One of the highlights of Tisha's repertoire are her adorable stuffed dogs and and other toys. With her mixed media approach, incorporation of different patterns and textures, and a combination of hand and machine sewing techniques, you'll know that you have found a one of a kind character to add to your collection. Her experience and inspiration comes from spending many days as a child with her grandmothers. They were seamstresses in a factory that created stuffed animals, and her fondness for the times she spent with them are definitely evident in her work today. While she learned basic sewing as a teenager, her friends and family encouraged her and inspired her just 10 years ago to really become passionate about sewing, and she hasn't looked back since. The dachshund shaped toys are inspired by her two weenies, Dinky and Toby. She likes to incorporate themes such as holidays and seasons and there will be even more great themes to come.
Her cat Jazzy was naturally the inspiration for the smaller stuffed versions, the Jolly Jazzy cat toy line. Filled with catnip, they're hard to resist. She even even smaller dachshund toys, maybe to deter Jazzy from tormenting Dinky and Toby in real life! Her cuddle sacs are a big favorite of of the pups as they love to hide away, and eventually the smaller versions became a fun spot for her hedgehogs. Her blankets toys and treats are so versatile, there is definitely potential to provide great quality items for a lot of her pets.Her entire animal family consists total of 5 dogs (Dinky, Toby, Goob, Lucky, Lady), 2 cat (Jazzy, Junior), 2 hedgehogs (Spike, Lucy), 2 horses (Poncho, Brightman), 2 mini Zebu (Chief, Miss Lily), 4 goats (Mickey Mouse, Sara, Toby, Hoby), 11 hive apiary, and numerous chickens.
Tisha also decided to use her love of organization, purses, ad gift-giving in general to design her bags. Wether you are looking for a coin purse, cosmetic bag, tote or a hobo purse, there is a cute design or color combination waiting for you in the shop. Her patchwork style and fabric matching make each piece fun and functional. No matter what you may find hat you enjoy, it's distinctively Tisha's style and can be seen in the cohesiveness of her shop items and design in general.
