New Designs, New Shops
Some old designs, first: my football beer cozies, baseball beer cozies, and rainbows are off to Youngblood Gallery & Boutique in Atlanta, Georgia. This will be my 2nd gallery experience, although this time around, they are not part of a show, but taking up residence in the boutique part of the venue. Exciting!
Some more old designs, but slightly modified: my clementines are going to the beautiful vintage baby site, The Baby Gardner. But, to make these more baby-friendly and baby-happy, they will have French Knotted yarn eyes (instead of beads) and little bells inside. Yep, they are adorable clementine rattles!
And now for some brand-spankin’ new designs! The saddest item I’ve ever seen on a restaurant menu is “sauteed baby octopus,” and even though I do eat fish, the image of a tiny octopus on a plate can only evoke melancholy in me. So, as a tribute to these cute little creatures, my very own baby (blue) octopus:
Finally, a little green frog that reminds me of a cactus-meets-alien-meets frog. Both the frog and the octopus are made from organic cotton, a super soft yarn, from Lion Brand that comes in really nice, muted colors.

I eat fish and sometimes other meat, but I can’t bring myself to eat octopus. They have short natural lives (only two or three years, even for the giant species) but they’re *neat*: They’re intelligent and unusual and fascinating. For some reason, a halibut doesn’t do it for me like an octopus does. Sometimes that strikes me as a moral failing; why doesn’t the halibut get my protection? Well . . . my dogs get my protection more than the halibut does, too. Emotions are weird things.

I LOVE these! I have been bugging my mom to show me how to crochet (I used to along time ago but I need a refresher I think cuz I remember NOTHING) so I could make a bunch of these myself.
Oh and btw, the baby gardner is very cool. Thanks for sharing!
