on the table...

There are 18 Love~Snug~Tug's being put together.

Have you seen these yet?

They are lovie/teething type infant toys.
They come in three shapes,
Baby~ Akachan
Turtle~ Kame
Elephant~ Zou
Kept small enough for safety yet big enough to cuddle up close with.

They have stuffed heads, feet, tails for chewing.
They are double sided, one cotton print and one cotton texture being chenille, velour or corduroy.

Coming soon- Love Snug Tugs with wooden teething rings attached.

A new direction

So I've been thinking, alot, especially since the accident and I feel strongly about a new direction for Noguchi Designs.

I've always sewn, gifted everything in the beginning, then came my Little Lady and I moved on to Dresses and Toys (mostly) and opened shop. I love what I do, SEWING, it is a hobby for me not a job. I don't do well with stocking dates or times, I can function with a custom just fine in a turnaround that's pleasing to both myself and the buyer. I feel I shouldn't stress out over a hobby.

No I'm not closing, I am just slowing down and not committing anything. If I get a stuffed animal urge, then hey, I'll post that new Toys are available, or if I find a totally great Kyoko fabric I just have to make, I'll announce that there's new stock up. So on and so forth.

Now with the Quilting that I'm trying out, I'd love to have others enjoy them, I will try to find places to donate too, gift them as needed or wanted and maybe get lucky and sell one.

Just this month I made and donated 10 dresses to Dress A Girl. Do you know how super great it felt to drop that package off at the PO yesterday?

Oh so wonderful! that's how.

I do hope you stick around here and on FB I do appreciate all of you and your comments :)

softies for Christchurch

As I posted earlier about the softie drive here ,

we now have our box all ready to go out tomorrow morning.

Included are 3 Tutrtles and 4 Owls

Wk 8 of 52

So all week long my mission has been to perfect these little guys and their nest,
the 3 little birds are good to go,
my nest.... not so much
with the help of my mom I present them in a crochet nest/bag




~*Available*~ in both shops at $12 each set plus shipping

chirp, chirp, chirp

I'm working on a new item/set for the shop,

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Here we have 3 little birds ~

pictured with two different nest options

with the cloth nest shipping would require for me to fold it then it would need to be reshaped

with the crochet bag version it's flexible and a to go bag to bout

I'd also love to hear how much you'd pay for a set like this.

Softie drive

Do you sew, crochet, knit?

Care to join in?

We are aiming to send out a handful of Owls shortly.

custom "pink" fairy

She was done up during this past week,

ordered by a hubby in Kuwait to be sent to his fairy collecting wife

Please meet....

Bubba "Daddy" Doll



It was such a pleasure to make this special guy,
he went home to be loved and hugged by an 18mon old boy who's about to experience a deployment.
He is custom made to look like Daddy even down to his clothes which are upcycled from an old ABU top.
Being an Active Duty Military family this just tugs at my heart and it was such a great feeling to send him home.

Wk 4 of 52

A Romper!
Yep it's not a dress, I had this lovely Michael Miller 'giraffes garden' fabric but no coordinates for it so as I'm sitting here wondering oh cute now what....
It was suggested to try a romper with something else so I put the two together and viola.
This one has shoulder ties I find it to be more feminine, the print though I believe is gender neutral.
Sized 6-12mon
length armpit to closure is 15in
chest/back elastic sits at 17in around and stretches to 26in
leg/thigh sits at 10in with stretch
To go along with it is a tiny teether buddy.
So what do you think?

~*Sold*~
