This is an older piece of mine, The HausMaus. He stands about a foot tall and is ceramic. The poor dear has a lovely crack running down his front after being badly abused as a door stop for a couple of years.
I plan to revist this little friend of mine in the coming year.... as there are big changes coming to the Pumpkinhaus.
With the advent of the new legistation (CPSIA) I will have to put my childrens items on hold until they can somehow ammend this poorly written law. It is happy/sad for me as far as my shop is concerned.... I feel I have been neglecting my first love of sculpture and dollmaking. I have always been searching for an excuse to fully switch gears and return to my roots, now, I have to. I am just glad that I have something that I love that I can fall back on... there are many, many wonderful shops that are looking at fully closing thier doors come Feb 10th.
I have plans to put my shop on a two week vacation starting Monday, Dec. 22. I will be doing some shop cleaning.... house cleaning..... kid cleaning.... kid cuddling.... Joe cuddling, you know, the important stuff!
And, I will return in 2009 with a bright, shiny new shop! I will post updates over the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned for an inside peek at all of the exciting new things to come! I can't wait to dig in and share!
I wish you the Happiest of Holiday Seasons! Now go give somebody you Love a Big, Big Bear Hug!!!!

Freakin Crazy for you toy makers...it pisses me off. I love your dolls. But your scuplter is great. I wish I have a small kiln to do ceramics again.
Hi there, I totally feel ya.. I have yet to decide what will happen with my shop as I too will be affected.... I'm very upset.. I wish you great luck with your new venture..
Now how original is that! That is really cool Pumpkinhaus! I'm very excited about ADO and I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. I have bestowed the Marie Antoinette Award because you are just so freaking COOL!
Cheers to you and your family!
That is sooooo wonderfully cute!!
I dont know what Im going to make that will be legal. I my just close up as well, until I can figure something out.
as one door closes another opens! hopefully though, the silly government will get this all sorta out and you can do both!
but it still makes me so angry! lol
Oh I am so glad I checked out your blog! I am super sad about all this CPSIA stuff. I'll have to close my shop too. I think I'll start painting more.....but I really want to make stuffed creatures!! I look forward to seeing your sculpture!
