JellyBean Critters are PURRfect for Easter Baskets!

There is one bunny, HOPPIE, in this bunch ... but any of these OOAK kitties will be PURRfect for any Easter basket.  These little critters are a result of my love of my two granddaughters and of my cats.  I made one after an idea suggested by a friend, and my older granddaughter begged for one.  Well, it snowballed from there... granddaughter has several (I have to hide new creations, that are made for sale or on commission, from her).  The ones above can be found at my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CherChic


I also have a few listed at my Artfire shop (more images below): http://www.artfire.com/users/CherChic

READY FOR EASTER!

Any one of these will be a wonderful surprise for an Easter basket!  

Left: AMORIE, the chocolate point primitive kitty.

Middle: CLORMEY, the impish little caterpillar in festive spring colors.

Right: HOPPIE, a white primitive bunny.

All three are of my origin designs inspired by creating things for my two granddaughters.

Please visit my shops for these and more!

Discovery in a Dresser

I peeked into a dresser in which "stuff" was stored and I found a kitty shape that I made many years ago of muslin. Now, muslin is what I use in trying out new ideas of my own creation.

The kitty design is one that I plan to explore further - I am deconstructing it and using the pieces for a pattern. However, I have already analyzed the object and plan to make a few changes. I will post what develops later on.
June 28, 2010 UPDATE:  This is still in the making.  I hit a "bump in life" in having to spend more time monitoring my father -- I am not complaining as that he is dear to  me.

What Are JellyBean Critters?

I have started adding stand alone pages to my blog. Look at the top and click on the link for further information about my JellyBean Critters. I will keep adding to the page when I make a new critter, such as HOPPIE, as pictured below. I enjoy making up new critters for my granddaughter. I get such delight when she visits my each weekend and asks, "What did you do this week?" We exchange information about her experiences in her second grade school life and about my endeavors, etc.

I made some pom pom chicks for her last week and plan to put them into a basket as an Easter gift in addition to HOPPIE, which she has not seen, yet. I have to get some photos done and post with this writing. There are not enough hours in the day.

Next week I will be focusing on making her two spring outfits. I went fabric shopping yesterday and enjoyed looking at the material and wonderful prints.

HOPPIE HAS ARRIVED!

(Click on image above to go to my Etsy shop, Cher Chic).

I have tweaked my creation for HOPPIE, primitive bunny, newest addition to my JellyBean Critters. The one pictured here is for my granddaughter. However, I can make more on request, which should be made no later than March 25th in order to be received before Easter. I can make the bunny from a tan, or camel, color flannel if so desired.
