Vegasandvenice is selling her Shy Monsters coloring books on her Etsy shop!! YAY!! I already bought 2 copies. Yes I’m greedy greedy greedy.

One is for Helen and sorry I’m ruining the surprise Helen but I wanted to share how happy I was for Vegasandvenice and I’m worried that you’ll buy one when I’ve already bought one for you. Oh and I got you stickers too!

Here is the sad carrot drawing as a softie. When I was cutting his green top out I thought hmmm…that’s hard to see where to sew but I continued cutting and figured I could just figure it out as I went along. Well that didn’t work. It doesn’t look at all like what I drew. And then staring at my drawing I started to think his green leafy top looks more like it belongs on a pineapple. So he’s going back to the drawing board.

And the sewing…! His cross lines weren’t anchored properly so they’re coming up. And on his back side I started sewing his cross lines on the wrong side and you can tell. What do I mean? Well on my sewing machine, at the starting point the thread jumbles up and looks messier on one side than the other. Are all machines like that or does it have something to do with my tension? So I have to watch that the next time sad carrot is made.
