The Plush You! show
The Plush You! show opened recently and blog posts with pictures have been popping up here and there. After reading a few of them, I didn’t see my little crochet buddies, but it was amazing and inspiring to see all the other plushie items. Adorn Magazine did a nice little write-up, Kristen Rask of Plush You! talked about the success of the show, as well as info about the 2008 Plush You! show, and lastly, Mai Le has a flickr set from the show. Excitedly, it was there that I caught a glimpse of my buddies:

Can you find 2 (out of 3…aw oh, where’s their sister Pink?”) oysters, 1 ice cream cone, and 1 s’more (or the top at least). I’m a wee bit sad I haven’t seen any clearer pictures of them, but they are quite small and were probably fairly shy around all the big plushies and big plushie names.
Apparently, the s’more and ice cream cone sold, but regardless, it’s such an honor to be involved in a show like Plush You!, when I still feel like a beginniner in the DIY/craft/design world. It’s only appropriate that I make simple, little things for now.
And speaking of little things (!), I got an order for 3 sets of candy corn/ghost finger puppets, which I list as adult/big kid size, with the possibility of making them for much smaller fingers. These sets were for a class of 2-year olds (hence, the french-knotted yarn eyes), for their Halloween treat bags! How I would love to see a classroom full of 2-year olds wearing my finger puppets!
