this group shot shows off the last ditto plush for my shop update tentatively happening this saturday, october 12th at 1pm EST.. slice and bake turkey! i wanted to have a couple fall based designs besides the halloween ones because i'm unlikely to do a fall shop update between now and the winter one.
my shop update is tentatively on saturday because florida will be hit by a major hurricane wednesday/thursday. if my home has severe impacts i will likely have to reschedule.

Today I finished the first completed example of the scarecrow crow pattern for October! I have some minor edits to make to the overalls, and I need to finish the closures on the clothes but nothing else requires extensive prototyping! At the moment I only plan on making one more for the instructions photos.
If you use safety eyes he won't require any embroidery! I did the applique on the clothes manually.
I'll be taking bettter photos and finishing up the candy corn raccoon instruction...
Hey all, happy Friday! Here is the first look at a WIP prototype for the scarecrow crow plush pattern for October!
He will have removable clothes with lots of patchwork for those adorable fall prints I can never find a use for! I made his hat today, and I'll be making more clothes for him next week and making some minor pattern edits!
Have a great weekend!
Here's the little guy I made for the instructions! The body is entirely shannon minky and the tail is rabbit minky. I'll be working on the instructions throughout the rest of the month!
I also started work on October's scarecrow crow today! I hope to share a first look soon! 🐦👀
A new addition to the purple candy corn family! This is the 3rd plush I've made with this colorway because I just love it so much. It uses mostly the "normal" color version of the raccoon pattern (with the exception of the inner ears), which does not have the candy corn color blocking on the body.
His hands were made with my at-home sublimation setup!
Hey all, hope you had a great weekend!
I redid the head on the plain colored raccoon I made before my vacation so I could have an example of what the candy corn raccoon pattern looks like in mochi minky (specifically, pure plush fleece from joanns) and non-candy colors! This pattern is soft and snuggly, and meant to be stuffed loosely so he can sit or stand!
I'll be making a couple more candy corn colored ones before moving onto the scarecrow crow pattern for October!
and the winner is...
scarecrow crow!
thank you for voting!

here's the finished fluffer... candy corn raccoon!
he was chosen as september's pattern reward for the last halloween themed pattern of the year 🍭 he's a fluffy, soft plush that can sit or stand!
little did i know when thinking about this plush concept that shannon does NOT make any luxe cuddle seal in orange... i guess they don't like halloween as much as we do 😢 so i had to substitute big z fabric's arctic minky for the color which is much fluffier than shannon luxe and do...

Here's my first completed prototype of the raccoon pattern reward for September! I have some edits to make to the pattern, namely shrinking his big ol noggin but all part of the pattern making fun!
He's a big, floppy plush that is very cuddly and can sit or stand!
