Sewing by Desperation

I haven't successfully made it downstairs to my workshop since I broke my foot.  I'm stir crazy . . . to say the least.

So I made one of my boys the "creature" I told him I make a year ago. Somehow, it took a robot turn. Imagine that.

Do you see the worry in the robot's face? It's almost as if he knows what's in store for him.

Roxie, the Unflappable Flapper

In keeping with her "Flapper" ancestors, this little lady is a spunky one.

Roxie is a fun-lovin' bot with a love of all things colorful. Her brightly colored canister body is her pride and joy . . . next to her handmade button skirt.

She's young and pretty and--let's face it--irresistible with her big gold eyes and shakeable skirt. And just so you know, her whole body "bobbles" with a slight touch, adding even more fun to that spit-fire personality.

 (Made completely from recycled materials. Stands almost 14" tall, 5 1/2" wide. Body opens for storage.)

Day 181 - He's a Gem

Today, my son wanted to make a robot out of "gems" he rescued when I cleaned out my mosaic supplies a while back.  The red ones in the middle are buttons, okay?

Day 127 - Red Robot

New 8" stuffed robot.  I like his "mismatched" feet and pocket mouth.  I may do some tweaking later, but this is as good as it gets right now.

Day 105 - Button Bot

Found the button box from my mosaic days . . .
