NOT The Big Bad Wolf

I had the pleasure to work on another custom order for a new customer this past week.  The customer requested 2 plush heating pads in the likeness of wolves.  I spent a few days searching for the right fabric.  Once I found it I got to work.  Here is the result:



Two cute, cuddly, not so scary wolves.  One has an all grey body, while the other has a white tummy and bottom legs.  I hope the two lucky boys receiving these for Christmas enjoy them, while keeping nice and cozy and warm. :)

Om Nom!

Who wants to Cut The Rope on their Christmas tree this year?

Here's the perfect ornament for any Cut the Rope fan




This little guy sat and stared at me all night last night.  How can you resist those eyes? :)

This guy is for sale in my shop: www.warmfuzziesbygen.etsy.com.  He's made to order (this one is already sold), so make sure you allow enough time for Christmas delivery.

Tree Time!

With only 39 days to go until Christmas. Now is the time to think about your tree.  Every year we visit our local tree farm, Benjamin Tree Farm , to cut down our Christmas tree.  This year, all of my products will be available for purchase in their gift shop! So, if you are local to the Waterloo area, check out Benjamin Tree Farm.  Don't worry if you already have a tree, you can simply enjoy the free hot apple cider and cookies while doing a little last minute shopping. :)

Stripy Cat

I ordered some new fabric that I thought looked kind of interesting online. When it arrived I wasn't sure if I liked it, or what I would use it for.  I have been busy preparing my products to take to Benjamin Tree Farm for the Christmas season and thought I would give the fabric a try.  I thought it would be most suited to a cat.  Here are the results.



I think it turned out rather well.  The fabric itself is incredibly soft.  This would make a wonderful gift for yourself, or someone you love.
This cat will be available for sale at Benjamin Tree Farm from November 17 through to December 24.  I will also be making him available in my Etsy shop, as made to order.
Have a great weekend!

Ribbon Organizer

My friend showed me an awesome, easy, cheap way to organize your ribbon that I thought I would share. 
First, go to the dollar store and buy a plastic basket, with holes in the sides.  I got a two pack for $1.50.  Also pick up a package of wooden dowels, I got a package of about 10 for $1.

Simply thread the spools of ribbon onto the dowel and place the dowel through the side holes of the basket.

 Once that is done, thread the end of the ribbons through the front of the basket and voila!  Instant organization for $2.50!
