the name game...

a big warm hello to you all on this grey and overcast Monday...the day started out so sunshiny and bright but the rain is falling and my tootsies are cold! after a very restful mothers day i managed to whip up a new little softie similar to my other babushkas but with less felt, more fabric and a little bit bigger.

i hope to make a few of these and have them nestled in a basket waiting for a new home along with a few other softies. these dolls are small enough to fit in a small childs hand, easy to grasp and although it has a sequin on it i feel that it is small enough not to pose the threat of choking.

now my question to you is...what do i call these new little plushies?? i have this little bunny design i worked on last year, i have only made this one and am yet to attempt another..

i would like to make enough to fill a little basket and then have a tag on the basket with a cute little name for this eclectic bunch of softies...so far i have come up with these two choices...

'itty-bitty port-a-pals' or 'itty-bitty buddies' what do you think?? are either of those names good enough? or can you think of a better name?!?

i would love to know what you think. i wont ask you to price them for me cause i know how hard that is :)

i am also working on another design, why? cause i love to send myself batty 0_o

hope you had a wonderful mothers day, i did. totally spoiled yet again.

little bunny 'treasure pouch'

i managed to stitch this little pouch last night, similar to the chicken pouch, however this time i used those claspy things (for the first time) and added a ribbon.

i added the heart to cover up the little stitches made from the clasp.

the little tail is made of felt and glued on. i just love it!

it can hold a small amount of money or other little treasures.

i am really happy with the end product. the ribbon allows it to be worn safely around the neck or when not in use it can be hung anywhere adding a little prettiness wherever it is left.

yes that is me modelling the pouch because two of my models are at school and the other is asleep.

i am hoping to add a set of three 'treasure pouches' to my etsy shop for one low price which as afiori pointed out would be more economical to post. etsy is a funny thing, on one hand it is nice to know that i have my products out there and anyone can buy them but i also know that anyone can make these item so why buy mine and my items are of no comparison to other people. so why sell? because you gotta start somewhere :) what other avenues are there? i would like to hear your ideas. i will have a market stall one day when i create enough stuff to make it look right.

ok if you want to learn more about the guys below visit my other blog. i am just about to post about them...
