PlumsPudding

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7093228

PlumsPudding has a fantastic shop on etsy where she sells play food, silk, cloths, toys, and a few other items. My personal favorites are the Felt Wool Play food which sometimes looks like real food in pictures! They are so detailed and realistic, I could not help but go through and look at every single item in her shop.

"Having a chef background, I am also usually food inspired!"
The play food is needle felted made from wool roving and she also deals with playsilks dyed in brilliant colors "(usually named for food also)", hand-stamped t shirts with fruits and veggie designs, as well as market totes and a few "whimsical" adult items like hair ties.

What I think is great besides how awesome her items look is that they are made with natural materials whenever possible, especially since many of her items are made for children. And this hobby of PlumsPudding has been a part of her life for years but only for the past three and a half months has she been selling her creations on etsy, and she has been doing quite well!

One item that is best seller is her Marshmallow Wool Dryer Balls, which are used in the dryer to speed up the drying process when you do laundry! It is a neat idea and worth the purchase.

"I would love to give hand-carved rubber stamps a try, that pink material that most are made from seems like it would be really satisfying to carve into. I love creating new food items that aren't common, like my pineapple, cottage or cannoli."

Good luck to PlumsPudding, and I can't wait to see more of her creations in the future!

I am so greatful for everyone who has allowed me to do features on them here on this blog, and the wonderful individuals who have begun to watch this and read my posts! Thank you to all.
Recently I have been thinking and I decided that every now and then, or once every other week or two I would shake things up and do a post on Great Etsy Finds, Personal Favorites, Art Styles, Cool Places, and many more things. Basically I would post about other things as well as Etsy sellers! I am open to any and all suggestions, so feel free to comment on something you would like to read about!
Again, thank you to everyone, and I cannot wait to begin writing about more topics that are fun and new to read about.

  1. Thanks for the write up! It feels great to know my items are making people smile. I love working with people to come up with new items as well, most recently my playsilk playscape, which is a great and less expensive alternative to felted playscapes.
