Back after a long hiatus

It’s been awhile. . .



The HappyWhosits blog has been neglected, as has our Etsy shop. Eileen and Sue have been busy with work, a new job, an aging parent, a new home, getting a home ready to sell – well, you name it, it’s been happening in the past year.

Luckily, we are both in a creative mode right now, and new ideas are taking form. Sue has been having a ball with some wonderful new yarns in merino, alpaca and bamboo. She has started a new line of “collectibles”; critters geared to adults, and those who cherish them as collectables. Many of them are eco-friendly as well,  stuffed using filling made from bamboo and corn. Here are a few examples:

Isn't he adorable?  He went to a collector at the Big Crafty in Asheville, NC in July
This is Sunshine Marigold - a cute little hedgehog,  and below are a few more.  All those spines are individually added to each hedgie. 
Eileen has been churning out octopi, turtles and snails. The idea for a simple, egg-shaped birdie has been floating around in her head for awhile, and one was born last weekend. Several more are in the works. Look for more info in the next post.

Hi Sue and Eileen, The hedgehogs are adorable. I miss seeing you guys at the team meetings. Hope to see you at a craft show sometime.
