Stuffed DJ Monsters and Hats

It's been a while. I've been swamped with other non-creative things lately. Although today I think I managed to figure out my headphone problem for my DJ monsters. I still have a lot to work on to get them completed, but so far it's been pretty fun.

I am also working on six hats for a friend of mine. I was having a hard time with sizing since I only have my own son's head to work with, but I think I've figured it out.

This week has kind of been a fog, with Thanksgiving around the corner. Photos of current projects soon.

Have a good holiday!

New Monster Eyes

I just received eyes from a different seller on etsy. i like these MUCH better than the previous. I am very excited to use these guys. my husband started talking about how to make LED lights to shine behind the eyes and when you press on them they would go on and off. not suitable for children ;) but adults wold love 'em!

I've been finding some new ideas for body shapes. Sometimes I just have monster block! Ray has agreed to draw some face ideas for me to try out.

our weather here in norcal has been unusually warm, mid 70s to 80s. Quite nice in mid November. Riding my bike around with Mason on the front has been quite delightful.

Hopefully more photos soon with what I'm up to.

Stuffed Monster Sisters

My sister requested a custom project for a friend of hers that just had a new baby. She also has a 3 year old daughter.I don't know what their names are yet. Any suggestions?

In other news the sewing room is shaping up nicely. Having no money to spend sparks the imagination to come up with solutions. Ray helped modify boxes from his work to become shelves for holding all of the fabric.

I got a ton of fabric samples from an interior design place. They were just going to throw it all away. I dug threw it and got a ton of cool fabric for free!! I just finished washing it and now the only hard part is deciding what to use!! Some of it is too cool to sell, I will have to make some things for myself ;)

Stuffed Monsters Get New Eyes

I received some new acrylic eyeballs today. Thought it would be cool to have some variety. They are hand painted and purchased here.


A couple of them have a tiny chip in them and I am wondering if it's worth replacing. I got 8 pairs for $12. My DJ friend just asked me to make a few DJ monsters for him, that should be a fun project.

The Etsy Treasury!

Someone has added my light green pom pom hat to their treasury! yay! you an check it out here

A lot going on the past few days, I haven't even had time to write a brief update!! Five new monsters have been added to the store! I just finished a pillow size one, he's pretty cool and can be snuggled with. The only problem with the big ones is they take A LOT of fill. I switched to an eco-fill which is a little bit more expensive and softer so I will need to use more of it than the regular poly-fill.

Many people keep telling me they will want to buy things for the holidays which means I will need to get cracking! I may hold off on the name that monster contest until afterwards, we'll see.

Here's a new monster that was just posted
