When cabbage patch kids came out the 1st ones were hand made and their face was scuplted with long needles. After I tired of those I made a hot pink ballerina pig with snout,curly tail,and cloven front feet. The back feet were in slippers.
When I first started spending so much time on the computer my feet would swell but I hate a footstool because it hurts my knees. I made a foot stool that had a top at 45degrees and was padded and on wheels to move out of the way when I wanted my feet down.
I took a twin bed matress frame suspended it from the ceiling with chains. entwined silk wines and roses for my 6 year old.

Everyone knew exactly what his costume was and he looked adorable!

Not odd, but I make chemo caps, mostly cotton, but have made them out of flannel,warmer for winter. I also took apart a bikers head wrap. Ties in the back to fit the head.
I have made a body wrap out of flannel to go under a body brace. That was kind of weird.

I made a medicine holder for my husbands inhalers. He died of emphysema five years ago. He loved having an elasticized pocket to fit each one of his medicines to keep him breathing. I used a canvas or duck type fabric and velcro for the project. It was sort of like a make up kit... I wish I had kept it...but I thought maybe someone else who was suffering might be able to use it.
