ANd this is why your softies have that certain-something that makes them irresistable. I just hope you haven't used up all that gorgeous Tessuti wool on toiles....?
He's wonderful ( i don't understand why you are starting again on 25) But I know so well, doesn't matter what I say. I'm umming and ahhing over head 23 ( still) nutters we are xo
Wow! That really is awesome tenacity! I would have probably given up around head no. 5, so I'm very impressed that you've made so very many heads in order to get the pattern just right.
Hey guess what? I just finished creating a fox softie too! lol If you're not happy with the head, maybe it's the body that's wrong? Perhaps you could make a body to suit that head and end up with two softies?!? When I get my camera back from the shop, I'll be blogging my little foxie, he's not nearly as gorgeous as your fox head, but still my own design, so I love him! Good luck with yours, can't wait to see him finished! hah! my verification word is jeckyl! Good name for a fox!
Another who appreciates you sacrificing your sanity for the greater (crafty) good! Maybe the problem is that you need something stronger than a cuppa???
He's such a sweetie! It must be "post something cute" week... if you or anyone else can identify my mystery cute object I'd be much obliged... http://stylewilderness.blogspot.com/2010/06/bird-brained.html
I love your blog , and your work, I found you through Linda at Heartfireathome.blog. I love your elephants, they are so cute and you;re robots are lovely too.
Hi, I am Jodie Carleton. I started this blog in 2007 and somehow a tiny business grew from it. So now when I am not at my regular job I can be found happily making toys in my sewing room or swearing at the computer as I try and write the patterns. I am obsessed with foxes, pinnochio, Red Riding Hood and mechanical toys- actually pretty much any toys.
Say Hi if you have time, feel free to email me with any questions you have, I'm always happy to procrastinate by answering emails.
These tutorials are here for you to have a try. Please feel free to make any number of these items for your own use or gift-giving but please do not make items to sell using these instructions.

You're not using the Tessuti wool on all those heads I hope.....
He is cute!
25 heads, really - will they eventually get bodies too?
Have a great weekend Jodie.
he's so cute! I love him, and wish I could have him at my house!
What a face.... He is so cute!!!
It's the side tilt of the head- who can resist? I truly admire your persistence
You go girl!!!
It's the glint in his eye and the perky smile that does it.
Persistence is the key. What are you going to do with all those heads??
I love this face - I have two little dogs (foxies) that look at me just like that! Nic x
As mad as a cut snake. or sure. But then creative genius is generally accompanied by madness I understand...
Nearly there though??

What a lovely face - interesting and instantly appealing. This one should really sell well.
More strength to those talented fingers of yours.
He's fab! Does he really need another head?? Locket xxx
Adorable! How can you resist?
oh my God, he has his own personality!!! I bet he cuold speak...

25, really? That's some stickability! He is quite delightful.
I'm a little concerned as to what happens to all the disembodied heads?
And about how Milligan feels about all these foxes! Or is this fox a vegetarian?
We appreciate the sacrifice of your sanity for the sake of art.
Cheers,
AJ
I like him. Quirky cute
Thats quite a lot of heads! You are either mad or dedicated!
I think he is cute! Have a beer and see if that works better than the tea.
Ooooh he is so cute :)
It's a conspiracy, he's hypnotising you to make lots of him... and then they will take you over!!! Run! Run for the hills!!!!
Oh you foxy devil you! I personally think he looks super foxy. The need for number 25 is??
Your persistence is commendable.
(does that sound like a report card comment?)
Hee hee - your craft room must look like some sort of grim softie murder scene!
I totally admire your stickwithitness....I'd have had a tantrum and left the room in tears at head no.2!!
I rather like no.24 and feel he's darn near perfect :o)

I really worry about you sometimes, Jodie! You really do want to be known as the foxy lady, don't you!
heeee heeeeee heeeeee - foxy lady hee hee - looking forward to cake!
CAKE? Man! Is it that time of year already? I would have saved my phone call if I had realised ;-)
Trash, is it ever NOT time for cake???

I see what you mean! He's melting my heart too.
:)you make me smile
I'm loving no.24 too!
P.S Booked and waiting for our 'homework' to arrive..........just little excited!
One thing your softies seem to have in common is their very "knowing" smile...as if they, too, are in on the joke. Such personalities!
Love it!
that smile really is quite something
Hi Jodie,
What a gorgeous face...no wonder you sign and give in :), but why 25?
Hugs, Sharon
This little guy is exactly why your amazing things are so amazing!!!
How can you resist a face like that! Well, you can't! Adorable!
He's a charmer that one. Could break a girl's heart I reckon.
OMG he's gorgeous!
25!!! you have such staying power. but when it comes out like that it is hard to resist I am sure
He has a certain ju nest ce qua???
Your seams and features placement are just impeccable. I'm thinking you're pretty good and tea and numbers too by now.
Adorable! Locket is so funny! If only he had some gray he'd have the same color hair as me. :>}
Perfectionist much? Hehe. That's why everything you do is so damn good! Are the others all on a stake? He is rather adorable Jod. x
He's such a sweetie! It must be "post something cute" week... if you or anyone else can identify my mystery cute object I'd be much obliged... http://stylewilderness.blogspot.com/2010/06/bird-brained.html
How precious! He looks just like the deer we had at Christmas time when I was a child! I love them! ♥
Oh Jodie, your tenacity will win in the end. Remember the teacups!
I love your blog , and your work, I found you through
Linda at Heartfireathome.blog. I love your elephants, they are so cute and you;re robots are lovely too.
I could not resist him...put the kettle on for us all lol
