This is probably old news, blah blah, but it was actually cold enough to wear boots yesterday. It was rainy and dreary and cold, and things that a fall day should be. I did yoga to warm up in the morning, and we had homemade soup and warm crusty bread for dinner. I hope it stays fall again tomorrow.
While the rain falls, I have been sewing up a storm inside. My shop should be filled with a whole new class of new guys soon!
There are some new Halloween animals in my shop! Super scary too! Terrifying!
The black bat is ready to carve a pumpkin.
The legendary chupacabra is not as hungry for blood as he is for candy corn.
This orange guy was a special order through the shop. He happens to be a very seasonal color, but also, apparently, he is desperately needed to complete a Halloween costume requiring an orange raccoon. 
From the clues available, I assume the end result will be something a little like this. I guess my raccoon does make an ok stand in.
I love me some pumpkins. All shapes and sizes. Most especially the ones that seem to be the last ones in the pile. Nothing tugs at my heartstrings more than a lonely pumpkin.
I am all out of pumpkin bracelets at the moment, but tis the season, so I might have to make some more!
I put all these guys plus a whole bunch more into a big box together. I am sure they had a huge party. My shop is a little empty and lonely now, but I am looking forward to adding some new friends soon!
And if you are in Austin, you can find these little guys at the coffee/gift shop inside St. David’s near 8th and San Jacinto!
In between work, obsessively checking Twitter for updates about that royal baby, and watching live streams of hospital doors, I have been sew, sew, sewing for a local wholesale order. My favorite part is sewing their little eyes on and watching them come to life.
This little guy was a custom order. I usually make green rhinos, but this one wanted to be blue.
I have been making quite a few custom orders lately. I really enjoy the challenge of creating something unique. This scientist bird was a twist on another bird in my shop. It was way too much fun designing a lab coat for a stuffed bird.
These penguins are a custom request from Etsy. Someone asked if I could embroider some words on two penguins, and I decided to give it a try! I was kinda nervous about the hand embroidery, since it definitely is a challenge to embroider fleece, but I think it turned out pretty good. The handwritten lettering is part of the handmade charm, right?
Now off to your happy new homes, little penguins!
