In the studio lately....

 It's a toy making season here, in the studio. I started from the owls and now moving to the foxes and hedgehogs.... My stock building plan is going well so far. 

However, I did  make a small customer order that is now on it's way to US. Two linen napkins with Hello Kitty were requested to match a set of cups with the same pattern as the Liberty fabric.

 I really enjoyed making the heart applique and added hand-stitching around them to emphasize the shape. As I have the same set, I styled a picture for the lisiting and now I think I need napkins like these too! 

Today I am working on these two cuties with organic fabric. I like this orange, perfect for the foxes! I will be also making a burgundy red one later this week...

How is your start of the week? 

What's in the making at your place? 

My creative weekend

This weekend was such a busy one for Plushka with almost all Christmas orders ticked off the list. I am aiming on sending as many as I can before going on my little break next week. Every year I try to take a few weeks off before busy festive season starts to prevent the burnout in the middle of the busy months. It is really not a nice thing when you loose you sew-jo with 10 or so orders waiting....
Here are a few of the creations that were finished last night:

In between orders I cut out a few felt apples for the hair clips in bright Spring colours. Changing tasks is my little secret to a productive day!

Happy Monday! 

Monday, two elephants in the Post office...

My two custom made elephants are ready to get all wrapped up and jump in the box. Long road ahead but I am sure they will be greeted with cuddles and smiles so it will be worth it! 

My mustard baby owl thought it would be a good idea to take a picture of her with an elephant so you can see how small and cute she is! I think she just likes to model...

More orders are to be finished today but after I go for a walk to get some sun and vitamin D! 

Happy Monday! 

Monday, the posting day

Despite being a great day to look for the new inspirations that will give me a boost of creativity for the week, Monday is my big posting day as I spend weekend getting through the orders... 
These are a few of my finished creations that will be in the post today: 

Monday is also my Sunday (I will be taking a semi day off tomorrow) and Mr. Plushkin's day off  so happy day all-around.


Happy Monday!

Crochet blanket order, progress

When I get an order for a crochet blanket, our green couch becomes a crochet station:) That is the only time I stop complaining that it is too big for our living room and actually enjoy the space! It easy to spread my squares on it and move them around so I can get the colours right. 

I can see the progress and it makes me so eager to finish the whole blanket over the weekend! If only I could do that... There are many more squares to go but the colour pattern is there and it's the main thing! 

Happy Saturday!

The happy couple!

It wasn't very nice of me to make The Bride wait for over a week to see her Groom but I got so excited about making her "dress" and veil that I had to start with her:) 

However, they are together now 
.....and they lived happily ever after!

Happy Friday! 

P.S. Dear Facebook followers, I am locked out of my page (I can see it but cannot post) so i will be back with you as soon as it's fixed! x

Let me introduce you to the bride...

Special customer order - 

Bride and Groom Penguins for the wedding car.

"Dress": Japanese silk kimono fabric

Veil: snowy white, decorated with crochet flowers 

Groom: nervously waiting to see the bride while getting his tux readjusted (stay tuned for the pictures next week).

Hand-sewn with love for the beautiful weddings and romance

 by Plushka.

Happy Friday! 

Miss. Elodie

I've had a few customer orders last week and Miss. Elodie is one of them. She is going to France in December as a special gift for Christmas!

Now, I just need to teach her a few French words and Voila!

Bon voyage my little Elodie:)

Customer order - Owl named Victor

After making so many girly owls, I received an order for a baby boy owl. He's name is Victor Stefanov (named after his new owner Steve).

Although he was just finished a few minutes ago, he quickly familiarised himself with the helicopter and cannot wait to go flying with Steve this afternoon.

But, while he is waiting, he is helping me in the office:)

Happy flying little Victor!

Have a great Friday!
