I have been wanting to make a simple softie for ages. You guys have seen some of my misguided attempts.
I wanted something without too many bits and pieces that would be quickish to complete. I find simplicity quite hard at times - I always always always want to add more.
This week while I was at work I drew up a picture of these guys and had to hang out till today to get a chance to get into the sewing room.
Can you imagine the fun I can have with these?
How about "I'm a softie at heart". Maybe "show us yer stash".
"I think therefor I blog"
Of course being a bit of a potty mouth , I have already whipped one up that will be a gag gift for a friend. (Didn't pass censorship ). How about some cheesy pick-up lines?.......
"Do you come here often"
Or what about "Your'e Dumped" painful and to the point yes, but delivered by a softie has to be better than a text message or whatever dumpers use these days.
I have a feeling you guys are going to get sick of these long before I do.
Baggsie 'I blog therefore I am' when it goes onto your shop!!

ReplyDeleteLike, girl: I'm hot. Boy: No, I'm hot.
Girl: I just got my braces off.
Boy: Hubba hubba.
Girl: You're a fireman?
Boy: Tonight I am, baby.
(Oy, vay)
I could go on but I'll spare you.
Anyway...

I love these little dudes. I think your ideas and getting better and better. I'd like to have one of these on my desk at work. I would have it facing me, and I'd sneak a peek in his mouth when i was fed up - it would cheer me up instantly, especially if it was a rude message :o)

Into the shop please!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the zipper lips, what a great idea, and the tie so cute. I though "it is not you-you its meme." might be an appropriate one.
ReplyDeleteomg jodie those are soooo cute.
ReplyDeleteOh Jodie, these are really ingenious! I love the simplicity of the "look" and then unfolds another layer of fun!!! Great idea! Kathryn.
ReplyDeleteWhat could I possibly add. My mind is just popping with the myriad messages beneath the zipper lips.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful!!!
You truly are a mad woman! But would we want you any other way? I think not! They are great! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh jodie...my mind is ticking off all the phrases i want them to say...what a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Jodie - these are GENIUS!!!!! What a sensational concept. Really really love it :)
ReplyDeleteJodie - you are truely a brilliant craftswoman and artist!! I love all your ideas, and to stick true to your "core business" ie selvedge and words makes it turely unique to you - all power to you! I've been waiting to see this idea be born. Well done!

ReplyDeleteVery clever idea!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! And I love your teapot softie! I am going to have to try that soon. Thanks for the comment on my blog too. I don't get nearly as many as you. Your blog is great! Lots of great ideas. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThese guys are wonderful. Thanks so much for stopping by to comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteJust visited your blog for the first time. Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteYour ideas and designs are brilliant!
It was fun visiting!
HA!!! Those are awesome! I'm in love...
ReplyDeleteYou always come up with such clever and funny ideas! They are just so fantastic!Love them!
ReplyDeleteThose two are great! And I didn't even notice the zippers in the first picture... imagine my surprise! My kids would love them. I can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love their mouths! Their eyes also. I also quite like this blog and am very happy I've found a new treat. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! such a fun idea :)
ReplyDeleteI am literally rolling around on the floor laughing my ass off! These are the funniest, coolest, wittiest things I have seen like EVER!!!! Love them
ReplyDeletejust a thought, is the writing printed on fabric or is it removable paper? That would be awesome if it were removable and you could put your own message in there. Like a mood bear, I need one for my bed that says "not tonight hunni" or "wanna play?"
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. What a great idea. Will love to see lots more (including the rude ones!)
ReplyDeleteJodi you never cease to amaze me. I would love these to send to friends instead of greeting cards. How cute - they would always have their softie wishing them a hapy birthday or a nice day.
ReplyDeleteNot boring! Cute as a button. and a great Idea!
ReplyDeleteYou are just too clever...they could have so many uses the mind boggles.
ReplyDeleteThey are so georgeous, congratulations on your achievement!
