felt like it

In the few minutes I had to spare at Providence Open Market this past weekend I came across a tent I haven’t seen there before.

What caught my attention was the stuffed green bean {quite similar to Bartie the Pear pictured here} I was originally introduced to through twitter. My favorite handmade store in providence was showing off some new goodies one fine day, the cute as pie green bean with a face being one of those adorable pieces. Since then, I have been on the lookout, hoping to see these adorable stuffed animals in person.

I was all alone in my booth this past Saturday so I wasn’t able to handle all of lovely offerings on Felt Like It’s table. But I took a business card and vowed not to just place it in the recycling bin as I do with so many others. This time I would scour the internet for this person’s work. I am so glad I did. Vegetables with a face are too cute to pass up. These need to find a place on my studio refrigerator soon. I need a gentle reminder to eat some veggies instead of all those vegan cookies I have been munching on lately.

I have this fascination with owls. They are so cute and stout and generally well depicted by crafters. These are no exception. Felt Like It has a way with picking fabulous color combinations. I just love how she gives her pieces such cute little faces.

Felt Like It’s subject matter seems endless. She interprets everyday items in a fun, light-hearted way. We are able to interact with her pieces differently than we would with the real item. Unless you are into hugging your hamburger that is. {That’s right, she makes stuffed hamburgers too!}

Enjoy Felt Like It’s shop. Get some plushies for a little one you love. If you are in the area stop into Craftland and play with these in real life. Go on, you know you want to hug a pear.
