Easter Bunny Sock Doll

 Trying to keep up with making cat toys and yup another sock doll.   

This one is an Easter bunny sock doll.  I’ve sewed everything by hand and none of the items are removable.  Her hair braids are tied and sewn so they can not be undone ... unless you get the scissors out!  

Anyways, I do enjoy making dolls.  I would love to go back to making figurines out of Powertex which I started making when we were living in Alice Springs Australia since the product wasn’t available in the USA at the time.  It is now and has been since we moved back from down under which was in 2008.  Goodness that seems like sooooo long ago.  But for now I’m hooked on making sock dolls.  I just listed this cutie pie in my Bits Of Fiber shop on Etsy.   If you like her don’t wait to get her as I usually make just the one, the next one will be a different one.   Got some St. Patrick’s Day socks so gonna be working on that one next.  

Purple Bunny Kitty Toy

 I love love love purple and lavender colors.  They always make me happy when I make something with them.   

Busy making bunny Easter toys for the MauveMoose shop.  Don't you just loooooove this batik fabric!?  I sure do.  

I'm constantly making new toys and use fabrics for different designs.  So if you see an item you like don't wait to get it as I might not have more of that specific fabric.

More kitties and a bunny

 Been busy filling orders. 

Finished these two little kittens.  If you are interested in purchasing a kitty then message me since I don't have any in my shop right now but I can certainly make you one.  

Also been working on more baby octopus rattle toys to put in my BitsOfFiber Etsy shop.  

And just started working on some new ideas for the cat toy shop.  

Here is my first bunny I just listed in the MauveMoose shop.  

More bunnies and other Spring and Easter toys to follow.

Socks, dolls, cats and more socks!

 I’ve been wanting to make a cat sock doll but never liked any of the faces I’ve seen on other people’s sock dolls until I found one I liked.  So here she is ... and here she goes ... off to Oregon to make a young girl very happy since she was purchased by her grandma as a birthday gift.  And I’m making a couple more for another customer so needless to say I’m not bored these days since I’m still making cat toys as well.  

We finally got some snow today a whole 8 inches of it!  

My boots got all excited thinking they were back in Finland (where I was last year in February).  

Had to give them the sad news ... nope sorry we’re back in Virginia ... but still enjoyed the snow.

Meet Annabelle, the bright and cheery sock doll

 Oh my, time flies!  I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last posted.  But I do have a good excuse ... been busy, busy and more busy.  Cat toys have been flying out the door (a big thank you to all my kitty cat customers and their humans!).  Now that the Christmas rush is behind us I’m trying to get back into making things for my BitsOfFiber Etsy shop.  So here is Annabelle, a bright and cheery sock doll I made.  I’ve always enjoyed making dolls and figurines.  It gives me the chance to combine all the things I like to do, sewing, knitting, crocheting and making jewelry.  Although Annabelle isn’t wearing any jewelry.  I do want to start making dolls with clay body parts so I’m looking at taking some online classes in the near future.  But for now I’m having fun making sock dolls.  

Cute catnip toadstools for Valentine’s Day

New in our MauveMoose Etsy shop ... cute little catnip toadstools for Valentine’s Day!  Cats love little things to play with and if the item has some catnip inside of it, well that’s all she wrote!   Here our latest toy ... a cute little toadstool stuffed with fiberfil and of course our famous catnip.  I started making them for Valentine’s day since I found this fabric with the little hearts to make the perfect top for the toadstool but they also make awesome stocking stuffers!  Only have one in the shop but more will follow so hop on over to check out our MauveMoose shop on Etsy.

No snow but lots of sparkling ice!

 I love the snow, I love the cold and yes ... I even like the sparkling ice!  I don’t mind the ice so much now that I’m working from home and only have to go drive somewhere when I want to not because I have to.  Having two dogs I do have to go outside to let them take care of business.  Thanks to all the ice on the deck and the steps this morning we had to go out through the garage which totally confused them since it is their first winter at this house.  So for those of you who did get snow from this last storm, enjoy it!  I only have pictures of ice to share today.
