New website!

Hey guys,

I've been working on the website and it's almost completely redesigned! I couldn't wait, so I went ahead and uploaded it all. Everything is for reals except for this blog! I'll be redesigning it to match as soon as I get the chance.

In the meantime, I'll probably be adding images to the new gallery. Sweet dealio, yo. :)

Pushin' through the spring shows!

As you guys know, I've been doing lots of craft shows this spring (for me at least). We're not done yet! I have one that's a week away, but so far, so good.

I'm sure you all have noticed that the online shop has been empty for some time. As you can imagine, it's pretty hard to keep it stocked up on top of all the shows and school. Finals week is quickly approaching and I can't promise my sanity for the next two weeks, haha.

Anywho, here's some photos from the past two craft shows I've been in!

The guy in the picture may or may not be the boyfriend. :P


And if you didn't notice, I'm now making keychains! :D
Here's a photo of some that haven't quite been finished (they're missing stuffing!).



More to come! I hope to see you all at the Bazaar Days!

I don't have much time to blog because I've been prepping for my show this Saturday. Here's a preview of what's to come!

If you live in DFW, BE THERE! :)

Prepping for Spring Shows!

Preparing for the upcoming shows!
I know I'm awful at keeping this guy updated, but school has devoured my life lately. Luckily I have a fairly homework free weekend and can get hardcore about sewing! Fun new animals to come.

In the meantime, check out the two shows I'll definitely be participating in this Spring. I just applied for a third, so let's see how that goes!

Secret Project Revealed!

Waldrup the Walrus
Hellooooooo, Walrus. Not bad for the first run, eh? I'm pretty pumped about the new pattern. I'm working on a few other new animals, including a more complex penguin and a hedgehog!

Fuzzy Muffins sewing time has been pretty sporadic lately because I recently started working at my new job, where I'll be spending my days designing away in front of a gorgeous, 23" iMac. Woot! However, I'm starting to get into the groove of the new schedule and will be sure to set aside a set day and time each week to create some new Fuzzies!

As I mentioned in my last post, I'll be participating in the Funky Finds Spring Fling on March 13th, and now it's starting to look like Fuzzy Muffins might be present at another craft show (Bazaar Days) on May 8th! That one isn't 100% for sure just yet, but I'll be sure to let you know.

In the meantime, here's a cute plushie for you to stare at:

Workin' On a Comeback

I've decided I'm awful at keeping up a blog. But here we go again... it's a new year and I need to work on my web presence!

Lately I've found myself extremely inspired to create some new animals and experiment with new sizes.. and perhaps some new goods. I don't want to give anything away just yet but. Uh. Walrus.

Yesterday my boyfriend, best friend, and I had a crazy Fuzzy Muffins photoshoot! Three photographers and a big ol' pile of Fuzzies. It was awesome. I'll be adding the animals to my shop throughout the week.

I'll be participating in the Funky Finds Spring Fling again this year, and I'm super pumped. I'm looking forward to bringing a bunch of entirely new plushies and goodies to the event. If you're in the DFW area, you should definitely try to make your way out on March 13th! There's going to be a ton of really talented crafters and artists.

Keep a lookout on the shop this week! My sewing machine is calling me, so I better run.

My apologies for blog updates being so sporadic! Life has been absolutely insane lately.

Classes have started back up for the semester, and as I'm sure you all know by now, that means design classes. Which means ridiculous amounts of schoolwork and much less sleep. I'm taking packaging design and advertising this semester, both of which I'm REALLY pumped about. I'm sure I'll share some of my work from them on my portfolio site.

In other news, I recently moved! That's right. No more 400 square foot apartment for me! I'm now in a massive two-story house with 4 roommates. I LOVE it.


My bedroom in the new house. Note: light wood floors! *Squee!*
I actually have a designated sewing station now, and not just a kitchen table that magically morphs into a sewing table when I need it to. This house is seriously spoiling me. I didn't realize how crammed I was in my apartment, but I can't imagine going back now... Especially after lugging all that stuff up and down stairs. I learned that I have way too much stuff. Period.

Fuzzy Muffins is going to be a part of the IndieFixx Galleria this month, and I'm super excited to see how it turns out! I've been prepping my shop description and whatnot before the launch tomorrow!

I still have a lot of plushies I want to add to the shop, but I haven't been able to photograph any because it's been raining for five days straight here in Denton. Seriously! I'm beginning to consider building an ark. Who's down for helping me out? We can load up all our friends, family, and plushies and sit around skimming through design books. It'll be glorious.

Anyway, just let me know when you want to get to building. I'll be over here sketching package designs for "change." :P
