<br />
Karen is in a contest to be able to paint her work on a picnic table in Springfield, MA! If you use facebook, head on over and hit the like button, the artist with the most likes gets a $1000 stipend to paint the table! Her design is going to involve a search and find type of game with a key of which animals are in the picture to look for, so it will be a fun interactive work of art!<br />

Honestly, I was a little late on the posting about this because I was busy moving, but it doesn't make me any less excited about it!<br />

I say a little because there is quite a list still going for the Glitch butler plushies. For those that don't know what those are, here is a quick update on that:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Glitch was a game that I (Monica) really loved to play, sadly, it closed down the beginning of December and I received permission to create some plush dolls(? not sure what else to call them lol) that resemble the house butlers from the game. Here are pictures of some I've made so far:</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each is completely unique, as there are probably more than 8 choices for each body part. So each is a custom worked piece where I hand paint the fabric before sewing them together, then there is tons of hand sewing on details, even needle felting and crochet on some of the details. It's been really great to work on them, and I have a list so long for orders right now I'm going to be busy for the next two months! Crazy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On top of that my fiance and I are talking with some friends about opening a store (that is completely unrelated from the online shops we sell in) where I would be running the cafe portion. I've always loved the idea of running a cafe, but part of me worries if my crafting will have to take a back burner- which I really don't want to happen.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Which brings me to my reason for writing today. I've felt like this for quite a while and wonder if sometimes other full-time crafters feel the same way. I chat with friends about working, or am introduced to someone new and explain to them what I do and I get the reaction from them that they think I really don't actually work. When in reality I end up spending anywhere from 5-7 hours each day working (usually with only 2-3 days off a month). I'm either taking care of household work, or I'm crafting for the online shop, there isn't much time for anything else. Yet for some reason people who aren't really into crafting think that I just sit around and do nothing all day. Why is that? Do others that craft get this from people they know and meet too? Maybe I'm just not really explaining well enough what I do? It's pretty frustrating. I do tend to be sparse with details, especially if I know the person I'm talking to insot into crafting (I figure I will bore them to death). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And now knowing that in just a few months I could be running a cafe full time, what happens if I'm forced to choose between crafting and the cafe. Ugh. Not a choice I ever want to make. I hope I will be able to find a good balance between the two.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyways- back to talking about the online shop. Hopefully there will be some cute little crochet things popping up. I really want to find some time between the plushies to crochet on a more regular basis. Not that I don't love making the plushies, but I've found that I miss being able to crochet on a regular basis a lot. I'm also considering making other kinds of plush critters with the technique I've been using for the butlers. It really opens up a lot of options for design.</span></div>

Kind of frustrating. I'm not sure if I am going to try and go back and fix them all or not.<br />
<br />
But- in other news- I'm going to be trying out <a href="http://www.zibbet.com/CopachFlur" target="_blank">Zibbet</a>. It says that it has a free user level, so I will be giving it a go and adding some things to my shop shortly. Personally, I decided to give this a go because I'm a little frustrated with Etsy's lack of advertising. And while I have read that Zibbet requires even more self-promotion than Etsy, I figure that it's just yet another place to put my work, the more the merrier.<br />
<br />
New things for my Etsy shop include:<br />
<br />
A soft and fuzzy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/102489576/crochet-baby-blanket" target="_blank">crochet baby size blanket</a>:<br />

I'm a bad blogger, what can I say. I have hopes and set goals to post regularly, and then they slip away. I haven't completely forgotten about posting, so I'll do a quick summary of what's been going on :)<br />
<br />
Biggest news: I've been learning to crochet! If you want to learn too, I highly suggest this online crochet school. It's very well put together and I was able to learn very quickly! It's exciting and fun :D<br />

<br />
There's plenty of pink and purple ones also :)<br />
<br />
I also put up a couple spring/easter type of items also, so take a look around while you're there!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827568814778397407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734719443424845015.post-33565820866929990062011-11-17T17:46:00.001-07:002011-11-17T17:47:23.311-07:00The First Christmas Item!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's the very first Christmas item that I have put into my shop:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Seems he put on a few in the off-season this year, and he'd like to just hang out with you for the holidays instead of traveling the world this Christmas Eve. He sits about 3 inches tall, and has tiny little antlers. I used just a little bit of glitter fiber for his nose, so it's just the slightest bit sparkly!<br />
<br />
I wanted to also let everyone know that pretty much any of my needle felted items can be made into Christmas tree ornaments. I can add a little embroidery floss loop to hang them with for no extra charge! Get your cute needle felted fix over the holidays by having them as ornaments. And after the holidays if you love them too much to pack them back up, but don't want the hangers left on them, you can just snip the floss and they can reside on your shelf or desk year round!<br />
<br />
There will be plenty more holiday creations to choose from soon. Including some red and green acorns!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827568814778397407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734719443424845015.post-32080619810107045182011-10-09T17:32:00.000-06:002012-09-10T22:16:50.355-06:00Get ready for Christmas!If you're looking for a fun way to count down the days to Christmas, check out my mom's Etsy shop!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/83254304/count-down-to-christmas">Santa Advent Calendars</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
They're fun and easy to use for you or your children! Santa is painted on nice sturdy poster board, and each day is written on a piece of double sided tape. All you do is peel off the number for the day it is and then stick a cotton ball to it to count down to Christmas! It comes with all the cotton balls needed, and even a nice little ribbon to hang it up with.<br />
<br />
You could use it two different way too:<br />
<br />
Start at 1 and go by the calendar to count up to the 25th,<br />
or start at the 25th and count down to 1 showing how many days until Christmas!<br />
<br />
You choose which way to celebrate and have fun using it :D<br />
<br />
They make a great early gift too!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827568814778397407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734719443424845015.post-59087841684491551802011-09-23T17:12:00.000-06:002012-09-10T22:17:13.342-06:00Acorns And More AcornsSo I know it's been a little bit since I last posted. I've had a lot going on, some good things, some... not so good. But I'm back now and I've got acorns and acorns and acorns to show you lol! There will probably be even more acorns in a few more days :)<br />

</div>
<br />
I'm sure there will be a couple more sets of acorns to come. Probably a blue set, and maybe a pink one Valentines, and possibly a spring colors set in the future. They're fun to make, and I think they look really cute with a real acorn top glued to them. It adds a fun natural look to.... anything! Put them in a jar, a dish, or just on a table or shelf.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827568814778397407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734719443424845015.post-89449297351411374372011-09-09T14:39:00.000-06:002012-09-10T22:17:30.946-06:00Fall and Halloween ContinuedHere's some more of the fall and halloween line for this year:<br />

There may be a few Thanksgiving things coming up in the near future, and then it's onto..... *gasp* Christmas. I know, it seems early for Christmas, but seeing as listings last for 4 months, and some people get going early on figuring out new decorations, or might even be using some items for crafts, gotta get going asap!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827568814778397407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734719443424845015.post-51617677479995981022011-09-04T15:56:00.001-06:002012-09-10T22:17:47.017-06:00An Art From Our House Feature :)Since I've been pretty busy and don't have much to offer in the way of new things, I thought I'd do a quick feature of some of my mom's items in her shop: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtFromOurHouse">Art From Our House</a><br />

Soon I'm hoping to finish up some fall skinny scarves (more for looks than warmth), and there's a harvest stumpwork embroidery in the works, but with orders and life it's taking a little longer than expected. Maybe some sneak peeks of it soon :)<br />
<br />
Also, for those interested, there will be a step-by-step of sorts of needle felting soon. It would have been up with or nearer this post, but I kept forgetting to take pictures while working. It's funny how it's so easy to get caught up and go too far, and there's really no going back with needle felting lol.<br />

I've made a couple sales and have been thinking of more ways to get the word out, and this seems like a good way to (and also a way that I already understand the ins and outs of using). So here it is!<br />

I'll be posting the happenings of what is new to the shop, things that maybe have fallen down in the listing and maybe need some notice, or what is going on in general with me and the shop. I would expect weekly postings, as I don't always have activity every single day.<br />
<br />
Some other places that I might talk about are my mom's Etsy shop:<br />

and her blog:<br />
