So first up, here’s my Taffy in person:
Ok now that that’s done I wanted to share some amusing patterns I have in my possession, inspired by Annabelle’s post on strange pattern purchases and at her suggestion to share some of them, here you go – enjoy!:
ok maybe some people love 80′s fashion but large shapeless garments and shoulder pads are NOT my friend so this one is a “no” lol.
I realize men have to wear robes sometimes but that man in view A needs some pants too! lol
Is it me or are those shoulder pads in those nightgowns? I could never wear these to bed – I’d be afraid they’d suck me into another dimension lol
I know these are supposed to be cute but I just think they are creepy lol.
If anyone disagrees with my thoughts and absolutely must have one of these gems I’m happy to give them a loving home – otherwise I guess these orphans are all mine 
The last one is creepy! Very very creepy!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so lol
That’s so funny that you say those kids in animal costumes creep you out, because there’s this one pattern we have that is similar. Every time I see it, I get weirdly freaked out by it. Weird… Love your top =D
haha! what is it about them right? I think it’s the illustration style for me – makes the kids look like hungry cavorting goblins lol
Yes! Freaky!
I wholeheartedly agree lol.
lol glad to know I’m not alone
Your top is looking tops! Love the fabric
thanks!!
Your Taffy is gorgeous! Your patterns are indeed amusing! Part of me wants to rescue the animals but I think even my 8 year old daughter might be freaked at the prospect!
thank you!
lol don’t worry, the animals will be safe for now… I can’t bear to chuck a pattern, no matter how hideous 
Oh, I must have a taffy- yours is so lovely- great color! I also want a creepy animal costume that is easy to sew.
You should make one!
If you omit the bias binding it’s really quite a fast make 
If you really want the animals, they’re yours, just email me your address
Oh, you are too kind! I don’t have anyone to fit the costume, tho. Sadly.
It might be better for the world that way… creepy animal costumes roaming around willy-nilly could create a rift in the time-space continuum LOL….. that being said, if you change your mind, just let me know!
Your top is so perfect!
Aww thanks, you’re so sweet! ^__^
Your Taffy top is SO lovely! (As for the patterns, the little pink bunnychild is by far the most frightening, but I wouldn’t want to run into any of them in my neighborhood! Why is it that pattern illustrators can make women look so statuesque & gorgeous, but all the drawing of children look so evil?!)
The most frightening one to me was the mouse one… but they’re all quite terrifying. As an illustrator myself, the psychological implications behind how they portray women/children is a fascinating thing: perhaps the illustrator idealizes women as tall slender things and views children as evil little monsters? LOL.
Your taffy is gorgeous, gorgeous! What a wonderful piece to add to your wardrobe.
These patterns were definitely worth a good laugh ;p Shoulder pads on a nightgown – oh that is too much.
Aww thanks! ^__^
Haha yeah – glad the patterns amused you! LOL ^__^
First things first: looking mighty sexy in those Taffy photos! Meow.
Now, about that tall drink of water in the robe and sandals. What are you, walking from the cabana to the pool, ready to show the world your speedo? God, I hope there’s a speedo under there. His gf is totally the type to wear shoulder pads to bed, and they would spawn creepy kids and dress them up in creepy costumes and make them crawl around with their bunny tales in the air while the kitty gestures toward the bunny. Weird family, that one.
Bahahaha!!! Your comment cracked me right up! lol! You give him more credit than I – if there’s a Speedo under there I’d be surprised lol
Thanks for the lovely compliment too; you’re so sweet ^__^
