This was my farewell card from the folks at Tequila. You’re looking at it going, cool, that’s great… felt tequila bottle, buttons for eyes. The thing I have to tell you is that grown men (straight ones!) made this – men who dazzle you with their creative talent in the pixel department, not the pins and needle department. To make the greatest card ever Mr Frozen Trousers actually went to spotlight to purchase supplies and with Mr ggommezz stitched the fabric, felt and buttons to foamcore board and embellished it with embroidery.
It doesn’t get any more Krafty Kool than that people.
Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.

LOL I’m picturing my husband at Spotlight attempting to make sense of anything… nope can’t do it! That’s too funny… but it shows how much you mean to them
Such a brilliant send off.

that card is IMMENSE, I love it. I’m also thinking that the buttons would make great owl eyes….. just a thought…

The buttons are particularly impressive. They would be gorgeous as eyes on owls – I just don’t normally put them on cause all my owls go to babies. Although I was thinking of doing a few little tiny owls for xmas tree decorations and putting buttons on those.
