Hello!
My name is Jenny Jones, and I am the designer/creator behind Butt Uglee. I live in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania. My journey with BuTT UgLee began in 2001.  I opened my Etsy Shop back in 2007. My style has morphed over the years. If you look at the Uglee's I have sold on Etsy or visit my website, you will see the range of characters I developed. I have loved every one of them and had a hard time seeing them shipped off to their new homes. If I could, I would have kept every one of them.  

I have been absent from Etsy for the past 7 years or so. This was not by choice. I guess you could say life got in the way. I needed to move and go back to work full-time in a new city, far away from Denver, Colorado. I am a full-time employee at a major hospital in Pittsburgh, trying to be a part-time artist.

Starting a new career was exciting, but it pulled me so far from what my hands and heart wanted to do that, at times, I felt completely paralyzed. What had given me so much joy and filled my soul was gone. Replaced by long hours and facing a long commute into the city each day. There was no time left for creating, sewing, and painting. It was heartbreaking. This is why there is such a gap between the last Uglee I sold and today.  

Years have passed ... and now I have finally found a way to create the time and space needed for my "OriginaL UgLees" once again. Damn ... life is good! It took tons of purging and rearranging to create a cozy spot on our 1st level laundry room/furnace area of the townhome. UgLees need a lot of space! I also required a close water source, room for supplies, and more importantly, I needed a space where I could walk away from my mess out when I needed to step away. This was the only space that would work logistically. It's not perfect and a far cry from my last 2 studios, but I can make almost any space work if I put my mind to it. This could be my most favorite studio space yet. Here are some of its features. 
  •  It is the coldest room in the house, which is perfect for summer.
  •  All my supplies and sewing machine are less than 3 steps away.  
  •  My washtub is 4 steps away.  
  •  It is located right off the garage, so when I need to drag in bags of supplies, I don't have to go up several flights of stairs.  
  •  I can do laundry at the same time!
Can life get any better than this??? 
I think NOT!  
YES! I will continue to create my newest mini art dolls and Freestyle Embroidery Hoops. They are now part of the BuTT UgLee family. Keep checking my Etsy site for new pieces. I still have a few MiNi ArT DoLLs that need to be added, along with some really cool Skulls Embroidered and mounted on hoops. (They are so freakin cool I may just keep them for myself as I am a collector of SkuLLs.).  

Embroidery is easy to travel with. I often use my lunch break to work on a few stitches. Other days you'll find me stuffing eyeballs. People walk by and look at me like I'm crazy. S0 ... what's your point?

The remainder of 2020 will be spent getting back into the swing of things. My focus will be to work slow and steady to get the original Uglees back on my Etsy site. If there is a particular design you are interested in, just let me know. I'll see what I can do.

Message me on Etsy or email me at BuTTUgLee@gmail.com if you have any questions!
