Yee Haw, Cowgirl!

 

We have several events in Texas this month, so designed this adorable cowgirl outfit for the 10" sock monkies we sell at competitions. The outfit is super easy to make, and as usual, we made sure that all of the supplies are easily obtainable. (We purchase everything from either Hobby Lobby or Michael's.) The patterns are also easily resized to fit other critters and dolls.

We're going to be updating our competition calendar soon as we had several ice skating competitions come up on the same dates. Unfortunately, we cannot be in two places at once! Hopefully, if we miss you at one competition, we'll see you at another!

Sock Monkey Outfit for Spring: Pretty Princess Tutu & Tiara

NEW this year is our  line of 10" sock monkies which come dressed in cute little skating outfits. The clothes are removable, so we thought we'd design more outfits for you to make! For spring we put together this adorable princess outfit complete with tutu and jeweled tiara. Both are easy to make and the patterns are easily adjustable to fit other stuffed animals and dolls.

Send us a picture of what you've made and we'll post it on our blog!

Up next - a hula skirt & lei for summer!

GOOD LUCK!

It's fun to give little somethings to all your friends at skating and these little fortune cookies are just the thing for spring competitions. They are also fun and easy to make - all you need is paper and tape! You can use our fortunes or write your own. Here's our fortune for you: Good Luck and Skate Great! See you soon,
Jenny

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's a little something to get you started - an ice skating paper doll sheet.
It's from a Scandinavian magazine published during the early-mid 1960s.

Introducing HAPPY SKATE!

Happy, Happy New Year!

Meet Happy Skate: the cutest, happiest, skate ever!

Those of you who know us from competitions these past 8 years (this month) will recognize Happy Skate from our blanket appliques. We've decided to expand the line and have LOTS of cute, fun, new Happy Skate products coming out this year. We're also going to TRY to have a new FREE Skate.Camp craft up every month as well. This month's craft is a super cute, easy to make, fleece pillow with a Happy Skate applique.

Have fun - we're looking forward to seeing you this year!
