Pastry Puppets!

So I know some of you asked to see the pastry puppets that were commissioned by a lovely bakery owner... here they are!

Business Eclair, Coconut Cake Monster, Sassy Lemon Meringue Pie

She also bought Chip the Muffin :) Now if you will excuse me I need to make some monsters for another commission - my nephew Hunter requested them to have "one eye and sharp teeth". He also wants a cow with one eye. I think. Sometimes it's hard to understand what a 3 year old is trying to tell you over the phone :)

Nope, no pictures yet. I will check back later b/c I am SO excited to see them! Your conversation with your nephew reminded me of one I had with my grandmother, oh, maybe 37 years ago or so. She was handy with a sewing machine and had a box full of colorful material, buttons, feathers and all sorts of things. One day while visiting she said she would make us hand puppets - whatever we wanted (my 2 sisters and I). After much thought, I decided I wanted a purple cow. I remember her hesitation and furrowed brow trying to figure out how to make a purple cow. But she did it! To this day I remember her effort, and even the puppet itself. So I am sure that Hunter will take great pleasure and have long lasting memories of his one eye sharp toothed puppet!

I love these! I bought some finger puppets (animals) when I was in NYC and I thought of you :-)

I like those cross-stitch sayings you mentioned on my blog. Do you know where I could get one? Not sure if I could order online etc.

And good luck with your one-eyed cow and monsters! Too cute.

Sandra - I designed the x stitch things myself, but you would love Subversive Crossstitch! lots of innapropriate stitchery there ;)

Thanks Lucky Jones! I'll check it out. Maybe I'll take up cross stitching this winter and make my own! I've got a few sayings I wouldn't mind using (haha)
