OMGosh Time Goes By So Fast!

With everything that has happened in the past month, with graduations, school endings, birthdays.. I mean man o' man... it seemed like May was only yesterday and here we are getting nearer to the end of June!

One of the first sales I made on the Sea Turtle Comfort Cuddler was to a lovely lady named Judi from Florida!   She had completed her first Sea Turtle Cuddler on May 19th  - that lets you know just how "behind" I am!!  Judi was kind enough to send me photographs of him and I was granted permission by her, to share her work/photographs on my blog.

While I have made several, all generally looking like copies of one another .. an artist replicating their own work isn't really that big of a deal.  

Now when a client replicates that work from written instruction; that is when your heart sings and you feel like you've contributed something to the art.  
Judi really did a wonderful job on him and I just had to share!!

I am always tickled when my clients share photos of their work with me.  

Not only the creativity that they display in the little additions or personal flare they give to the project - but in being a part of an art form that is so vastly beautiful and that can be shared with others.

Thank you so much Judi for sharing your beautiful creation with me and allowing me to share it with my readers!

Here's What You Should Have Seen...

"Thankful Thursday Final Week"  and of course, "Happy Thanksgiving"

I do not know if I clicked, when I should have selected, or if something else went wrong - but I believe all happens for a reason.  Perhaps with all the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping, my post would have been over looked that day..
*shrugs*

But, now at least, my final Thankful Thursday honoree receives the spotlight all to herself!

I met Miek through Ravelry.com and she quickly became a huge inspiration to my work.  Her subtle quirkiness in her work, with bold, vibrant colors; allows her personality to shine brightly in all her creations.  Although she's quiet and doesn't flaunt her doodles, she was quick to point out to me what she does with them.  

Many, in fact probably most, children will never face such a horrifying disease as cancer.  But I can tell you, from experience, those children who do; are among the bravest kids I have ever met in my life. 

The Poekie Project was started after it's founder, Saskia, found out her own child had lymphoma and would need to endure Radiation and Chemotherapy treatments. (Which I can attest to, is NO picnic - even to someone who is old enough to understand fully what is going on!)

A year later, her son is well; but she's not forgotten how much love and support children going through similar treatments need to keep their spirits up.  Named after her "cat", The Poekie Project has brought smiles to the faces of many very ill children at the Ghent University Hospital and continues to seek crafter's support to brighten the days of children facing cancer.  

What a beautiful gift to give back to a hospital and so deserving of a mention!!

Thankful Thursday

Some might remember me asking for those of you working with or for charity to send me links to your shop(s) so that I could share your finished doodles with the extended FiberDoodles Family.
So for November, where here in the United States we celebrate "Thanksgiving"; I thought it was not only appropriate but preferential to share doodlers who donate their time and doodles to local charities.  

One of my most frequent clients is Meghan of Southern Sewing Mama.  This little southern gal and I hit it off straight away... and how could we not?  She's got a heart so big and warm, you just can't help but to enjoy working with her.

Okay, shhh.. cause I am not supposed to tell you about this - but I think she deserves every ounce of credit, so I'll whisper...
Did you know that for every item she makes and sells, she makes an identical item to donate?  Did I tell you she had a big heart or what??!  
Currently, I know she is working with shelters that benefit Battered Women and Children in the Baton Rouge, LA area.  So, please, checkout her Facebook Page or her Blog and allow her to help you as well as help out local charities.  

and although not a "doodler", I had to give a shout out to Chassity of 2 Little C's

Although I rarely have time anymore to check out fellow designer's blogs, when I came in on Sunday to update for the week ahead, I couldn't help but notice her Blog in my blog list and it's latest entry.  "Blankets for the Kitties".  Anyone who crochets, knits or makes for animals most definitely deserves a kind word from this blog!

If you have not yet submitted your shop, there is still time.  I'd like to only showcase 2 per week, but if we have more, we can certainly squeeze everyone in :)
Submit your shop address and a brief description of your charity for review to fiberdoodles@gmail.com  FDbyK4TT will be showcasing Doodlers each Thursday, throughout the month of November.

I Just HAD to Share..

There are few things more enjoyable to me, than seeing client's finished doodles!
Many times, they BLOW ME AWAY with their creativity.  
I always find it such a privileged to be able to look through the eyes of my clients and see how they see my doodles.

Here are the 2 most recent little lovelies!
Mitzy the Mouse was born August 2012.  She is truly an original!  With her adorable little pink bows to the gentle curls of her hair.  I instantly fell in love - I think the Miz would too!!

aww... look, I made her blush :)

and then, there was  Miek's version of Pulp, the Pumpkin - which reminds us of that old saying "less is more".

She says she wants to "fix" the eyes - 
how on Earth do you fix perfection?!!

Lovely job ladies.  Thank you so much for sharing your work!

Sharing Sunday

I have gotten so many wonderful photographs from my clients!  I just LOVE showing them off... it is just finding the time to do so - so today I am MAKING the time to do so!!

Late April, I received photos of this gorgeousness little kitty from Angela.  Although she was completely happy with the results of her finished project, I suspect her other 3 kitties were a little less than pleased with having to share the garden with Sneeze the Siamese!  Thank you Angela for not only sharing your sweet kitties with me, but for allowing me to share them with my readers!

Christiane created a sweet little Peeps as a Birthday Gift for a little girl on Election Day in France :)  How sweet and special!  Thank you for allowing me to share your sweet little Peeps with my readers.

My favorite photos have got to be kids with my doodles.  Joelien has been gracious enough to share these photos  (Since my blog is open to the public, I have blurred the photos for the safety of the child) - it just makes your heart MELT!!!  This is just so precious to see.  The giant smile with an armful of doodles and sleepy comfort that doodles can bring!!  Thank you so much Joelien for sharing your little one with me - this is truly the reason FiberDoodles exist!

... and who says boss' don't get any love?  Sara made this sweet little Bunny for her husband's Boss who had just had a baby girl at Easter Time.  So sweet!!


Thank you to all you ladies who've allowed me to share your beautiful creations with my followers.  If you would like to see your photo featured on the FiberDoodles by K4TT blog, simply purchase a pattern and send me a photo.  I love showing off my clients' work - and will always obtain permission before sharing your photo.

Holy Flippin' Smokes

I have had some quick 'testers' before, but Claudia set a record I think...

Flip isn't even done on MY end yet, but he's all tested and ready to be published ..  which I will most likely get around to doing tonight - 
those who are eagerly awaiting Flip... blame the people!

I have promised the people a 'Day Out'..
The weather has turned here - spring is in the air and because the people are still considered 'home schooled' (although they do go to school for a few hours) - MCAS means they do not get time at school today.. 
Since one is missing gym and the other absolutely hates not being able to go to school for a few hours everyday  ...
I am thinking a walk to the beach may be in order .. and definitely a 'yard clean up'...
perhaps I will find something in the soil which will inspire me for even more fiber goodies!

In the mean time.. 
My very good friend Erin has a tantalizing little friend for everyone who is feeling the Spring bug's bite...

"The legendary, slightly annoying guardian of the forest... the Lorax."

Friday Features ...

YOU!

I wanted to show off some of the lovely photos that I received this past week of wonderful doodles created by your hands.
(This is the BEST part of designing!!)

These lovely JellyBean and Peeps are so ready to share Easter with their some lucky someones...

Claudia had her Peeps and JellyBean made before they had even been on sale for an entire week!  THAT gets me so tickled!!  And I had just received a photo of Peeps from Karen when BOOM - there was JB ready to go as well!


And who couldn't help but just want to cuddle up with this adorable little pillow?!?  

I immediately fell in love with this little blue bundle!  The sweet little heart* embellishment makes this a truly unique and heartfelt gift!

And I love... Love... no... LOVE!!  these guys!

As a designer, I often play it safe.. ducks are yellow and bears are brown, etc .. etc.
These vibrant color combinations just scream individuality!   

Thank you to all you ladies for allowing me to feature your work here on fiberdoodles.blogspot.com    It is not only inspirational, but continues to remind me how blessed I am to know each of you.

Please continue to eMail me photos and I will continue to display the beautiful work here!
* heart embellishment not included in the Pillow Pals Puppy pattern

Poultry is Poultry?

Readers who've followed me long enough, know that I get some of the wildest excitement from seeing my doodles done by another's hand. 

Their interpretation of my vision.  The artistic flare that their eye sees when they view one of my doodles.  What their mind actually envisions when they view one of my completed designs.    Where they would take it, how they would do it differently.. make it 'their own'.

It's just very ... it is amazing to see where others take you on their journey of creativity.  I find myself often thinking  - OMG!  I didn't even see that!  How original!  Something as simple as a color change, or an extra embellishment here or there...  well it really can put a whole new spin on a design.

In April of this year, a brilliantly creative client of mine had purchased several patterns from both the KISS Series as well as the Sculptured line.   She was generous enough to share the photographs of her wonderful KISS Zebra and Lion; but it had been some time since I had heard from her. The last I heard, she said she was going to begin working on a bunny...

That was until the other day..

"Dear K4TT, a few months ago I purchased your Pilan the Poult pattern and I was so busy I never got to create it. I just wanted to share these few pictures with you. Your pattern was a great inspiration when a friend of mine needed a hen for a Christmas gift for her 2 year old niece. I just used your body part as head and vice versa (to have a smaller and more hen-like head) and created a comb. My friend loves it very very much and I can't wait till Christmas to hear about her niece's reaction. So thank you very much for you great work! You are my inspiration."

UPDATE: "My friend likes the chicken so much that she won't give it away and she will give it to her daughter instead. Just to keep it home."

Needless to say, I am so thrilled!  Thrilled!!!  I LOVE the chicken!!  I think it is so brilliant!!  So adorable and just the sweetest derivative works created from one of my designs!
Hmm.. I think I may actually want it to come to the States to live with me... :)

Thank you for sharing Zuzana - Your friend is truly blessed to have you in her life.  It is wonderful clients like you, Zuzana, which inspire me.  I want to see what you do with Maxie... hmm.. but since you've not purchased him, I think I will just have to send him to you.
