Buneeps Coming Soon!

Recently when I talked to my grandma she told me about a strange dream she had, her dream inspired a new creation.In her dream she was visiting my mom and sister to see their new rabbit( in real life I just got a rabbit) and when my mom brought it out it was a mix between a real bunny and a peep. The half rabbit and peep had really short teeth and was soft but squishy like a marsh mellow, the color was a reddish pink. when my sister wanted to put the rabbit back in the cage my grandma couldn't find it. They looked around but it had disappeared. My grandma suddenly had a thought "Oh no I just ate their peep bunny!" She said at that point she woke up half laughing but relieved the dream wasn't real. Thanks to my grandmas odd dream I thought it would be  cute to make a half bunny half peep. So coming soon to my Madd Felter etsy shop are Buneeps!
This buneep is hand sewn with a very soft blue fabric and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. The eyes are white felt that has been painted with acrylic paint. Both the paws and teeth are made with felt, it also has a puffy yarn tail.

Garage Sale Update


Friday was my parents garage sale and I wanted to let you know how it went. I brought along most of my etsy items to sell and it didn't go very well. I was happy with my table and how I had it set up, but I only sold one plush doll and my push pin bottle caps to my grandparents.lol Garage sales are not the best spot to sell your handmade items, people expect low prices its also very hard to get your target audience to your sale. I am glad I tried but I wouldn't do it again.

Garage Sale Craft Table

I am very excited for tomorrow  because I am going to be setting up a craft table at my parents garage sale. I will be selling my handmade needle felted dolls, plush dolls, polymer clay monsters and some bottle cap push pins. I realize that I might not sell a lot because some of my prices are above the garage sale standards, that's fine if I can just get my shop out there for people to see.The side  picture is of my plush bunnies and polymer clay monsters. I glued popsicle sticks to a small box to make a half fence and then used a soft green fabric for grass. I will post on Monday how everything went, hopefully it won't rain.lol
