go and create my little plushies friends sitting patiently in my imagination.

Toodle pip for now :)

Busy Blythenstien Weekend

I spent most of the weekend working on Frankie and her Blog rather than making the new softies I'd designed the week before.

I did however make my boyfriend a companion cube softy for St Valentines Day. he was so stoked he's still grinning about it!

The other softy-related thing I managed to do in amongst housecleaning and Blythe scalp-plugging was to take a few photos of some softies a made at the end of last month (see pictures above). They are going up for sale on Etsy after I finish this blog.

Introducing Milly Monsters

Coming soon to my Etsy shop are a motley bunch of lovable, cuddly monsters.

Milly monsters may look a little crazy but they are always there to make you smile by pulling a funny face.

Each monster is unique and has been designed to suit all ages especially young children with the use of safety eyes and easy washability.

Milly Monsters are named after my younger sister. She can be an absolute terror some times and her many moods are represented in the faces of these monsters.
