The other day I received a heart felt email from a worried dad. He told me that him and his family just returned from a trip and lost an important piece of luggage. In this luggage was his daughters dear “Nonie” whale plush and he was desperate to do anything he could to find a new Nonie for his daughter. He emailed me and asked if I could make him a Benny the Beluga Whale plush for his daughter and after some chit chat he decided to order two whales, one lavender and one light blue! Introducing Nonie’s long lost cousins, Bonie and Ronie!
I hope she likes her new whale friends. My heart goes out to the lost Nonie, but hopefully she is in a better place and Nonie’s cousins can help keep this little girls heart warm again :)

I was contacted earlier this year and commissioned to design and create a Peacock Plush for a friend I used to work with. His girlfriend LOVES peacocks and even has a large peacock tattoo on her side. He sent me some pictures of her tattoo and wanted me to make a peacock plush special just for her for her birthday in September. I love these kinds of orders, where I get to design the plush myself!
So I went to the drawing board and figured out how I wanted to make this plush. Here is what I came up with.
My friend gave the go ahead and I got to the sewing table! I added a few more embellishments with some beads to give it some more detail and I think it turned out fantastic! I might make a few more and sell them for a premium price on my Etsy store or at craft fairs as a “fine art” plush. I think it just turned out gorgeous :)

DUN DUN DUN! Here is the Minecraft Creeper! This guy is really creepy…I can’t even tell you how many times I walked past him on my craft table and just got the willies. He is also very large, so if for example he was chasing a small child, it would be life size. Very creepy. Also, I made it so he can rotate his head which adds +20 to creepy.
sssssSSSSSSSSsSSSsssssssSSSSSSSSsSSSSSSsssssssss!!!
Is there something behind me?! Please tell me there is nothing behind me…..!!!!!!
Also, I had to make this.

I made some more Moonkins in various colors and sizes to add to the collection of Moonkin plushies! I used fleece on these two Moonkin’s feet and claws instead of felt. And I also added some fur to the side of their arms for added feather action!

I was recently commissioned by one of the employees from airG, the company who created the game ‘Big Barn World’ to create one of the barn animals from their mobile game! It is the airG Piggy! He is fairly big and full love! He was fun to make too! I based him off of a Simplicity Elephant plush pattern I found at my local fabric store, but I modified it to be a piggy instead.

As Max said proudly,
"Hey, I've got an idea...and it doesn't involve high explosives!"
I too have come up with an idea…to create the ultimate video game plush ever! Sam and Max!!! Holy crap these guys are awesome!
Sam was tougher to sew and manage on the machine, but I think he turned out great! Max just turned out so cool! Check them out!

So I heard you like Mudkips…
Mudkip from one of my all time favorite games as a kid, Pokemon! This is a Soviet version of the Mudkip.
In Soviet Russia, Mudkip catch you!!!
This Mudkip was cool to make because i love his little feeties. The pattern will totally work with a regular Mudkip too, maybe I will make some!

Here is another plush based off of a sketch I did. I want to make two more of these cats, in different colors, breeds, and sizes and have them as a 3 piece set. I think this one turned out ok, but I want to tweak the pattern a bit more to get the right shape. I also kinda think the eyes are meh. He also has beans in his butt!
