Elle The Elephant - NOT FOR SALE




This is the second elephant I've created. The first was Lenard the blue elephant. Elle is made from dark gray fleece. Since her angles were small and tight I had to hand sew from her head, down her trunk, into her mouth. Her good eye is made with layered vintage buttons.

My husband has decided that we will keep her. It may be awhile until I can make one that will be for sale.

Elle measures over 18" from the wall, over 13" tall, and over 16" wide.

If you are interested in seeing my plush that are for sale. Check out my Etsy Shop

Danger!


No animals or people were harmed. Promise ;)

My 8ft Alligator









As the world slept, well the normal people, I apparently didn't. This "little" guy is my newest creation. Why you may ask? Well why the heck not! Big Al is 8ft 4 1/4" of pure plush. Just like all my other LEFTZ he is made with fleece and stuffed with recycled plastic shopping bags. To give you an idea of how big 8ft is.. it took over 500 bags to stuff him.




He isn't for sale at the moment. I think he is too fun to get rid of ;)

It's Your Lucky Day Giveaway

Hey that rhymed! Prize worth $45

I am holding my first ever giveaway! You could win this:





Meet Lucky!
Lucky is the perfect pet. He doesn't eat a lot or drink a lot. Just keep him attached to your wall and you'll always know where he is!

Lucky is made out of fleece and filled with recycled plastic shopping bags. He stands a little over 12" from base neck to tip of ears and over 8 1/2" wide at neck. He stretches over 15" from the wall to nose.

Note: This is a picture of what your Rhino could look like. This specific Rhino has been sold, since all LEFTZ are handmade by me, your Rhino will look as close as possible. Please allow 1-2 days for the creation of your rhino.

All LEFTZ are rough stitched, which means the stitches you see are ragged and by hand. The stitches holding them together are done with the sewing machine to insure their innards stay put. Each monster has an unique look and shape. Their eyes are made from layered vintage buttons.

Also includes natural wood mount. Will come with pre attached hanger and attached to your new pal Lucky.

Not intened for children.
International friendly :) Ships anywhere!

Craft Show Plans



So I've been able to get a space at a very popular craft show in my area. I went 2 years ago and sold out of my gourmet dog treats. Last year I was unable to go because of my sisters wedding. I'm hoping this year will be another good one.

I've been dreaming up tons of items to bring with me and been chipping away at my list day by day. I will still try to create new LEFTZ everyday during this process.. and oh yeah.. I have xmas gifts to make. I'm tired already ;)

The birdie I found at Ross hiding in the back. Behind her is my eco friendly shopping bag.

Next are some cute little cups I found. Right now they are holding some of my cutest buttons. Which happen to match perfectly!

Camera Reborn




So while playing around with the pictures of chops, I decided that I couldn't break my camera anymore than it already was.. I toggled with a few things and it looks like it's come back to life! In all honesty I had hoped it was dead because I really want a new one hehe.

These LEFTZ were a custom order which I previously tried to post pictures of. These I hope are much better ;) So in short they have been sold but if you like them, feel free to send me a note.

Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow... (omg its 4:30am why am I not asleep?!) anyway.. maybe WHEN I wake up the camera fairy will have pity on me and leave something new and with lots of lenses ;)
