When I started sewing animals, I had no idea that I would get to be a small part of something so special and sacred as a wedding day. Making cake toppers (and in this case wedding cake toppers) makes me happier than I can describe. I love hearing the story behind every set of animals and knowing they represent two people who are completely in love.
This possum is extra special. She will be hanging from a bouquet held by one of my favorite customers. Oh, and I guess possums are way cuter in Australia than in the U.S. If they looked like this here I may not have minded the little fella who used to come around at night hiss at our kitty.
Ahh he's so cute!!

That's how I picture all woodland critters, wearing headpieces and maybe the odd tutu!

Yes, here in Australia the possums are cute, but they can certainly be naughty too. Their cuteness makes up for the naughty though. Well done Katie, this little possum you have made is beautiful. Love from Kelly NSW, Australia.
ReplyDeletethis little one puts an instant smile on my face :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is way too cute!!!

ReplyDeleteYou made a not so attractive real life animal into the cutest plush. I love this.

This is the cutest thing ever. You are so very talented Katie :)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! That is so cool you get to participate in something as fun and special as a wedding.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I totally googled "australian possum" and you're right-they're WAY cuter.
I'm convinced you have the most charming "job" ever! I'd love to have a whole Christmas tree full of your sweet creations!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, if i ever get married I would want something like this on the cake.

ReplyDeleteoh i love this little guy! So sweet that one of your fave customers is carrying it :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creation!
ReplyDeleteAwe :) Super cute possum! I love the stitches in the buttons for eyes - and how sweet that this lil one will be so sentimental to the couple for years to come :) Well done <3 ~Dawn
ReplyDeleteawww Katie! I showed my mum this post and she loved it. I'm really looking forward to meeting my lil creature. Thanks again, you met the brief perfectly. (and one of fave customers... say whaaat?!)
ReplyDeletePS If anyone is curious, US possums are actually opossums and have sharp teeth. Australian possums are an entirely different species, although they still can be quite naughty, they are very sweet. :)
how did I miss this?? Your talent is mind-blowing. I hope you know that.
ReplyDeleteOur kids have had pet possums in the past. When they got older we set them free but they would still come to us for food if we found them in the trees at night :)
how cute is that little guy! so australian possums look more like our squirrels? Why can't we have those? It would be so much better than the devil rats.
