It's going to be a Zoo!

Way back in March I made a zoo themed birthday card for my nephew Ethan, and it was a hit! Well I used the concept at work and now some of my characters have come to life and they are now plush. I am super excited to see them in the market and I think they turned out really cute.

Illustrated card by ME!


My characters in plush form!

Designer Apron

I designed this apron as a gift, and I think it turned out really well. Instead of apron ties I made simple but fun ribbon belt. I may need to make more!

Halloween goodie!

I am whipping up my very cute and decorative Halloween cookies! Here is a bit of decoration for my plate. I will finish them up tonight and share with you. They are super easy to make but take a bit of time.

Sorry my posting has been sparse this week. I am training my new boss and they have not replaced my co-worker yet! Yikes

Fall is here

I love fall, however here in Ohio it still feels like summer.... sigh. I have forced myself to get my Halloween cards together and here is my inspiration board so far.

Happy Pug-o-Ween!


Wrigely has been many things for Halloween and Christmas... a dinosaur, the abdominal snowman, and even the Grinch! I usually make her pug costumes but I found a great deal and a baby custom at the Gap clearance center and she maybe going as the bat eared dog this year!

She is so scary! She really does like to be dressed up, even though Brad doesn't think so.

Baby on the way

Jim at work, and his wife are expecting their baby today. I hand made six baby blocks for their little girl and I even included different bells in each one. These are a great gift but they do take a lot of time to make!


Sorry my pictures are not very clear. Next time I will get a better photo.

Target Halloween

Has anyone been to Target yet? The Halloween set looks amazing. I just bought the giant gummy frog for my little brother, and now Brad wants to dissect it! I might need to buy him one of his own. Make sure you check out Target Halloween when you get a chance. The gummy eyeball tray is pretty cool too!

other cool items include; petri dish, candy test tubes, corpse count down, and the hairy pet tote.
