i am newly in love with small plush animals! they are so cute. here are a few of my favorites from etsy/flickr…. this little dude
and an artist who i just adore, amanda visell.(of course, i loooove this peter pan one…)
and what i love most from her… her toy/sculpture work. it’s beautiful!
looking forward to sharing more eye candy each day and some sneak peeks from my etsy update coming up on the 1st. i will give you a hint, the sock monkey will make a few more appearances, as will the animal theme and some brand new embroidery patterns (some of them by special request from my blog readers!!)
in other news, i did some studio photos for jeremy the other night and he added a ton of them to his myspace page, along with a new song from his upcoming album! here are a few of my favorites….
and a new (just for fun, not very serious) photo to share with you. vanessa took this one. i purchased this dress from a thrift store last week and it was just begging to do a silly photo shoot!

I’m trying to find a dealer online for the Gocco but I’m coming up dry. Can you tell us where we can purchase one?
Those are the cutest plush animals i’ve ever seen!! Great pics. of Jeremy, as well as the picture of you! 😀
That little whale is so adorable. And I absolutely love the picture of Jeremy playing the cello-or at least that’s what I think it is. I’m not very familiar with instruments. You are a great photographer.
Love the little stuffies! So cute. Wow gorgeous picture of you! Just found your blog. Have a great day!

SUPER CUTE octopus skirt! I love your fashion photos…they are way fun and your specs are stunning 🙂 have an awesome Wednesday!!!
Elsie, you are such a beautiful lady!!
Loved those plush toys, especially the many legged one.
Those toy sculptures are wonderful.
Your photo shoot of Jeremy must have been so much fun!! It is so great that you two are able to create together.
i saw that peter pan art on a postcard at disneyland and loved it! it was promoting something so they were free, i had to take one because the drawing is so great!
I think I wore a dress just like that to my Junior prom!
Thanks for the memories!
that octopus skirt is pretty stellar.
Love your inspiration posts!!! I adore all of the goodies you chose and see why they are inspiring!

Thank you thank you for sharing! I’ve been feeling that surge of creativity quite a bit lately, too,but am stuck in an office all day. If I set up a mini craft studio at my desk, they won’t notice, right??? If only…
