New friends to take to Cleveland!

It’s an infestation of maggots.

In a pile. Love it.

Xylophobe!

Intense fear of wooden objects.

What a sweet face! He may be a scaredy cat, but he’s still smiling!

And on the back . . .

Ah! So Scary.

A Grainy Haiku:

It’s easy to tell

How many years I’ve been here.

I don’t keep secrets!

And here’s another new keychain design – the Igloo.

A happy little ice hut – full of love!

An Icy Haiku:

Come into my hut -

We can eat some fish, straight from

A hole in the floor!

Finally! Yes, Mom. Keychains! Or cell phone charms. She’s been telling me to make these for years. I’ve decided to follow her advice for the upcoming show in Cleveland. These are just some preliminary prototypes I’ve whipped up before I begin the mass-production.

What do you think? Here we have a ravioli, a maggot, and a computer from the 80′s.

Unfortunately, no one seems to be able to tell what the computer is at first glance. To me, it’s obvious!

I absolutely love it. It reminds me of those old school computers we used in computer class in 5th grade – the ones with ms dos (is that even what it was called?) operating system. Number Munchers!

Here’s the sketch, it may look a bit more like the original.

Ok! That’s all for now.

This is the Ombrophobe. He may look a bit gloomy, but that is only because he has an intense fear of the rain. Every time it rains his horns get completely soaked, and his little tail drags in the mud. It makes him sad.

Perhaps you’re feeling a little down? A little blue? This little blue monster is there to commiserate and cuddle.

These embroidered storm clouds are threatening to downpour! I even embroidered some rain – the prelude to a vicious deluge.

A Tempestuous Haiku:

Caught in a cloudburst,

I wonder: are these rain drops-

Or my salty tears?
