White Squirrel

I've been talking with the super nice owners of the local consignment shop in town for a few months about trying to get some stuff in their store but I've been so crunched for time that I've put it off until now. Every year this little town has a White Squirrel Festival and when I ran into the consignment shop owner a few weeks ago he told me his wife has been desperately seeking white squirrels. They forwarded me a link to the pattern that they'd found online at Pixie Kitten. It was so crazy cute that I bought the pattern and made my own little white squirrel. I finally finished it up the other day and dropped it off at the shop this morning where it stands as a one of a kind toy (until I get around to making some more). White squirrels are so hugely popular here that I think these would sell crazy well. So one down, dozens more to go!

Another Adorable Pirate Monkey

I am totally in love with making these pirate monkeys. They are just SO cute. I swear I have to keep one for myself eventually. I made the one above and sent it to our friends' adorable little man Memphis for his first birthday. Chris drew the card which Memphis won't even notice but we know that his parent's will really like. So I just got the photo below from them saying that he loves his new little pirate monkey. I'm super proud. I love knowing how something that I made was received. It kills me that I can never be there to see them open these presents so whenever I get any kind of feedback and, especially, a photo this freaking cute I just fill up with warm fuzzies.
