Mr Bat

After few monthes   finally i made my first bat. 
Huge Thanks to my dear customer for the PATIENCE and kindness! 
Thank you, dear Elizabeth!

Customer requirements for the bat were:
-  bat boy  in a medium size ( 26 cm)
-  wings to have a layer of lace over a more transparent cloth
-  natural and warm earthy tones ( Its easy, they are my favorite :) )
-  the  body  from  faux-fur

Bat's wings was the longest decision) I tried many ways of  different lace, but finally it looks wonderful .Well i decided to add lace to his ears too, velvet brocade fabric for wings, tea dyed lacy bow and bronze tones button was added in the end. 
Furry body and legs are in the place.
What can i say! I'm in love with him. I cooked him in my head for long, and now it's so sad to let him go) But i gonna make few brothers and sisters for him in the future)

Mr Bat .
He is so lovely boy,so we cant stop to take photos of him)

Healing

For those who know the entire story , our dog's Tango broken jaw heals quickly , and he feels well. Yesterday I stopped to make an injections to him. Today for the first time since may 9, I gave him his meals in usual type, like before, but not crushing it in a blender to puree, like this days. He was so happy and could not believe that all is getting well as before.
Before meal today, he looks at me, inevitably, waiting that i , as usual these weeks ,will make him the meds injections. But I do not, and he was surprised, he could not believe it, and walking around, looking at my eyes:'' 'What? are you seriously? no injections? Hooray!!''

Thank you for your support, my wonderful people!
Wishing health and all the best to you and your four-legged friends














































Well, like my dog, I also began to feel better last week.
When in mid-April, after more than two months of severe pain in my leg and back, my sister persuaded me to go to the doctor, I found out that I have two spinal disc herniations, i panicked .
I always thought that I have good health. I'm vegan since 2009, sometimes make exercises and yoga, but in fact ,most of my time i spending on my butts around sewing machine or computer, and i gained extra weight again, drunk too much strong tea and sometimes coffee , and my sleep was not enough.
I thought I can always get in shape when I have time.
When i realized i have this spine problem, i spent our last money for manual therapist, who do not particularly helps.
I went to the other end of town to the therapist and more tired from the trip, than feel the benefit of therapy. Then the money ran out, the therapy ended with them.
I do not like doctors and medicine, I do not believe in pills and strong medicaments.

After the owner of another dog hit my dog on the street and broke my dog's jaw few weeks ago , I looked up from my problems and my panic changed to confidence that i can heal myself without help of doctors and medicines, like i used before.
My husband recently told me - that is the best in the world, for free. Well ,why I forgot about it?

During Last 2 weeks i go back to my raw food, drinking lots of water, sleeping at night, making exercises for make my back stronger, and feel myself MUCH better.

I work very slowly, or sometimes not at all.
My dear customers, i apologize for that. Now when i start feeling better, i hope to make all the custom and my own creatures, which i have on my head.



Stay crafty , healthy and positive my wonderful people!

This week my Most Favorite Wassupbrothers family members began to travel to their new homes in US.

It is always not easy  when they fly away, especially if they lived with you for some time.
If I had just made them  it is easier to let them  go .
Have a nice flight, cuties! Take good care of yourself!



My other loving ones moved to their new home in Australia.Sunshine Lion and Naranja owl.

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat


I think many of you know this wonderful poem from childhood. But for me this poem became the opening of this year. "The Owl and the Pussycat" is a nonsense poem by Edward Lear, first published in 1871.Lear wrote the poem for a three-year-old girl, Janet Symonds, the daughter of Lear's friend poet John Addington Symonds and his wife Catherine Symonds. 

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat

BY EDWARD LEAR (1871)
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
   In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
   Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
   And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
    What a beautiful Pussy you are,
         You are,
         You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"


II
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
   How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
   But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
   To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
   With a ring at the end of his nose,
             His nose,
             His nose,
   With a ring at the end of his nose.

III
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
   Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
   By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
   Which they ate with a runcible spoon;   
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
   They danced by the light of the moon,
             The moon,
             The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

For the last monthes i saw many ''owl and cat '' themed items.

Here is some of the   things  that catch my eye.




















1. Owl & Cat Sewing Kit by OwlandCatDesigns on Etsy
2  The Owl and the Pussy Cat Brooch set by Natalie Hough on Etsy
3  The owl and the pussycat by  Joey's Dream Garden on Flickr
4  The Owl and the Pussycat cake by Sweet Tiers on Flickr

After several people asked me if I will do this sweet coupleI decided to create  my own version of the story.  
And started from the little pussycat.  I changed her nose a few times in the process, but now I'm satisfied with her little face. 


Now she need matching owl and a  boat for  two)
Until i made the right matching owl for Kitty, and fabric boat , she posing on camera with Emerald owl and paper boat.







Emerald owl is one of my latest creations. One of my dearest fans said - he looks like he's wearing a little kilt.
 He he ) I like the idea. He must be from Scotland.

Rabbit of my heart. Begining


Today I sent the Rabbit  for a new owner in Texas. It is sad but im happy for him) Hope he will get great home ) 
I put a soft carrot in his  package, and now he has something to chew on the journey .





The most interesting thing about him -  he is my very first soft creation. It's all began from him. Of course i ve made stuffed toys  and dolls  before, time to time ,for presents , for friends.  But when the  rabbit  was born in 2009,  i realized that i want to create more and more, and really love to make my little friends , but later after some time,  my feeling died down, and i was focused in other things in life. 
At the end of  November 2011 my imaginary creatures began jump out of my head and i create my first owl.    
Here he is.  Daddy owl )
