TESTIMONIALS

I am so pleased with the work Miranda did on my corgi Nigel. He has been gone 7 years. It's like he is with me again. - Carol

Wonderful to work with and extremely detailed and thorough in her renderings. We will cherish this mobile even when our baby is grown and off to college. - Olivia

We couldn't be more pleased with our mobile from Miranda. She was very thorough in her research to determine the coloring and personalities of our dogs and captured them perfectly in her work! We know our daughter will treasure her mobile for years to come! - Carrie

PSST!! Place your order before the pre-sale DISSAPEARS!
I'll be deactivating the book listing tomorrow afternoon, so you have about 1 full day left to place your pre-order. Reminder that these pre-orders will come with some special treats (hint: there will be stickers, and a coloring sheet and a special invite-only LIVE ZOOM READING!)

Thank you to EVERYONE who has ordered a copy already. I will be placing my order with the printer at the end of the week! Squeeee!!!!!!

Have i mentioned how much i love a good baby testimonial?
My client ordered this mobile back in 2022 and finally has the adorable child to go along with the beautiful nursery. Congrats, Ashley and thank you for adding my work to your new happy place. <3

I have been on vacation! Sort of. Took a long weekend jaunt down to Socal to do a little rollerskating and visit with a friend.... But TOMORROW I will buckle down on finishing my last little book details and place my order with the printer!
Thank you to everyone who placed a pre-order!
I will close pre-orders mid week so that I can start printing them, ordering inclusions and boxes and generally preparing for the amazing task of packing up books when they arrive in a few months!

Don't worry, the book will be available for sale once again.... But you don't want to miss out on the fun thank you that will be going out with the pre-ordered books. Link in bio if you wanna snag a copy before I close sales for a minute.

Happy rump day!

On only a few occasions have I gotten to felt a pupper I've actually met IRL! Pocket and I have been so lucky to have gotten to host Marcel and his humans at our home TWICE.... and I've gotten to felt Marcel's Stubbin TWICE! Lucky me :) The last Stubbin was auctioned for charity but this one is headed to his Maman for safe keeping. <3

Fiona is a super cute Shiba Inu who I have felted a few times. Her mama loved my 'corgis de los muertos' Nubbins and commissioned a Fiona Sugarskull! I took this photo before I added the glow in the dark puff paint but some of you may have caught her glowing in my stories last week!

That thing where you have the perfect back jacket photo for your children's book, but it's your HUSBAND reading with your animal friends instead of you.... You clearly have to try and Photoshop your head onto his body and then laugh and laugh and laugh.... 😂😂😂😂

Thanks for suggesting I try this out, folks.... but NO, I will NOT be using this abomination 😂😂😂😂.

It's here!

After 4 years of slow and not-very-steady work on this little counting book, it's printing is finally on the horizon! I will be accepting pre-orders through February 21st and will place my order with the printer at that time. A 7 inch board book counting numbers one through twelve, these Pocket-filled pages are just right for reading with pre-k counter and early readers..... or adding to your grownup collection of corgi-themed kid's books.

As an early-bird you'll get getting a few extra gifts with your book and each copy will be signed by me and Pocket.! Your pre-orders will help me to know how many books to get printed. I appreciate YOU so much and can't wait to share this book with you and your family!

Share the love with your corgi lovin' pals and order the book online via the link in my bio.

This Sunday: be first in line to receive a signed copy of "12 Eggs Make One Dozen" by pre-ordering a copy (or three!)

Why pre-order (and have to wait a few months to receive your book), you may ask?? Everyone who places a pre-order will be entered into a drawing for a custom "Pocket" Nubbin! You will also receive a few special gifts that will only be available to those who show up early to the party!

So: mark your calendars for something to look forward to at the end of this crazy week and head over to my website to see some peeks into the pages. Are you excited???

Another TOTALLY EPIC testimonial post!

I made Lillian's corgi-themed baby mobile for her NINE YEARS AGO and here she is a thriving 9 year old kid who loves her corgi. Happy (recent) birthday, Lillian!!

It is my great privilege to create memorial pieces for animal lovers who have lost their dear friends. I received this message from my recent client and was moved to tears. I'm so proud of what I do, even when I feel like this isn't a very 'adult' job. I truly do make 'soul income.' Thank you, Kandee and all my clients for allowing me to create something special for you!

"Miranda,
I can’t thank you enough for how good my girl turned out. I have been looking at the picture's all day. She was my life saver. My husband of 40 years unexpectedly passed away and if it hadn’t been for my Sophie girl i think i would have died myself. You have such a wonderful talent thanks for sharing with us. I have such a beautiful memory of my girl. Thanks again."
Kandee

Did some planting along our riparian zone and found a nice path down to the creek! Spot played Adventurecat and came along. She had the best time running up mossy trees, sprinting around senselessly and flopping around in the sand. Good day for a cat!

This little Stubbin is excited that it is Friday....
And that I will be working on my website this weekend to be able to launch pre-orders of my children's book HOPEFULLY next week!!! Squee!!

Did you know that I was a trained and published children's book illustrator long before I took up the felting needles? Felting has pretty well taken up all of my time for the past TWELVE years but around 4 years ago I started a little project.... and it all started with this first sketch of a hungry little Pocket wearing a cute little bow.

Well here we are many years later, and several of the characters in the book have passed away since I began it. I am MOTIVATED to finish the project before my number one girl also crosses the bridge. So here we are: it is almost complete, just waiting on the cover design and a deposit to a printer!

BUT I NEED YOUR HELP! As a self publishing author/illustrator, I'm taking on the up-front costs and basically just guessing how many copies I may be selling in the next year or three. I don't want to end up with 10 cartons of books sitting in my guest room! But I also don't want to get too few on the off chance i have a thousand fans wanting a copy! I have created a brief poll to help me gauge interest: (link in my story!)
Please consider filling this out to help me make this big decision!

A little about the book: "12 Eggs Make One Dozen" is a counting book, printed as a 7" square board book, perfect for little hands. I hope it will inspire young children to want to learn to read and to count. There are 'secret' elements within each illustration for counting and the illustrations themselves feature Pocket (of course) and many of her friends around my farm, including Piggly and Wiggly, the duckies, Spot and Ebenezer and assorted wild critters. The art is traditional media, light and sketchy and whimsical.
I am hoping it will be a must buy for my mobile clients and folks who love collecting books about corgis.

Please consider leaving a comment with your ideas or excitement, and consider filling out that brief poll!

Thank you so much! Squeeee, i'm so excited this is finally (almost) happening!

First Stubbin of the year is complete and TOO cute!

Little Cody joined his family last year so he gets a Stubbin to be added to my client's mobile! (Remember that amazing Peter Rabbit mobile I did.... like 5 years ago???) Cody will travel to meet the newest skin-puppy of the family with some yarn strung through his belly so that mom can tie him onto the center strand of the mobile. I can't wait to see how it looks with the newest pack member.

Welp, it's 2025!
Here is a peek at my very last Nubbin of 2024 shipped out in time for Lillian's 9th birthday on the 11th of January! It's hard to believe I made her mobile NINE years ago and have been felting birthday Nubbins ever since. <3

If you are interested in recurring birthday Nubbins, holler at me to discuss! I'm happy to put your child's birthday on my calendar as a recurring event with a few weeks notice so that i have time to felt their special treat. And a reminder: Nubbins aren't meant to be played with and should be treated as a special 'on the shelf' collection to admire.

2024, what a year! I closed my shop due to an overwhelmingly long waiting list, but still managed to work on so many beautiful Fiber Friends! Here are 10 of my favorite projects, starting with a VERY FURIOUS Tom. There were lots of corgis this year (and lots of corgis in the future, I hope) plus some adorable cats and creative add-ons.

Thank you to everyone who supported me this year! I am excited to announce that the shop is once again open! You can easily purchase Nubbins, Stubbins and cake toppers via my website. I have decided to screen orders for realistic Fiber Friends so that I only take pets I am sure will be an excellent fit with my style and medium for 100% satisfaction for all involved! Mobiles are always ordered via a conversation so that we can come up with the perfect design for your nursery. If my waiting list spreads out longer than 4-5 months, I will mark items as sold out until things slow down some. You can find all the new information on how to order, prices, and all things Fiber Friends at my website (which may get a few more tweeks next week in case anything isn't super clear.)

Happy new year, my friends! Pocket, Spot, Andy and I (Miranda) wish you the best and can't wait to chat with you more in the new year!

Pocket has a BLEP of good tidings for all!!!!!
Exciting news for everyone who has wanted to place an order for a custom Fiber Friend or who missed out on the Nubbin of their dreams during my Pawliday launch: My shop is once again taking custom orders!!!
With some caveats:

Holiday Nubbins, custom Nubbins, custom Stubbins and cake topper sets are all available on my website to order now! Original Fiber Friends still require that prospective clients fill out my intake form to be sure that your pet is a good fit. My current wait time is only about 3 months! I plan to manage my website in a way that keeps my waiting list to be no longer than 4-5 months max. This means I may occasionally mark some custom pieces as 'out of stock' to limit orders, but the intake form will always be available to submit to so that you don't lose your place in the queue. :)

Second caveat: I am on holiday break for the next two weeks! This means that it may take me a week or so to send a personal confirmation email and schedule your order. But never fear: all orders (and inquiries) will be scheduled in the order they were received.

And third caveat: Corgis will always get approval as a custom Fiber Friend, but some breeds just don't lend themselves well to my work (and as an aging woman I'm prioritizing my finger pokes on the Friends that spark the most joy for me). Most toy breeds and some very silky furred dogs like long haired border collies or golden retrievers will likely be declined. I'm so sorry, but i hope you understand.

I have also spruced up my FAQ page to reflect my current policies. It's a bit of a novel, but has good info if you need it ;)

I hope you are all excited and that if you missed out on that Saint Lucia Nubbin you're invited to order one for your very own self right now :)

And as it is Yule eve (solstice is technically at 2 am tomorrow, which is basically tonight) I have one more treat for everyone that i'll post tomorrow. Stop motion lovers, stay tuned!

I did a little photoshoot with the elderly seal pup the other day. She did so great, but miss 'can't seem to hold still when pressing the shutter' snapped almost all of them blurry! Stoopid hooman.
Anyhoo: Pocket says helloo!! And she hopes everyone is having a nice weekend.
