One of my projects

So lately I have taken on several projects at once.  This is very unlike me but I am just so excited for them that I just couldn't wait.  Yes, I still have my quiet book to do and sewing machine cover to finish but I just couldn't wait any longer to make these little guys!!! I love them.  The elephant is made out of two socks and the bunny is made of two gloves!! I rented this book out from the library and have been waiting and waiting to start them. But I kept telling myself "NO Jessica! Not until you are done with your other projects." And my subconscious had been whining ever since so I decided just to do it.

I am planning on making a whole family but these are just my first two.  So I will post more pictures later.  I put beans in their bums so it makes it easy for them to sit. They are just so soft, squishy, and fun!

McKay came home after I made the rabbit and he was secretly in love with it.  He acted like it was super dorky but then begged me to make him one. hehe. So I made him the elephant and now he cuddles with it while he watches TV. haha :)

I have also been scouring Boston for good thrift stores. I am searching them for some projects I have in mind but I can't tell you what they are yet.  Boston deserves a kick in the butt for trying to sell junk for super expensive prices. They just slap the word "vintage" or "shabby chic" on it and all the sudden these secondhand jeans are $40?! Unfortunately I didn't find anything I wanted. I guess I will have to make rounds again.  The secondhand store that I find the best is the Goodwill in Davis Square.  Granted, it is no D.I. but it's a pretty good option for out here.

Look at this little cookie jar! I LOVE IT.  Too bad you are WAY too ridiculously expensive.  Sorry Anthropology, I am banning myself from your store. It's just too sad.
