"Dad" by Zahra and Von

Dear Zahra and Von, from British Columbia created this drawing of their father for father's day. Zahra drew the body and her brother Von drew the head! Their mom wanted to make a special keepsake for their father from their very special drawing and I think it turned out perfectly! Their father just loves his children's artwork. He's even thinking of getting a tattoo of some of their work!




A Family That Sticks Together!

A little girl from British Columbia drew this portrait of her family! Although all of her family have black hair, she got creative and used all different kinds of colours to show their different personalities. Her Dad wanted to have this portrait recreated so he can hang it on his wall in 3D!




























So I stretched fabric over a wooden artist's frame and attached velcro and then created each softie so that it will attach to the frame, and the 3 sisters can move the dolls around into different positions because there's lots of extra velcro!

Molly's Creation!

Molly, from Norway, created this drawing of a blue man. I love the detail she added in this character's face and in the snowflake. Molly is on vacation in the USA this summer and this softie will be shipping out to her in MA tomorrow!






Gosha's Little Monster!

Here's something a little different! Gosha's little boy, Jacob, turned 2 this past spring and she wanted a softie created to remind her that Jacob will always be her "little monster!" This little monster softie is the perfect size for cuddling! 


Wishing it wasn't raining

Monster Teeth!  Yuck!

2 Cats and a Quilt!


Finn, from Toronto, has a birthday coming up this August and his mom wanted to give him something very special. Finn took a lot of time to draw his 2 pet cats (who he loves VERY VERY much) and the quilt that Ollie (the bigger and lazier one) and Lollo (the smaller daintier kitty) and he wanted them made with the softest most cuddly fabrics - just like his cats! Happy Birthday Finn!

Sophia's Beautiful Ink Lady

One of the most elegant and beautiful drawings I have yet to come across! Sophia, who is now 5.5 years old and from Montreal, QC drew this beautiful picture of a woman. Sophia only ever draws using blue ink on white paper. It's her signature! This drawing brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it. Sophia is so talented!

Tinsel Butt from the '80's!

Caitlin's Sister-in-Law, Victoria, found this drawing that Caitlin created when she was a child in the 80s! The drawing is of "Tinsel Butt." Tinsel Butt is a cat who ate some Christmas Tinsel and... well... eventually it came out the other end! 
Victoria will be sending Tinsel Butt overseas to keep her sister-in-law company while she travels through Europe this year.






Teyla's Dad WITH Hair

Teyla, from MB, drew this picture of her Dad. One of the reasons that Teyla's mom knows her daughter has such a great sense of humour is because, in real life, her Dad doesn't have even a single strand of hair! You'd never know from the picture! What an awesome drawing Teyla!





Sarah and the Hot Air Balloon

Kennadie, who is 5 years old, from British Columbia drew this very creative picture which she called "Sarah and the Hot Air Balloon." I love all of the colours Kennadie picked for the balloon! And what a great facial expression on her character, Sarah.

I've never been up in a hot air balloon but I could tell when I let Sarah take her's for a test drive she really loved the view!






An 80's Christmas Pirate! Har Ho Har!

Victoria, from Gatineau QC, sent me this picture which was drawn by her husband when he was a kid! It's a Christmas Pirate! Aaaaarrrrr!

Victoria also submitted the drawing of Tinsel Butt that I posted the finished softie of a couple of weeks ago! You can tell that Victoria's husband and his sister shared their colouring markers!
Victoria will be giving this softie to her husband for his upcoming birthday! We hope he loves it just as much as his sister loved her Tinsel Butt Cat!
