Ulla Won!!

Ulla Won Best in Category at the University of Michigan Health System Employee Art Exhibit!
Yay Ulla!!
*
My day job is at the University of Michigan Medical School. We are linked to the University Hospital and share resources. It is a great honor to work for an institute that strives to better peoples lives through research and medicine.
This is the second year I have been in the Employee art exhibit and find it wonderful to see what the staff creates on their own time. We spend so much time with people at work and that environment that it may never occur to us that they are so creative when not in the office.
Congratulations to all the Artist for showing wonderful work!

What are U up to Today?

Warming up with tea and working on a ripple afghan.

This is a project that will be auctioned off for a Make a Wish fundraiser.

I really like how this blanket is turning out!

It is almost the size of a twin comforter, or will fit on the top of a full bed. I may have to make a smaller one for me after this project is done =)

Lots of OInks !

This little piggy is going to the market!
hee hee, such a cutie! He is made from Toddler socks, he is just a little piglet.

I'm starting to work on the socks I bought Wednesday night, lots of little piglets to head to the market =)

What are U up to Today?

I received requests for a few piggies today. With good sales going on at Kohl's and a 15% additional discount ... I think I got excited to find socks with cuffs =) Check out the cool Tony Hawke sock on the right!

As a member of The Toy Society I randomly leave handmade toys for people to find.

Yesterday I gave a plush piggy to a little girl outside the Hospital Cafeteria with her family, and today I left a Purple Patchwork Bird at the Cancer Center for someone to find.

Plushies are my way of spreading happiness and smiles.

Keep Smiling !!!

New doll series

My latest creation =)
This is Fergus, he is a funny little fellow. He really likes the Rold Gold Everything Bagel pretzels.
I am creating more dolls/toys with his quirkiness that will be available at my etsy store. I hope they don't all like the little pretzel bagels or we will have a problem around here, we shall have to see what gets created =)

I need to find a name for this series of doll, I was thinking Ragged Rag Doll, but they are not very Ragged or Rag like. Any Suggestions?

Pig Day is almost here !!!!!
