Plushies Galore!

I've gotten interested in plushie making recently, and it ALL started with the picture you find below. Aiwa is the talented crafter of these lovely plushies, and you should really visit her site if you would like to see some REALLY good plushies.


Now, other pictures that are currently inspiring my plushie making ventures.


^^Another one by Aiwa^^
I believe this ^^^^ is my next project....we will see. I did buy those eyes the other day though... :)
Look at this stitching on this ^^^^ OMG!!! I can only dream about stitching that neat......for now :)
^^ These are just too cute. I wonder how you would end up getting the edges browned like that......maybe you can lightly burn it? Any ideas on that???
This toast was made by someone I know personally who said that I inspired them to make these! Aren't they cute?!?! She used her own little spin on them and I think they are adorable! Sew Amore is the name of her blog, which you should really check out. She's got a really neat etsy shop of the same name, Sew Amore, where she sells beautiful, handcrafted jewelry!

Those are just some of the things that are currently inspiring me. I thought someone else out there might get inspired....or just love all the cuteness!! I'm always searching for pictures as inspiration so I may be posting more, this is a great way to save lots of ideas :)

I think you should follow my friend Lindsay's blog. She has just gotten into plushie making too. She makes some cute things already! She made me a hamster & she recently made a fox which was ADORABLE! She doesn't have a shop yet but I believe she is planning on opening one this summer when her husband will be away for a few months. She is really sweet! She would love it if you introduced yourself to her too! :)

This is her blog
