I shipped out a pair of custom Fern Animals today - the last to be made in a while. It feels good to take a break from things sometimes. Especially when that thing is something you have been making nearly non-stop for the past five or so years. That's hundreds upon hundreds of Animals! :)
This pair was made as part of a two year wedding anniversary gift. Embroidery with the couples monogram and wedding date was requested, so I hid my "signature" on the underbelly of each Fern :)
I bet I'll give in and make more Fern Animals once we get closer to the holidays (I do love making them to hang as ornaments), but for now, a break feels nice.
thank you again Ashley. I love them. These are a wonderful gift..perfect for a "cotton" anniversary! I too hope you are making more around the holidays..I love the ornament ones!

It is good to take a break when you aren't feeling it. Otherwise, you may be being more of a businesswoman than an artist (not necessarily a bad thing). I love the animals and I'm sure they will be back. When you feel like making them again I bet they will be fresher and cuter than ever.
