I suck at blogging.

I really, really do.
I need to start updating this thing regularly again. As of now.

A few new things have gone up in my shop recently:

A little gingerbread man brooch.

Silly but cute octopus earmuffs

Red earmuff monsters

Plus a few other bits and pieces :)

Hopefully some more exciting things will be popping up over the next few days too! As well as some more christmas items.

IM BACK!!!

With some new earmuffs as well:

Sugar Skulls earmuffs!!!

I'll be adding lots and lots of new things to my shops and posting about them here too, so make sure you keep an eye out!

I'm very excited! ^_^

I also now have a Twitter account too, so pop over and give us some love :) www.twitter.com/Snaarlz

So here goes the first one.....

Hand painted Pikachu false nails - by true love way vintage

Wall Tentacle - by Art Akimbo

Kawaii Banana Necklace - by Screaming Pillow

he even has a little mustache!

Cuteness Tee - by ThePetiteChouette

Fantastic Fox Hat - by awberry

shoes!!

i've started work on some shoes:

I LOVE cotton mary-janes!

soooo comfy.

there's going to be quite a few of these popping up in my shops i do think.

different colours and designs too.

all the colours of the rainbow!!!

im thinking of doing custom ones too, i shall have to see if people are interested...

im going to have to make myself some of these ones though!!!

cosy mitts

i've been busy, busy, busy the past few days creating new goodies to go in my shops.

however, i seem to have lost the charger for my camera and its all out of battery. so until my lovely new charger arrives in the post, i wont be able to list any of my new things =[

i've spent a whole load of hours working on these:

new mitten monsters!!!

(notice the bad phone camera quality picture)

these babies are made from a long cream coloured fur which has a slight shimmer to it (the photo totally doesn't do them justice) have hand sewn faces and are fully lined with a lovely soft brown fleece with no raw edges inside so they wont annoy your little fingers!

i have no idea what to charge for them though =/

i've also made a monster phone/mp3 case, a pair of apple cupcake earrings and a grapefruit and lemon cupcake necklace (because i stole the last one i made for myself *guilty face*) and some Hello Kitty shoes.

and today im working on some halloween themed earmuffs. yay!

i've also had orders for two pairs of soot sprite shoes, a pair of cupcake shoes and a tentacle cupcake (as the other one sold).

hopefully i'll get my charger on Friday and can start listing things then.

but for now there's some new things in my Folksy shop which were previously only in my etsy shops. go have a look HERE.

tell me what you've been working on!

yum yum

so i've put my kiwi and starfruit necklace up on etsy and its soon coming to folksy too.

i should also have all my earrings up for sale tonight too

and im starting work on some halloween cupcakes too!

im so excited XD

heres the necklace:

i think it looks so tasty!!! 

im surprised that i havnt tried to eat it yet =]

Its in my "Bee Delicious" etsy shop, go check it out.

im so proud of my little cupcakes =] i even stole a pair of grapefruit cupcake earrings to keep for myself! they were too cute!

and i posted your packaged out today theothermousie.

so Eric should be with you very soon indeed!

sweet tooth

i finally had a go at making some fimo cupcake earrings and necklaces today.

i've been wanting to for AGES.

i love cupcakes. i could live on them. for real!

and i've always been really into fimo cupcakes too, but yet i've never bought any as i've been holding out until i make my own.

and i kept putting it off as i thought that i would be no good at it at all,

but im actually quite proud!!!

the photo i took is really orange/yellow as its quite late, but i'll shove some more on here tomorrow for you to see

baaaaah! i think they're adorable!

i just love kiwi! its going to be hard for me to sell them; but alas, i must!

i've made others too; including, strawberry and chocolate and grapefruit!!!

they dont really fit in with my "Snarlz" shop though, do they? what do you think???

im planning on making some halloween themed ones which i guess i can sell with my monsters, but im not sure =/

I went charity shop hunting today, mainly for some old cameras, which i didnt find.

i did get a few books though, and this:

an owl pot!!!

isn't he just the most super thing ever?!

i fell completely in love with him. now i just need to think of something that i can keep in him.

last chance

You only have until midnight tonight to enter my giveaway to win a monster!

go go go people!

its HERE.

and in other news, i made my first halloween item today

(though i guess as all my items are monsters, they could all be considered halloween-ish?)

Here he is:

He's a little devil monster brooch >_<

sorry for the rubbish photo though... i must go take some better ones and then list him in my shops tonight.

Im also in the middle of making two new pairs of earmuff monsters

ones pink-blue-purple with a dash of pale green (sounds odd, but i promise it works!) and the other pair is red and black.

so keep an eye out for those!

and a monster scarf will be listed within the week too!

exciting stuff!

and check out my blogs new look!

cute huh?!

news news news

i went to a Lammas party last night.

Lammas is a pagan festival which celebrates the beginning of harvest.

It was lovely =]

we had it outside even though it was pouring down with rain. We all sheltered under a make-shift shelter but it was nice anyway.

And there was a fire, marshmallows and we all tried to get into the spirit by making corn-dollies... which didnt actually turn out too well, but still.

unfortunately i forgot to take my camera so i cant show you the wonderful festivities.

In other news, i managed to catch a pair of Mitten Monsters in my garden today.

They're a lovely canary yellow colour and so cute!!

I may have to catch myself a pair to keep!

Though i've already decided to keep my monster scarf to myself (i loved it too much!) so maybe not....

These mittens are going to go up in both my folksy and etsy shops today.

Along with some more earmuff monsters:

aaaaand im going to be featured on a blog by Memoriesinmosaics from Etsy!

im so excited!

i just need to answer all the questions and send them off now =] i'll let you all know when it happens.

Also remember, there's three more days left until my giveaway closes!

ENTER NOW to be in with a chance to win one of my monster keyrings!!! go go go!

monster keyring - GIVEAWAY

would someone please start a drumroll for.... MY FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY!

*claps*

hopefully this will be the first of many.

Right, so in this giveaway one lucky reader could win one of my monster keyrings!

And this one is special because it has never before been seen!

Not in any of my shops, or my deviantart.

He's a bit shy you see.

anyway, here he is:

All you have to do to be in with a chance to win him is:

• come up with a super name and wonderful background story for him! (see my etsy or folksy shop descriptions for examples)

And either:

1. put a link on your blog to my Etsy or Folksy shop.
2. put a link on your blog to this blog
3. follow this blog.

you dont need to do all three.

just pick one (of course you can do all three if you would like. that would be lovely) and create a name and backstory for the monster.

This competition will close in one weeks time on 6th August.

good luck all!!!

Earmuff Monsters
