Please vote for me!!!

I’m a finalist in the Etsy Handmade Kids Challenge! I’m so happy! Gerard, my “Hug Me! Slug” is is in the toy category. Please, please, please go vote for him (and me!) here. All you need is an Etsy user ID. It’s free and easy to get one. You can vote only once in each category and, by voting, you get a chance to win an Etsy shopping spree. You can read all about the Handmade Kids Challenge and Sweepstakes here.

This is Gerard. He has already found a home, but you can still see his listing here.

The photos on the voting page rearrange themselves, and so you might have to look for him a little on the page. Etsy will be having a guest panel of judges from Boingboing, Cookie, decor8, Martha Stewart Living, Ohdeedoh, Parents and Treehugger. I’m so excited. I have been on Etsy for some time now, hoping to be found amidst the many handmade items by all sorts of artists and craftspeople. Thanks Etsy!

Gerard is happy about it too, or I’m sure he would be. I hope someone will tell him!

I’m still making my dolls. They got dresses, stockings, and shoes today, or some of them did. I’m making progress.

Super Slug Comes to Save the Day

My “Hug Me! Slugs” are taking on mutant superhero powers.

This one has an attached cape in case he needs to fly.

He’s also got a bit of a potbelly. So, I don’t know how much altitude he is going to achieve. He has high hopes, at the very least.

Thanks, G.B., for the “Super Slug” suggestion.

I think today, I am going to take another look at my Lucy doll pattern and see if I can simplify it somehow. She seems to be well loved, but she’s a little complicated to make. I can’t say, as of yet, I know how to make her less complicated, but my mind is on it.
