So I liked, but didn't love the little guys.....I'm not sure why really, they are quite cute. I kept thinking about them and I just wasn't sure they were finished...
I thought it would be good to make them a little bag to be carried in...something simple...maybe drawstring? But because its me I had to go one step further....
I thought of windows... round windows .... and if you have windows, obviously you need a door !
and if you have a door, and a letterbox and a number, then obviously you have a house.
and if you have a door, and a letterbox and a number, then obviously you have a house.
a portable house for your pig and your kitten and your monkey with special window pockets on the front and plenty of room inside for all the things that a pig and a kitten and monkey might need.Too much?
(*with that, she dusts of her hands and tells herself firmly that she is not allowed to start ANY new projects until she has made a man-sized dent in the pattern writing).

The 3 critters look as pleased as punch in their home - very sweet!
How wonderful Jodie. I really love that idea of the house for the 3 of them.
Must have one of those for Poppy's birthday! Must - yes please
If I only had your brain... I would be such a happy woman!
Oh Jodie... I so want a set just like this! I LOVE it!!!!!
Superb - not too much! Nic
That is beyond CUTE Jodie!! I think you have another best selling design on your hands.
Now theses are awesome!!!! well done!!
You've done it again Jode, that is just perfect, I love it to bits!!! I need this pattern NOW!!! No pressure. LOL ;-)
I love Ernst and Pebble, but I don't think I could do them justice, I just like admiring your gorgeous original creations.
Looking forward to seeing some new patterns in your Etsy shop soon.
Kelly :-)
Not too much at all - just perfectly georgous! They look just so sweet and that roof is great.
round windows! smiling animals! red stripy roof! play with me, is what its saying...
The house is perfect! The round windows with the lovely faces, they just made me smile!
I came across your blog when I bought notebook mag handmade edition. I browsed a bit, found the naughty redhead boys playing on a fence in your backyard and now I am addicted to your blog.
You are supremely talented and funny.'I have passed on the blog details to all my bestys.
Sooooo cute, Jodie. Brilliant idea.
I am totally in love with this little house! Totally inspired.
My diary says "pattern writing" for the next three days.
But then... I do have to watch So You Think You Can dance.
Wowser.
Jodie nails it again.
If your brain had an off switch... all the ideas would build up inside and then would have to leak out your ears..........
OMG did I just type that?
Oh I am so glad your brain doesn't have an off switch!! Perfection!
Well selfish me is very glad you don't have an off button . I have an exciting weekend planned with the pattern writing too , groan ...
that is so gorgeous, the monkey looks especially chuffed! x
Quick, quick, get those instructions written so we can see some more wonderful creations.
If you are lucky the fairy instruction writers will pay you a visit during the night and magically write them all up for you - or not. They never seem to come to my house!!

Not too much just perfect. please get working on the pattern writing because i want one. Please
My kids are banned from your house with your CUTEST animal house ever! I'm in the same boat too and have to get on with the writing ..
Great!! very very nice!!
ohhhh, that is too cute!
I love it!!!
That is an absolute hit!
What Kid wouldnt love that house and pets! Im in love. I always was a big kid!
lol. What, no 2nd story? no spa? no billiard room? You slacker! (Yes, I would have made mine a drawstring bag...but then my softies wouldn't look so darn happy as yours!)
I want a house just like that. The critters look so comfy in their new home and how cool that it is mobile - they can go anywhere just what three friends like to do. Thanks for sharing
Good GOD Jodie, could you possibly be any more talented, simply amazing, love it!! Oh, soooo clever. Love your work, love Posie
OMG Jodie you have done it again, something so incredibly cute, how gorgeous they are in their sweet house
gee your silly Jodiepoo... brains have off switches.. I am preserving my brain so I dont turn it on too much... it makes my head hurt if I use it too much!
Lissa
PS very cute bag, can you make an evil cat sized baggie??? airholes are optional.. the darn-hair-chucky-uppy-dinner-chucky-uppy-furball-bastard-beast has been at it again... if he wasn't so darn cute he'd be outta here...
PPS the bastard cats brain is in pristine virginal state, he NEVER uses it..
That is so cute Jod! Can I come over to play????
Love it!! Definitely a must for the patterns.
Let me know if you need a tester :)
Your brain is perfect without that off switch.
Look at the wonderful stuff it thinks up!!!
Love it.

too cute! i think you need a new blog name.....ric rac too cute or something like that! the cute never stops!
Corrie:0
OMG I absolutely love this, I have noone in mind at all for making this for but I think this is another one that I would love to have a go at making one day...(I must get around to ordering your elephants)
So very you! I love it. All lovely and detailed and perfect.. Nice one (again). Peta
You are an adorable nutbag xo
perfect.
but making is so much more fun than pattern writing!
Absolutely not too much - it's lovely and portable play for everyone!
Not too much at all! It's absolutely devine!!!!
get off the net and do not do any sewing and get those patterns written.........
love the house and residents........
Just fantastic . . . as usual!
You are so clever you scare me! Actually it reminds me of the 3 little pigs.... Oh O'
Your brain is working perfectly and the little house bag is JUST what they needed. Now I want to make myself a set, see what you've done? I was holding out for Ernst and Pebble and now you've made these guys irresistible. I love things with "parts", so a house/bag is perfect!
Do you ever add blush to their cheeks, Jodie? When I sewed dolls for a local shop (dolls- like Santas, bunnies, garden ladies, witches, scarecrows, etc, not scary Chucky dolls that look real or anything) they never thrilled me until I blushed their cheeks. It just adds life to them.
Regardless, your babies and their new house are wonderful! Keep that brain just as it is, OK? Promise?
Thanks, my 5 and 7 year old girls now want one of these--is the pattern writing including this project??:)
Now that is really cute and completely brilliant!! Good luck with the pattern writing - I shall be slogging away with mine too!
You are the master of cute, clever, creative! I want to come and play!
As usual, they already said it. You need a clone. She could write the patterns while you come up with more adorable ideas.
your work is just awesome, i love it
Jody they are adorable!!! Don't change a thing with your brain. Wish I had small grandchildren ... well, maybe not - these are too cute for kids. LOL
~Yvette~
Oh my gosh - those are A-D-0-R-A-B-L-E!!!!
Extreme cuteness.....and I NEED to complete my collection of all of your patterns....Little nieces have birthdays.....How fast can you write the Patterns...No pressure really, I promise..!
Susan
I don't think it's too much, and it makes three softies very unique! Turns "oh, that's so cute" into a "I've gotta have that pattern!"
Seems perfectly logical to me :)
How's the not starting any new projects going?
xxx
You are truly demented.
(Said in an admiring tone.)
I don't know where you find the time and the ideas!
absolutely PERFECT!!! to the tee!
You have done it again, I thought they were cute before, but now they are absolutely adorable. Well done, all the best in the writing of it, You will be fine i am sure, they will sell like hotcakes!
Oh my gosh, that is SO cute. Love it.
Definitely, not too much! It's just perfect and what little girl wouldn't die to have one made for them. I can certainly relate to the pattern making thing. Downright painful, it's so much more fun to create it than to make a pattern for it!!
fabulous Jodie!!
Is it to much...could it ever be to much!!! Soooo.... who's going to be living next door? xx
Love love love it!!!!!
I wish they lived next door to me...
So cute Jodie!
Priceless!!
LOVE.
that is all!
Definitely not too much -- too, too cute!!!
That is soooooo cute!! I love it!!
I think this might be my favorite of all your designs Jodi! It is just gorgeous! I want to make it so that I can play with it (and not give it to any little cousin or other little one)!
Coo, fab! These guys are great... methinks it is the thought of pattern writing that makes you not like them quite so much as otherwise. But they are good.
A glass of wine, the radio on... and the pattern writing will go a little easier, you'll see... with time off for very nearly good behaviour!!
No-one but you would (or could) think of a project like this! Absolutely gorgeous. PS: The word verification is 'copin'; obviously you are!
Just perfect x
So cute!
Holy crap you have a lot of commenters. I just developed a callous scrolling to the comment window.
Anyway, on seeing your little animals in a house I at first thought, OH MY GOD, she's made the three little pigs with houses of straw, sticks and bricks. But you hadn't at all. But hopefully I've now planted another seed. Mwahahahahaha
Are you coming to the stitches and craft show in Sydney again this year? I'm a stiches and craft virgin and can think of no better reason to pop that particular cherry that purely and solely to meet you.
Oh Jodie I love this bag!!! What an awesome idea, looking forward to the pattern..
Hugs
Jodie :)
just darling.
you are incredible.
wow.
can't wait for these patterns to be available.
(btw...i'm the one that emailed you about Parsley the elephant...she came out perfectly...thank you!)
My daughter would go bonkers if she saw this!
Well, you have done it again. Totally out done yourself (and the rest of us).
I do have one question...Do you EVER sleep???
Rebecca.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute! I love them peeking out from their round windows.
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! fan-bloody-tastic!!!!
So am I correct in assuming one of the groaning patterns you will be writing up is for the pig/kitty/monkey/house and it will be for sale!!!!!!! They are wonderfully cute and we lesser mortals need to be able to purchase said pattern. Keep up the good work!!!
Love the critters and love the house. Perfect Jodie, well worth all the work!
Hi
My name is Kelly, and I'm Brazilian. My English is not good, sorry.
Just wanted to say it is the first time I'm visiting your blog.
Your work is amazing.
All very nice and kind.
Congratulations!
Ahhh... Jodie, Jodie, Jodie!!! Pwease, pwease pwease... can you put this project on your pattern-writing list?!!! I love it!!!!!!! WAY too cute!!!! I've just been catching up with your posts and you've had me in hysterics (as always!!!) Just love the spam post containing the rude word!!! LOL... you're awesome!
ps. When I'm rich, I'll join you in the 24/7 pjama-wearing extravaganza! I've decided when I get to be a really old white-haired lady I am going to be eccentric... wear only pink and frills... flowers in my hair and all that. By then my children should be old enough not to be totally embarassed! LOL...
Ok... how's your pattern writing going? Do bloggers keep leaving you silly LONG messages? Tut! hehehe... :-)

Jodie, that striped roof! You are genius! I LOVE round things, and round windows (like submarine portholes) with little faces peeping out are just about killing me. And that piggie's solemn face! Argh!! All wonderful. Thank you, thank you for making such inspired, one-of-a-kind things!
