I’ve wanted to make soft toys for a long time now. Months ago I bought a fabulous book called Softies. Definitely one of the cuter books in my collection. A while later I bought another book called Plush You. That put the need for toys in overdrive.
I’ve played around with a few designs that I thought I’d like, but I was never super super pleased with the results. Then I spent sometime with Photoshop and created a small cast of the worlds most awesomest fruit pack. I call them Hot Fruit in homage to the notoriously funny show Strangers with Candy (please do not allow small children or your grandmother to watch this program).
Here’s your first chance to meet my newest friends….
I’ll be posting them on my Etsy soon enough. They’re also being sold at Made 4 You in Kingston, Ontario.
I hope you like them as much as I do!
