A New Ladybug

I have another brand new piece to show today.  I've made Ladybugs before, but she is my newest one.  I like the way she has a 'coat' of red.  The first ladybug I made only had red wings on the back and you couldn't see them as well.  I know Ladybugs aren't red on their bellies, but for this I think it works.

 

She is carrying a little clay basket filled with daisies (because as we all know, daisies are my favorite flower!).  She has a fluffy crepe paper collar and a pretty red satin bow on her head.  I think she is adorable, but then, I'm a bit biased! LOL!

 

This darling ladybug will be available this afternoon over at Pfatt Marketplace, along with two other whimsical critters.  I hope you will go have a look!  (Pfatt Marketplacee will update around 1:00 Central time, so if you go and there are still bunnies on my page, please try again later today.)

 

Now that my spring shows are over, I'm taking a break from clay work to tackle a serious spring cleaning of the house.  Boy does it need it!  I actually enjoy cleaning, when I'm in the right mood and don't have other projects on my mind!  I know, sick, isn't it?

 

Have a great day!

Friday Favorite #6--Su Ami

I was browsing through my activity feed just the other day and saw something that knocked my socks off, so to speak. (Being the middle of summer and nearly 100 degrees, I actually was NOT wearing socks!).  I found these ADORABLE little crocheted sheep, and I could not believe how TINY they are!  I had to investigate this shop more fully.

Two Funny Sheep

Now, unless that is the finger of a giant, those are some teensy tiny sheep!  I've been known to do some very small things in clay before, but OMG!  I'm also impressed because I can't crochet. (My grandmother tried and tried to teach me, but it just never stuck.)

Su Ami is a group of 5 family members from Vietnam.  That's another thing I love about etsy.  You can find wonderful handmade treasures from all over the world. 

I spent several minutes browsing through this cute little shop and have narrowed my favorites down to these, but there are so many cute little tiny things in this shop you really should go check it out for yourself.

Tiny Miniature Monkey with Skirt

Red Ladybug

Tiniest Sock Monkey

I think the work of Su Ami is very impressive.  I especially love the sock monkey!  Have you ever seen one so tiny?  Not me. 

I hope you'll take a minute to go check out this adorable shop!

Have a great weekend!
