Finally updated!

New items in the shop!

Here are some photos that are shown in the shop, as well as some outtakes/behind the scenes/me playing with the dolls in my plants!

Firstly, an itty bitty fuzzy pink bunny! I think he may be my favourite, but I am tempted to make another one without limbs... Like a weird pink bunny-bean!

He is only 4.5 inches/11cm <3

A close up on the embroidered face....

A slightly larger, but still small bunny. Originally, I was going to make ice cream bunnies with ice cream melting down their heads, but it didn't look right. So they are just two-colour bunnies!

He is only around 7 inches, or 18cm.

You can wiggle his arms...

And he has a tiny pink tail!

A larger icecream-inspired bunny! I couldn't decide if I like his collar or not, so I didn't attach it...

In the tomato-seedling jungle!!

Sadly, my tomato seedlings are only as tall as him... about 9 inches, or 23cm.

Not for sale until I get alligator clips, but here is a preview of a sprinkled-bow! I will be makind different varieties of sprinkled bows soon... Including pastel seed bead sprinkles and pearl sprinkles!

And here is a mint scrubby... I am not sure if anyone would buy this. Would you?

It isn't bleachable because of the coloured yarn... But I have been using one on my face for exfoliation. It works pretty well, but is also rough enough to use as dishes.... K said people wouldn't use dish scrubbies on their faces or vice versa, but I think this really works for both! Not that you would use the -same one- on both... Ew...

.. a cute little crooked-mouthed jellyfish. I made one of these at Con-G, and it sold almost right away. So cute and tiny! Only 1.5 inches/4.5cm across!!

A cookie brooch with a bow and pearls..

And a smaller cookie brooch with pearls. I have not put this one up for sale yet because I want to add a hairclip, too.... should I?

THAT'S ALL FOLKS. Until I build up lots of new things again...

And another...

So after discovering it yesterday, I have been reading Homegrown Simplicity's blog, and found out she is having another simultaneous giveaway! That is also REALLY EXCITING!

I am moving in with K soon (would have been earlier, except a housemate of his needed to stay for some of the summer). I really like the idea of making my own cleaners, because...

• They are usually made out of things around the house, so I can make and use them whenever I need to instead of waiting for someone to run to the store.
• They are less full of carcinogens (yay!)
• I have skin allergies that make me afraid to touch cleaners sometimes... as well as to use them...
• It is just nice being able to make your own things :D

So anyways. If you couldn't tell from everything I just said, she is giving away a few things to do with homemade cleaners! I think I love this woman!

Here is a link to the giveaway!

I PROMISE PHOTOS LATER TODAY!

Man. Our non-existent followers must not trust me now. I have promised a real update for so long, but keep getting distracted! Ach!

While you wait for a real update....

You may not know this about K and I, but we love canning...

So when I found out that reusable canning lids existed today, I nearly cried with excitement!

And then my mum showed me this sweet giveaway at Homegrown Simplicity! Not only do I find this blog amazing, but she is giving away some of the reusable lids I found! So you better believe I am entering every way that I can!!! (/*A*)/

Click here to go directly to the giveaway!

So excited...

Update soon!

I have been working on a few things and will be posting photos of them soon! As soon as the sun comes back and I can take some semi-decent photos...

A hint of what's to come: BUNNIES.

UNPLEASANTNESS

I've been making things, but I've been sick for about a week now. My brain feels like it's going to pop out my eye sockets.

Things are progressing slowly, as they always seem to with me. Things to come.

Horrible Frog Creature

 I said I was here, so here I am. I've been very busy, sadly, which kind of slows the make-cute-things down. That being said, I've been making this Horrible Frog Creature for a little while. I made the head before I made the body, so it turned out a bit weird. In the future, I think I'm going to make the body before the head, unless I'm working from a pattern.

The main problem was I tried to do something I'd never tried before, kind of spur-of-the-moment. I tried chaining a few off the last row of a leg, then attaching it to the other leg, and continuing to make the legs and torso all one bit. The process can sort of be seen in this video, which is where I got the idea. Or rather, Nekoyumi showed me this video, I went "WHOA WHAT'S GOING ON THERE" and she explained it to me.

Anyway, I'm probably going to remove his head, make a new one, and save that one for something tinier. We'll see. I'll probably post the results. Also man this thing is lumpy.

-K.

Mint x Pink!

So I have been working with my mint coloured yarn a bunch today and yesterday. Maybe I will post photos of what I am working on soon.... with my super cool ghetto light tent I made with Violet's guest tutorial! I kind of failed at closing the gaps between the paper, though, so there are streaks of light I have to avoid when shooting...

Also, I only had normal 9"x11" printer paper, so it's kind of tiny... Oh well! It's better than nothing!

(10 minutes later...)

I lied!
I feel weird not posting pictures of anything.
Maybe that's because photos are my favourite parts of peoples' blogs?

Firstly, an itty bitty mint jellyfish.... I haven't put his face on yet. I also forgot to squish his head into a normal shape before photographing him. :/

Aaand a pink and mint bow! I have to say, this is one of my favourite colour combos. I can't decide what to do with it though. Brooch? Hair clip? And should I put sprinkles on it? Pom poms?
(Not gonna lie, my pom-pom addiction is definitely caused by looking at Twinkie Chan's adorable crochet stuff... I am definitely regretting not buying this huge bag of pastel pom poms I saw at Michael's a few months ago.)

My cat Luna is twitching in her sleep... She is so cute!

P.S. Really need to get on prettyin' this blog up, huh?
