Fishies!

Stuffie, plushie, softie, whatever you call them, I have become a total junkie! If it's soft and handmade, I love it! I'm currently in a Stuffies Galore swap, so I'm making these little guys for my part. I get to send out five stuffies and get five back. I've already received a ladybug and a trio of strawberries.
These little fish are made using a pattern from Funky Friends Factory. I love the way that repositioning the eyes gives them a completely different personality!


I'm finding the process of stuffie making frustrating, rewarding and magical! It's amazing to me that when I follow the directions, no matter how weird, I end up with a little creature! I've been trolling the internet for patterns and tutorials so I can join more swaps! LOL! Not sure when I'll take time to make new stuff for my own shop. Right now, I'm having fun doing stuff for me!

Hilarious! I was going to make you a trio of strawberries for the swap. Glad I followed your link. Now I will come up with something else. :)

I love this! It reminds me of a bright pink dog my sister made for me when I was little. I haven't thought of that dog in years. : ) He was the same material and I think he either only had eyes or didn't have any face at all - she wanted him to be totally cuddly and safe. Awww. I think I'll call her. : )
