Plush-a-holic

Hey...it's me Dawn from www.LookWhatICanDo.etsy.com. I am a self proclaimed Plush-a-holic soooo (meaning I love to make stuffed creatures and collect other handmade ones)I thought why not name my blog that. So I did. I will be sharing my thoughts, the works of other artists I think are amazing, tidbits about my family and my life and of course Plush creations (Love=Creatures) by myself and those that inspire me.

This one haunts me...

as does this one....







and this one...




this one too...
and this one...

oh this one hurts to look at I love it so...
Have never seen another one like it...
So....occasionally I go on the world wide web and just look. I just LOVE fabric so very, very much. These are all fabrics that I saw somewhere on the web. All vintage(with the one Marimekko exception, of course)...all gone now.
I can't afford it all ya know. Anywho...just thought I would share. I get very inspired by fabric and would love to cover just about everything in it. If I won the lottery I would design fabric for a living and fill my gorgeous home with it. It would be so fun and so Bomo. Vintage fabric is my all time fav especially the Scandinavian vintage fabrics. I have noticed that Australia is a hot bed for amazing vintage fabric as is London. Oh what fun I could have traveling the world in search of amazing vintage fabrics. I also LOVE wallpaper and am sooooo happy it's back. Hopefully someday soon my home will have a wallpapered wall....oh that would be wonderful. Thanks so much Erin for the posting about my Jack Rabbits. I totally appreciate it and am so glad you are happy with them. I too have some mail to share and now that my computer has had a complete overhaul and an upgrade or two it looks like I can do an actual blog posting tomorrow. The photos above are in a folder that I have....it's purpose is to inspire and that is why I don't have any credits....ooops. Guess I should have saved some credits as well. Anywho....I am about to embark on a whsl sewing spree....I currently have approx 60 or sew to whip up for my whsl orders.....oh...my....gawd...when I say that out loud it seems like sososo many.
Anywho....it keeps me busy....I have been a bit down and out this week and am hoping to turn it around. My gorgeous friend Andrea came over last night for an impromptu visit. It was wonderful. I was so extremely excited to see her.....I heart her so.
Okay...I must sew...xo
