Baba Yaga by melissasue

Skunkboy Creatures. I've blogged before about how much I love Katie's soulful and charming plushes, and how they've become a gift-giving tradition for me and a friend. Today I got to meet Katie in person for the very first time at the Renegade Holiday show in Chicago. (No fooling, she's even cuter in real life.) Her display was knock-you-over adorable, and her creatures are beautifully made and full of personality. Read all about her preparations for the Renegade show here, and shop for Skunkboy Creatures here. Do it now!

I love this bird, from her tiny boots and chilly winter blush to her feathery tail. Birds of My Mind, Black Capped Chickadee; by Keighty Crochet.
