Happy February everyone! I’m celebrating it with some new stock on the etsy.com store! I’ve been a busy little bee in my time off, and have a whole bunch of newbies online for your purchasing pleasure. Remember, you’d throw more money at a lesser quality product walking through the mall…why not plan ahead and support hand-made crafts, created with love and care. Your support goes directly to the creator (me), who in turn supports independent suppliers and crafters. A whole lotta love going on there! Hey, and these would be perfect for your lady friend come Valentine’s Day (you have to be quick though, as postage times are a little out of my control).
Well, Adventures in Paprika has taken a break this week due to not being able to coordinate with the Old Lady, so instead my creativity was channelled elsewhere into a collection of bookmarks! These bookmarks are intended for some lovely readers of a book a day…, as we’ll be having a competition to win them, although we’re not quite sure for what as yet…maybe for ‘comment of the week’.
The title pretty much says it all. It wrecked my eyes, as the colour of the thread was a little too close to the sock fabric of my monkey, so I could barely see it! Probably could have taken my glasses to see better too. Headache aside, and half a day later – sock monkey lives! Ohhhh, and what you can’t see is that he’s a little bit Frankenstein‘s monster…he has a massive scar on the back of his head where I cut to stuff him…you see…your supposed to cut the face and then cover it with the snout but goose over here mis-read it, and only half way through stuffing considered that maybe this wasn’t quite right. Anyway, he’s loved. I reckon I might make some more sock monkeys. It’s therapeutic and I could actually do this one on the daily train journeys, as there’s not much need for me to spread out. Stuffing of monkey would of course take place in the comfort of the lounge room at home. Anyway, if you want one, drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do for you.
I’ve recently had a craft-spurt motivated by my lack of employment as well as, initially, strange sleeping patterns. The results have been uploaded to my etsy.com store. I’m really enjoying covered buttons. They’re just cute! Anyway, more of the ‘classic’ headbands are now available too.
I’m also currently working on a batch of new greeting cards featuring pinwheels, like the ones I made for my wedding decorations!
I think my crafty-ness may be becoming an obssession!
So, while waking at 4:10am is not ideal, I have managed to make good use of the time and begun expanding my repertoire! I will soon be adding button bobby pins to my Etsy.com store for your purchasing pleasure. I’ve also started on all new headbands and am experimenting with organza flowers! I have been a busy little bee! Enjoy.
