Ninjas are coming soon... after they come out of hiding

Where did the Ninjas go?
As I have been completing Ninjas I have put them down next to the flat Construction Workers, but they keep disappearing. I cannot share them until they reveal themselves.
*
*
I caught something out of the corner of my eye, on the bookshelf... I think it was a Ninja hiding among the books. They move quickly and hide is shadows so I am not sure.
*

*

So, I have convinced the Ninjas to come out and show themselves with the promise that I will not reveal their names. They will go by numbers to protect their identities.

*

*
They are currently posing for pictures and will arrive on the Oma's Patch etsy shop soon.
Numbers 1-6 will be posted, with felt patch around the eyes varying for different skin tones.

Working on Whabblers

Timber !!!! Watch out for that tree. This lumberjack might not be able to help you out with your yard work, but he can provide lots of playtime.
*

*
These are part of the new line of toys at Oma's Patch called Whabblers, specially designed for boys of all ages.
Each lumberjack is made with from a repurposed flannel shirt. The face panel is hand sewn and safety eyes used to be child friendly. The Axe is sewn on by hand from felt. Poly pellets are used to weigh the bottom down and then polyfill for the remaining stuffing. The bottom closure is covered with a circular felt piece hand sewn into place while the top closure is covered with a hat made from the toe section of a new tube sock.
Size is approximately 6 1/2 inches tall and 3 3/4 inches wide
Made in smoke-free, pet-free home.
*
I'm doing some research to add a King Whabbler, I'm got the crown figured out, and now I think his accessory will be a felt septer.
Mina helped me find one online to use as a template for the shape.

I think Mina is going to be a great helper.

Tweet Tweet says the Velveteen Birds

here they come!
*
*
I have loved birds since I was little. I use to sit out on the deck at my Oma & Opa's and learn to tweet like the birds, in hopes to talk to them. I see beauty in so many of the birds like Cardinals, Humming Birds, and the little black and yellow ones. I even loved Tweety Bird and would jump from the hood of my dad's truck trying to fly.
*
I created this bird to share happiness and the freedom to let your mind soar.
*
The patchwork design makes each bird unique. They see the world from an interesting point of view through their wonky eyes. With a button joint, the wings can be moved to express their mood.
Size: 6 inches from beak to tail, wings are 3 inches long, and height is about 4 inches
Created in a pet-free, smoke-free homeCare instruction: spot cleaning recommended.
