My first thought after seeing these handmade plush cameos and pillows was, "So cute that it hurts." I mean, look at these faces! And shapes! I have a list of children that I want to make happy with these adorable creatures. 

                         
Three Bad Seeds have created this collection of quirky and modern pillows. Each one is made from reclaimed, upcycled and repurposed linen and wool clothing. They cut every piece by hand and design its color combination according to the materials that they find locally. So cool!

                         

                         
Look closely at the dog, and you'll see it's actually made to look like a cameo. And that cute nose is killing me. The more conventional plush is adorable too, like the bison. And foxes have been a huge hit with kids these last few years--we called foxes the new owls a few months ago. Well this handmade plush fox would look cute used as a decorative accessory in a child's space, but I imagine it will get some time under the covers at night as well. -Kirsten
