I need labels. I don't have any for my bags or toys (Yay! I'm a toy-maker-person!) yet, but I neeeeeed to get some. Here's some funky ones I came across in Etsy (where else?). The Dancing Needle has some great labels...custom made so you can get exactly what you're looking for!

The Creation of Beaumont

I made several new toys this weekend! Beaumont is my favorite so far. I don't know what it is about him that I like so much, but he's super cute (: He's up for sale in my Etsy store now! I'm working on another guy like him and he should be up by tomorrow (:

Beaumont has a zipper for a mouth and it opens into a pocket that is the size of his body (9" tall x 7.5" wide). His ears can be used as handles. His eyes are two buttons and he has a striped tail.

So on my other blog, EtsyAlberta, I've asked for people to send me their pictures of crafts or something that represents Etsy.

I'm going to do the same thing here!!

If you have a pic that is crafty, send it to my email with the subject "Etsy Picture" and I'll feature it on this blog! If you have an Etsy store, I'll link your name to it for more exposure (:

The picture can be anything from you crafting, your workspace, your newest crafts, a craft fair you recently went to...be creative!

I can't wait to see them!!

Day of Projects

Today I've been super busy. I woke up dying to craft. I had so many ideas in my head, so many fabrics I wanted to work with, so many bags that needed to be made! It was so annoying to shower, it was going to take up all my craft time! (I did shower, don't worry :)

I'm doing a joint-effort project with another Etsy seller, Jenny Keith Hughes. She's painting several of my bags with her great art work, and we'll both be selling them, either in our Etsy shops or otherwise. I finally had time to work on making more bags for this project today and finished most of them...thank goodness! Here's the first bag we did together.



But my biggest pride today is the toys I made in the below pictures. Pika and Poko. They're bother and sister, the love buttons and safari's and they're always bothering each other. I wasn't able to get a picture of them both together, Pika was ticked off at Poko because she had told him she didn't like his tail. So separate pictures it was! These cuties and their cousins will be for sale soon in my Etsy store!

The Weird Bug Lady's store is so adorable (: I have a little niece I'm going to have to get one of these things for!! Aren't they cuuuuute?

Check it out! I'm being advertised! YAY! My first ad (:

I was going to be blogging about something totally different today and then I got "led" to this store....isn't it amazzzzzing? Love it. Love. IT! The Machine Stops is a freaking awesome store with super colorful photos that immediately (as per the now different blog!) draw you to their products.

I love these clothes, they're so original, so serendipitous (I like that word...not sure if it works...but I like it!) it's hard to not click the "buy" button!

Sigh. If only I was having the weather they are in the pictures.

Guess what temperature it is here. Guess. GUESS!! Nope, wrong. It's -30 degrees celcius. WITH a windchill. So really, it's like -48. Just lovely hey? I wonder if frostbite looks as good as a sunburn?
