So, I did it again. I swear that I am not going to make a stuffed creature again, but the Theosofest (at Wheaton's Theosophical Society) was coming around the corner and my intention of making a dozen rag rugs was ruined by a number of causes including the mouse (mice?). So, I made some cuddly huggable hedgehoggies out of scraps, wool felt, and embroidery thread. I packaged them them up complete with tag and care instructions.
I also tried to resolve the problem of hanging artwork at a fair by making a cardboard tree that I wrapped around a tent post. It was sort of successful--not bad in a pinch. Anyway, I'm feeling weary of doing shows. In fact, I have promised myself repeatedly that I am going to avoid them. It is time to develop a more serious approach to selling. Words can not describe my disfavor of selling myself. I just want to create, but the reality is otherwise. What I need is a creative solution. I think I'll sleep on it.

I love your hedge-hoggies! They remind me of stuffed animals we had as kids. Weren't they called "pop-ums" or something? Anyway, yours are super cute.
