Nekkid pets

Don't worry, the Terrific Trio aren't chilled, it was nice and warm the day this photo was taken so they had no trouble lounging on the sofa nekkid as the day I made them. :)

As I mentioned in my previous post, I don't much like stuffing. It's hard work and it takes up the most time in the whole rag pet making process. One thing that makes stuffing a bit more bearable is watching telly while doing it. Due to this I've gotten addicted to day-time TV and have thus discovered that Oprah and Dr. Phil are perfect companions to stuffing. I've also developed an addiction to audiobooks, because they allow me to combine two of my favourite things: sewing and reading. I'm currently listening my way through "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer and I'm liking it a lot so far, the reader is really good. I go through about a book per week (if it's a long book) and I'm eternally grateful for LibriVox, my main fix for my audiobook needs.

An other thing that makes stuffing easier is that I got some gorgeous organic cotton stuffing from NearSea Naturals a while back. It's really lovely and soft, yet there's a nice "firmness" to it, and I know this might sound silly, but it smells absolutely lovely too! And you don't need to use as much of it as you would ordinary, cheap-o polyfill, since the cotton has less air fluffing it up. The Terrific Trio are the first rag pets to have the new cotton stuffing inside of them.

Just dropped by to follow your "Pet Progress" ;o) I love them - you're SO good! I had some stuffies on Plush You last year. Fun experience, though I would have loved to participate in person as well...he he...
It's funny: I actually LIKE stuffing! Very meditative, I guess..

Thank you Kristina and Emily!
It's a lot of fun to document the "Pet Progress". :)

I'd love to go to Seattle and see the show in person, but flight prices are frightful right now. Luckily I have a lot of friends in the area, who can go take photos of the exhibition for me.
