Meet Plush You! artist: Yummy Pancake

Yummy Pancake makes some hilarious stuff!  I have really enjoyed working with her over the years and getting to know her virtually.  I hope you will too.

Tell my readers a bit about yourself
I am a perpetual kid who loves to crochet.  If it exsists in the world, or in my imagination, I can crochet it.  I have never met a hook or a skein I didn't like.  I love cats, bacon, pez, sloths, pierogies and memes...I am also a sucker for memes - this shows in my work.  I've only been at this since 2007, because that's how I roll.  I live in the heart of Amish Country in Pennsylvania, with my three floofy kitties(Guinness, Jericho and Threecat McPuffypants) and my uber supportive husband ^_^   

What do you love most about making plush toys?
I love to make stuff.  Finishing a new design is the best feeling in the world ^_^

Is this your full time job?
Unfortunately, no.  I am a Project Manager by day at a Pharmaceutical testing laboratory.  My plush making is my stress relief, and hopefully one day, it can be my full time job ^_^

What sites do you look at for inspiration?
I find inspiration over the entire interwebs!  And also in places as simple at the grocery store ^_^  

Did you do anything fun for the summer?
Actually yes.  Now that I am in my mid thirties, I have decided this is a good time to push myself and do some crazy things...like run.  I hate running, and I hate sweating....but I actually ran the Warrior Dash and Run for Your Lives this summer!  The Warrior Dash is a 5k with obstacles, such as fire, big walls and barbed wire.  The Run For Your Lives is a zombie infested 5K with obstacles...so you are dodging people dressed up as zombies, who are trying to steal your lives(flags) while doing obstacles such as crawling under electric fence in mud.  Both were crazy, but both were also uber fun!
