late entries and the new year

Its a brand new year and the holidays are finally over. (sigh)

Here are some highlights from the last days of 2010.

My cousin Este and Nicholas with Sumi on Christmas.

My mom with a custom pillow I made with the likenesses of my brothers and I. Notice the smile of happiness which comes with every WTS design ;)

Tomte Craft has a new location at 41st and Tennyson. Before the holidays they had a potluck gift swap with other great crafters. We swapped some glasses from Vital Industries and a handbag from Tutela. It was a great turn out with good food and friendly faces. Tomte Craft has yet to settle in its new home but everything should be tip-top at the beginning of February.

So that's more or less how WTS Creatures did Christmas in 2010. We were truly fortunate to have such great family and friends to share the spirit and cheer of the season with.

As for 2011, we've resolved to bring the world all sorts of new and exciting WTS creatures as well as keep on creating everyone's favorite creatures from 2010. There will be more craft fairs, more creatures and more fun in 2011 ... Stay posted and share in the fun and excitement that is WTS Creatures.

Project Hello and George Raccoony

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you the one and only George Raccoony, "The one who rubs, scrubs and scratches with its hands" the new WTS creatures mascot. We enjoy watching him dig for worms and scurry about in the backyard ... although we haven't seen him around lately. I think he's off to his summer home in France.
In other news, we here at WTS creatures are, as always, feverishly working round the clock to create the best creatures in all the land. Here's some insight into our process.

We trace and cut out patterns for our fanciful creatures. Ricardo, seen above, is working on "The Strong Man"
Once we have a plethora of patterns traced and cut out of a variety of soft and fluffy fabrics its time to sew them up and get them stuffed.

That's Ricardo again risking his delicate phalanges getting right up next to the perilously sharp needle of the sewing machine and stitching away.

So Sharp .... And Deadly!!

Another WTS creature almost complete. "The strong man" now awaits a bit of fluff and some closure.

Next Saturday, May 8th 2010, Project Hello, WTS creatures is representing!! And if I don't say so myself, it's just in time for Mother's Day. What mom wouldn't want a WTS creature for her very own? Exactly! Hope to see you all there.
