WELCOME TO PECHANGA'S CLOSET

WELCOME TO MY BLOGGER PAGE FOR PECHANGA'S CLOSET

I WANTED TO SHARE BY FUN FLUFF FILLED FRIENDS I CALL CRAFTIES WITH EVERYONE SO THEY CAN ENJOY THEM AS MUCH AS I DO. THIS WILL BE A YEAR OF LEARNING AND EXPERIMENTING WITH ME AS I GET MY BUSINESS OFF THE GROUND.

A BRIEF SYNOPSIS:

WHEN I WAS 4 YEARS OLD, MY MOM TAUGHT ME TO SEW. I HAVE DABBLED WITH IT OVER THE YEARS, BUT NEVER FORGOT THE TECHNIQUES SHE TAUGHT ME. HER TEACHINGS ALONG WITH MY VIBRANT IMAGINATION ARE WHAT PECHANGA'S CLOSET CRAFTIES ARE ALL ABOUT. MY CRAFTY CREATIONS ARE UNIQUE IN EVERY WAY. EACH ONE THAT I MAKE GIVES ME A SMILE AND A GIGGLE OF ENJOYMENT AS I LOOK AT EACH ONE I FINISH...

"STITCHED WITH LOVE , THEN FILLED WITH FLUFF & FUN!!!"

ALL OF MY CREATIONS ARE ONE OF A KIND. YOU WILL NEVER FIND THEM ANYWHERE ELSE. I MAKE MY OWN PATTERNS AND MATCH MY OWN FABRIC TO MAKE THE MOST UNIQUE CREATIONS. IT'S WHAT I FEEL AT THE MOMENT.

SO ENJOY & WELCOME TO MY CRAZY CRAFTY WORLD.

PECHANGA'S CLOSET IF MY CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS BLENDED WITH MY JOY OF SEWING.

DAY 220 MORE CHRISTMAS CRAFTIES

This will probably be my last post until the first of the year.  The Holidays are amongst us and it's the time to put Pechanga's Closet aside and spend time with family and friends.  


This first year has been much more than I ever anticipated.  And the support from my family and friends has been a dream for me.  I am so lucky to have so many people support me in my little crafty business.  I am so very thankful for everyone.  


This is the last of all my Christmas Crafties and the last Holiday Extravaganza for Pechanga's Closet. 


This next year I will push myself to focus more on some old things and some new things, work on  my website & add more of my crafties to my Etsy store.  My head still swirls in how far I have come this year.  


Merry Christmas to all!!!

DAY 207 HOLIDAY BOUTIQUE

Last Saturday was one of the final Boutiques of the Season.  Unfortunately, Pechanga's Closet did not do very well.  Just not he type of crowd that likes cutsie little creations.  


After the Boutique, I did get some replies about my Christmas Trees and other Holiday Crafties... so it made up for the loss on Saturday.  Oh well, what can you do.  Who knows when it will be rain or shine... and yes,,,,, it DID Rain on us.

DAY 202 DECEMBER CRAFTIES FOR BOUTIQUE

I kicked butt these last few days... I can't believe I created so many things in such little time.  Of course, I stopped my morning walks and never ate on my lunch hour, LOL.  But I did get some quality Crafties created.

DAY 199 GREY FOX

After a time away for the Thanksgiving Holiday, I finally finished the special order Grey Fox.  It is so adorable.  


It took much longer than I thought it would but the outcome is so over and above what I thought I could create.

DAY 191 SPECIAL ORDER GREY FOX

Last month I had a special order for a Grey Fox and other assorted animals.  The man who ordered them wanted them to be realistic looking.


This is super hard for me because I am not going from what is in my head, instead, to what someone wants it to look like.  


I have put it off and put if off until, of course the last minute.  This is truly challenging me... I am curious myself to see how I pull this one off.

Day 189 Holiday Boutique

Holiday Boutique last night and today.  It was at a local Church here, and was their first Holiday Boutique.  


They were very organized and very very friendly.  I had a great time and met some new and old friends.  And of course found some nice things to buy.  


My Crafties were very well liked and brought lots of smiles to peoples faces.

DAY 186 SPECIAL ORDERS DONE

Special order Crafties turned out very cute.  Actually, this Schnauzer turned out cuter than my original Schnauzer I made months ago.  


Now I have a request for a Boxer & a Pug.  We shall see...  


I changed up the Kitty just a bit, and puffed her face out.  I think it is more expressive.

DAY 179 CLEAN UP

With all the Boutiques these last few weeks, I've been working on Crafies each and every night.  Since I don't have a craft room, that means my living room and dining room have been a complete mess of material and other things.


With the Thanksgiving Holiday approaching, my Aunt from Texas is coming next week to spend 12 days with us...  


Time to clean up.  I tried to clean up with some sort of organization in mind.  But I still know, when I go to look for something I'm going to frustrate myself trying to remember where ever did I put it.  


Its very frustrating.....

DAY 178 COLLEGE CHURCH BOUTIQUE

College Church Boutique was last Saturday, it was a fun one.  Lots of people and fun music and raffles.  


The wind was very strong and at one point we had to hold the canopy down even though we tied it on all corners,It was still lifting up like we were on our way to OZ.

DAY 174 NEWEST OWLIE

Tomorrow is the Holiday Boutique at College Church.  One of my favorites.  

Thankfully, I was able to get some Crafties put together so I have some new things on my table. Three Owlies, One Sock Monkey, Mr. Tod the Sly Fox, a Green Mouse for my friend & a Christmas Tree that looks like it's right out of Whooville.

DAY 172 MR. TOD THE FOX





I started this Fox last week.  It was going to be a hand held fox that fit into a box.  After I finished the head, it was way too cute to put in a box. So I created a long body with arms and legs... then I thought, he needs a vest and coat, then I thought, he needs a hat, then I thought, he needs glasses.  After I finished him, I realized, He was from a classic memory back in my head of Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of Mr. Tod"  

Guess I have more memory from childhood than I thought. 

This is my Wise Mr. Tod
