New item!

Due to circumstances beyond my control I will shortly be doing Etsy full time, assuming I can make a living. Which would be great! But first I have to make a sale...

Anyway, I have a new item in my shop!!
It's a hedge hog mobile!
It has four brightly colored hedgehogs (blue, green, red, and purple) and four cute mushrooms. They are stuffed with polyfil and the hedgehogs have safety eyes.
This adorable mobile would look great in a woodland themed nursury, or just in your home. I am considering making a zombie version...

Something's a-brewing

Ok, not literally. But I've got some new projects brewing in my mind. Mostly involving yarn. Of course.
Unfortunately, I can't show you yet. I am having trouble getting them finished. But I can give you a sneak peek, at least.
One main problem I have discovered at the moment is finding the time to do anything. Having a full time job is counter-productive to starting my own business. But necessary if I want to keep my house.
Also, I have no work space until we can get the house painted and organized. That makes it difficult for me to concentrate.
Three words: puppies are demanding. I love him dearly, but holy yarnballs! I need a break. Or I need him to grow up really quick and calm down.
I look at all these talented people who were able to to run their own businesses, bake a cake, clean their house, AND spend a lovely day of shopping with their friends and wonder how the hell they managed to do it all in one day. Granted, they don't have a full time job on top of running their business. But I can hardly manage my life as it is.
Anyway, enough with my incessant babbling. Here's a sneak preview:
No, it's not just colorful hedgehogs. They are part of a much bigger and cuter project, assuming everything goes to plan. Hopefully I will actually get a chance to work on them today.
I designed them myself. I love hedgehogs.
These little guys have actually helped me stay positive this last week when I thought I was going to lose it. Work has not been easy for me lately (especially considering I haven't had a vacation since my honeymoon last year), and it's nice to have some sort of comfort and something that is very "me" here at the office where everything is so "corporate" and business-like. This environment is too serious for me.
But these cute little faces help me get through the day :)

ETSY!!!






It's about damn time! I finally got around to posting a few of my items on Etsy.com. It only took 2+ years, but I did it!

I'm sure it will take some time to establish the shop, but that's a good thing. Then I can take some time and try to come up with other things to make.


So if you know anyone who likes zombies or scarves and hats, pass the word!! I'd really appreciate it :D
