Peep Show

So Many Downloads!!!Over 3500 free downloads have been, well, downloaded since the new system went up November 11th.  Thirty-five.  Hundred.  In just over a month. Wow.

How awesome is that chart?!  Thank you, Google!  Free, customizable, easy, awesome.  I'm a little surprised that Sasha and the Supercute Sea Creatures are kicking Sigmund's ass.  But I'm 100% happy that so many people have downloaded my patterns.  Keep it up!

I've started to get a trickle of pictures, links, and emails from those of you that have had a chance to sew up some felt sea life.  Look at these beauties!

Supercute Sea Creatures Mobile.  How smart is that?!.

This adorable holiday seahorse is just hanging around.

Stevie the Octopus has been on many adventures since he came into being.  Most recently he's been seen cavorting with towel animals.  That saucy monkey!  Here he is on a rooster!

Here's an acrobatic octopus in hot pink and black.

Don't look directly into the hypnotic eyes of this bright red squirmer.

And these newlyweds added photos of their wedding and honeymoon to the octo flickr pool.

Actually, you should go check out all the creatures in the Octopus Flickr Pool because you don't want to miss the pirate, the pandapuss, the John Deere tractor driver,  and some of the cutest photography on the web.

The Supercute Sea Creature Flickr Pool and the Seahorse Flickr Pool are less packed with photos, but no less cute.  You guys are going to change that, right?  I mean the "less packed" part, not the "cute" part ... :)

If you've made something from my pattern pretty please add it to the Flickr pool (I'll automatically be notified).  If you don't use Flickr, send me a link to the photo or your blog or, heck, just email me a photo!  I'd love to see what you're making and feature it in the next Peep Show installment.

Thanks for linking to my newly weds! My three year old niece saw me making an octopus this easter and was fascinated. She loved it SO much and still speaks about it now. Little does she know she has her very own futuregirl octopus waiting for her under her christmas tree! Eeeee! I still haven't had a chance to make a seahorse but I hope I'll find the time over the holidays. Thanks for all the fab freebies :)

thanks so much for all your sharing - I was greedy and downloaded all of them! Came to you via whip up, and have loved having a nosey around.

HI!
I bought your Octopus and sea creatures patterns last year and made them for Christmas gifts! Unfortunately, I was silly and didn't photograph them. I'll have to ask their owners to grab a quick pic for me so I can show you! Everyone Loved them!
I hung them around the neck of bottles of wine and presented them to the Hostess for Christmas parties.

Also, when the girls and I had trouble with the stitches we emailed you for help and you were so prompt and nice to us! Thank you so much!

I really enjoy your blog!

With four kids a puppy and a husband, I don't get much time to create but, I love coming here because you inspire me!

I am interested in your turtle pattern where is it available. Also do you have a dolphin one.

Dawn ... The turtle pattern is from a Japanese craft book: Aranzi Aronzo Fun Dolls. It has been translated into English, so you might be able to find it at the book store (it's on Amazon). I do not have a dolphin pattern. Why not make your own? :) It would probably be quick and easy.
