They've Made It...

Blimey! It's been a bit quiet here of late hasn't it?

We've been tinkering away on new designs and what not but havn't felt too confidant about showing them off. 

It's also been soo cold in our respective work rooms that any sewing we have been doing has been underneath a blanket...which doesn't make for blog worthy pictures!

Anyway...here are a few pictures from this week...nothing fancy, just something to ease us back into the blog...

This furry creature is my kind of part time dog...he's called Clyde and I look after him about 3 times a week.

(I meant to post about this before Christmas...like that was ever going to happen)
I drew the moustache on with a ceramic pen, I made two of them for mine and Arthurs Christmas day breakfast of Hot Chocolate and Croissants...now they mainly get used for soup.

I've had to move my succulents upstairs where it's a bit warmer...they look quite lovely on our bedroom window sill...I feel there is no other option but to buy more and have them in every room...right?

Lastly...believe it or not we've actually got the Grizzly Geoffs up for sale over in our etsy shop. 

The pictures are pretty poor but I just had to get something new up there...My studio's due a move soon (upstairs to warmer climes) and I'm hoping to have a designated space for us to take pictures...so the background is the same in all of our listings...these will do for now I guess.

See You Soon!

An Update...

 So as we suspected would happen, the Etsy and Folksy updates on the 29th are looking unlikely...we just have a bit too much to fit in...but don't fear there will be one soon!

I'll leave you with some pictures...nothing special just some bits and pieces from around the house (which is such a cold house i have resorted to taking hand sewing upstairs...because its warmer)

Some new Human Beans for M.A.D.E (the eagle eyed amongst you may notice that some of them have  the new tie addition)

New designs...involving more beards....watch this space

A newly acquired succulent for the bed side table (following the demise of a much loved one)

And a pretty glass bottle with some Wax Flowers in.


Right...I'm off to see if I can get some feeling back into my cold fingers!

Grizzly Geoffs

So we're only a little bit late introducing you guys to these but....lets face it...if we were on time it would be weird.

This, ladies & gentlemen, is a Grizzly Geoff.

They're super dooper new to the StuffedNonsense studio and came about thanks to a rather quiet shift at the day job.

They have a 'loose' back story which we're currently fine tuning but the base of is...

'This is a Grizzly Geoff. He lives behinds your bins and only comes out when it's late; when he thinks the coast is clear he rustles around the bins looking for tasty scraps. He know's that eating from bins isn't the healthiest or most socially acceptable of habits but nonetheless he continues to do so.'

That's right...he's in his pants...Y Front pants to be precise.

He sports a rather handsome beard... similar to that of his name sake 'Geoff from Byker Grove' (I've just spent the last 15 minutes trying to find a suitable link so you can all wonder in the delight of Geoff's beard but can't find a suitable one...so you will just have to take my word for it.)

He has a hand embroidered belly button and some hand embroidered chest hair.

And the beards come in a variety of shades...but for some reason my favourite is the one in the first 3 photos.


So...what do you think? we're quite taken with them, but then we both like beards.Fingers crossed they will be up on the etsy and folksy shop by the 21st...but there is a Tax Return to try and squeeze in around that time too so we won't make any promises.

Your comments are, as always, appreciated!

December Absence & Crafty Fox.

I'm sorry dear followers...

We were rather absent during the festive month of December weren't we? Things just got rather busy and we seemed to spend the majority of the time running around like headless chickens.

We're all rested up now though and are looking forward to a shiny and brand spanking new year.

There are a few new critters planned and few more goals set...as is common around this time of year.

We'll sign off for now, but don't fear, we hope to be back in the next few days...we should have some pictures of a 'Grizzly Geoff' to show you...facebook fans may have all ready seen a sneaky peak...

The pictures below are of our Crafty Fox times...it ended up being the only fair we went to...but boy! was it worth it.

Human Beans.

Long Johns....and a sneaky background shot of me and Arthur.

Ohh... what's that you say? 'You like that lovely plate with a Raccoon on it?'...I've got in on my wall! All I can say is Arthur is a very good boyfriend and he squirrelled it away for me as a Christmas present. I've wanted one of jimbobarts plates for ages and I'm super chuffed to finally have one!

Me again...demonstrating some customer service skills.

Our Christmas Decoration suitcase.

Christmas Crafty Fox
