Conan the Barbarian

I’ve not become a fan of shady old movies, but I do feel a bit like a barbarian at the moment.

I sold all my Blankity Bunnykins the last couple of weeks. I’m very proud they all found a new home with loving owners, but I do find it sad that they need to leave my studio now, I loved looking at them.
So I needed to make some new Bunnykins (if only to look at something cheery again in my studio ;-)). And I wanted to give them new decorations on their woolly bellies. The idea for their decoration came to me, as always, in the morning, during that phase between sleeping and waking.

I could blame the moment for it (and maybe I just should) ‘cause the idea that boiled up came down to cutting apart the flowery embroideries I once took home from a thriftshop.
My daring, creative part thinks it’s a great idea to give something old-fashioned a new purpose. But my creative-I-know-how-much-work-it-is-to-make-an-embroidery-part thinks cutting up an embroidery is the most barbaric thing to do.

I did it anyway.

These (and other new little creatures) will be available in the shop after my big Pré Summer break in April. It’s time for me to think of new ideas, clear my head and take some rest after a year of packing, moving, rebuilding and some very unfortunate family matters. The last batch of international and European parcels will be shipped at March 26. After that, the shop will be closed for a while. I am already looking forward to opening it again at the beginning of May, on Planet Fur’s two year’s existance.

I can’t explain how much joy and happiness the shop, blog and all you kind people out there bring me. I think I would have gone crazy without it. I don’t want to get sensitive and all, but if I could, I would hug you. Big time!

But..it’s not the end of March, there’s still a lot of creative things for me to do. Must be off, until next time (or, in this case, post)!
