I met Lil Bub today and was able to give Lil Bub and her dude the crocheted version of Lil Bub I had made, as well as a print of a painting I had done.

If you're pretty close to it, definitely!  I've heard it's a pretty good one, more of an indie thing than the previous two I've done...  I have a feeling I won't be the youngest vendor there by 20+ years like the last two, either.

new possible postcard design.  Haven't completely decided when I'm going to get these printed, or if this will be the final version.

After meeting Lil Bub at the cat vid fest in Minneapolis on Thursday, I had to make my own Lil Bub.

St. Cloud State University's Lemonade Concert & Art Fair went pretty well!  It was my first craft fair, so I wasn't sure what to expect.  I ended up selling 10 animals, out of 30.  I kind of learned what people are more interested in, and what they're not so interested in...I ended up not selling any moose or pigs, not that they weren't liked, they just had some tough competition between turtles and penguins.  The next craft fair I'm participating in is in Braham, MN for Braham Pie Days.  I have a little more time to prepare than the last one, and I have a leg-up with my leftovers from the SCSU craft fair.

The Hitcher from the Mighty Boosh.  This was my very first attempt at making my own pattern.  I spent a solid three days working on this between work and school.  I have lots of ideas for other Boosh character inspired dolls.  I really want to get around to making a talking Tony Harrison...but the bigger ones can get so time consuming that I've just been working on smaller non-TV/movie characters in preparation for some possible craft shows.

The first commission I had gotten.   I finished these around the week of my graduation.  A turtle, a giraffe, and a lion.  I liked the simplicity of the turtle, so I've made a few more of them over the last week, but I haven't made any more of the other two.  Unfortunately, within a few hours of receiving them, the purchaser's dog had ripped the heads apart..

Wedding puppies!  Pattern by Mitsuki Hoshi.  I added white ribbon roses and a small veil for the bride and a top hat and black bow tie-esque ribbon
