No more Artfire shop...

So Artfire has decided to "upgrade" all the shops on their site to the fancy account you have to pay for... As in, no more free shop. K and I have decided to switch exclusively to etsy, but haven't had the time to actually move things over yet, so our etsy shop is still empty and boring. It may be a bit yet until we do that, between being in Seattle currently (surprise!), my laptop dying completely (again!) and the Fall semester starting as soon as we get back home. Soooo... keep an eye out and thank you for being patient with us! :D

Long time no post.

I just moved in with K, so I haven't had much time to post about anything or even work on anything...

I have, however, just finished something I've wanted to make for a while...

It has something to do with chickens and pudding..... Hehehe....

Will post photos soon.

For now... something cute: Otters!

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.
