...lucky and inspired...
I feel like the luckiest girl around. I totally splurged and had to dip into my renegade craft fair funds, but I not only bought one of tamar’s great birds I emailed her how much I loved the forest girl and she had one. So I have two now!!
Love, love, looove them. It didn’t really dawn on me that I could indeed get one, until Martha over at naïve kitting got one of the lovely penguins! I live in New York, but it took someone visiting to realize that they are indeed real! I met Tamar yesterday afternoon and she gave me Lily (named by one of her co-workers). She is really great and said she is excited because she has been getting tons of requests (from all of us internet folk)!!
They are really really beautiful. I am totally in love. Plus it is inspiring my new robots. I have one more in the works for the Schmancy event, originally her name way May (trying to make it for month of softies, to no avail), but she has become a very sassy Maude.
I am sort of in love with her. Maude has some little petals coming out of her head, and I have a leaf guy all drawn out (inspired by Lily and a beautiful bag I saw on the Subway on my way to work in the morning). I have tons of ideas to incorporate more earth into the robots. Sort of a nature meets machine, through felt. My brain is really excited about the whole thing!!
A little background on the robots themselves. I am working without a pattern and everything is hand sewn. No really, all by hand. It is a great way to keep my hands occupied when I watch smutty television, which is about whenever I can. I grew up as an only child latchkey kid, so I would turn on the TV as soon as I got home (of course I did my homework with the TV on I mean off?! –pah), so I am sort of addicted to it. But the hand sewing is great because it is silent!! (Perfect for not missing any of Seth’s sly comebacks or Lorelai and Rory super quick and informed banter.)
KC is here and she is not melting!! Little does she know what it was like the day before she came into town!
