Hugzz

I have been seeing these cute little doll things all over the web and it gave me an idea. Somewhere along the line I picked up hundreds of 2" buttons , the kind you get at political rallies , with the pins on the back?
Well I saved them knowing that I would use them for something someday. You know how that goes..lol
Well today was the day, let me introduce Hugzz
This one is Cindy Lou Hugzz..the name just came when I was making her pigtails.
Her head is the 2" button pin, and she is pinned to a shirt in this picture, I can see them on pocket books, jackets, totes, backpacks, any where you can pin something. All the ones I have seen on the web appear to be made to hang, so thought I would be different :-)
Total size is 4" (not counting the pigtails or beads) x 2"
As you can see by her heart, she is meant to bring love and hugzz to anyone who needs it, and Cindy Lou is already earmarked for a friend. Every Hugzz will have a heart, either painted, embroidered or a button like Cindy Lou has.
Oh...almost forgot to put her picture on..LOL

She was a lot of fun to make and best of all I can make them all by hand while watching tv, tomorrow I plan on making one to send my Mom and another friend or 2 :-D

"Brothers"

Here it is all done. Have been working on it since I got up this morning, with occasional breaks for bathroom, get Josh food, etc. Having lots of time to do what you love is a wonderful thing! Next up (already drawn and waiting) one of my brother Steve.



Working on this since last night, yep, was up until 3Am, finally quit cause I could barely see anymore..lol
These are my 2 boys, I think Tony (the blonde) was about 1 1/2 here and Josh was 7. I have always loved this photo of the 2 of them. Probably because it was taken way back when they actually showed how much they loved each other!
