so after TWO YEARS of absence......im finally back!!!!

i've been very, very busy with uni and other bits so i haven't been able to keep up to date with my online stuff :(

it was all very sad!

buuuuut, now i am back - on Etsy as well as Folksy!

have a look around my shops and see if there's anything you like.

there's a lot of stuff that was there two years ago, but there's some lovely new things too!

and they'll be lots and lots of new things popping up over the next few weeks

including many, many earmuffs!

sneaky peek:

a selection of animal hats

including this bear, a fox and a koala!

Monster bags

There's also a larger orange one in the shops.

My monster shoes.

only just finished after twoooo long years.

i need to make a pair in my size!

hopefully i'll be able to start updating this blog of a regular basis too!

i've missed this world!

pop by and say helloooo!!!

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!!!

"keep your nose to the grindstone"

i went to a clairvoyance evening last night.

i really didnt know what to think, and i guess i still don't =/

my boyfriend had wanted to go to one for a while though, due to his dad dying.

He didnt get a reading, but i did *eeep*

apparently there's an old woman close by me trying to push me and keep me going (im guessing its my great nan) and an old man who smokes a pipe (no idea who that is, her husband maybe?)

the medium was rather lovely about me really.

she said that im a very bright light, will have a life that has a lot to do with colours and that i will follow a very spiritual path. I am to "keep my nose to the grindstone" apparently, as there is a lot more learning to be done, and if i do this, i will have a wonderful life.

i thought that was rather lovely.

it made me smile.

i dont think i have anything to update about shop and making wise.

im busy busy with custom necklaces and shoes.

though a new bat plushie and some new earmuff monsters should be up very soon.

He's a cutie!

I still don't quite know what to make of Folksy.

i've had one sale thus far.

maybe im better off sticking with etsy?

i also think im going to start up doing custom earmuffs.

other things apart from monsters i mean.

i have one person who's going to order some lemon ones. how cute!!!

i'd love some more though. custom things are so fun!!

NEW THINGS!

lots of new things in my shops now.

ah, its good to have a camera again.

so here's a photo overload!!!

what do you think?

Mitten Monsters

Monster phone or mp3 case

pocket palm pal - Stratus

halloween earmuff bats!

lots and lots and lots of goodies!!!

i like being productive. it makes me smile!

i really fancy doing an trade with someone or something. 

anyone fancy it?

i like the idea of it.

like being pen-pals, but even more exciting!

i love getting things in the post, it cheers me up for the rest of the day =]

After blogging about emmaklingbeil she was super lovely-jubley and completely made my day by telling me that she was going to send me a free print of one of her works!!!

how nice is that?!

as soon as i get it, im going straight out to get a lovely frame and giving it pride of place in my room!

perfect!

spotlight on....

emmaklingbeil

"These are all my original creations...odd little creature's daily lives and desires...strange places in time - in childhood - where you know you've seen a monster behind the shower curtain, or your pet cat talked for a split second, then, after time it becomes a dream. "

i am absolutely in love with emmaklingbeil's work.

completely and utterly.

i love how they have a childlike look to them with an almost adult theme and feeling.

they are superb and stunning.

its like she has reached into mind and put my daydreams down on paper.

i would do anything to own one of her prints.

but unfortunately i only have £15 to my name

ah, the joys of being an art student *sigh*

someone buy me one?

i think i would pretty much sell my own mother for one of her original paintings!

THIS is how in love i am.

go visit her etsy shop HERE so you can all fall in love too.

she really is truly talented!

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!
