a VERY overdue post

Hi everyone!

Sorry i have been neglectful to my blog. I finished up my internship and then immediately went to the cape for my birthday and then Maine for a vacation and now am crafting up a storm for my first craft show on Saturday the 7th! As you can imagine it has been very very hectic here!

But i decided to post because i NEEDED to let you know about some of these awesome etsiers who sent in things for the truck :)

Gayle from whatshername sent cute tags and seashell magnets! Don't you love her gorgeous business cards! In her store she has great fabric goods and beautiful pressed flowers made into bookmarks and magnets! A must see :)


Buffalo Nerd sent an awesome iPod Cozy!!! I LOVE the fabric, it is so fun and fresh. She has a lot of other great cozies in her store and awesome things for the science nerd in your life! Plus she has great bags made from up-cycled goods!


Kung Fu Cowgirl sent me some AWESOME STUFF THAT I AM IN LOVE WITH!!!!! How perfect are these earrings for me! I can't wait to wear them in the truck, i just know little kids will love them :)

Also the cards and magnet calendar are sooo cute! i am going to stick the calendar in my truck! Go check out her shop! it is adorable :)


And last but not least is Ioulia!!! Can you believe how GORGEOUS that necklace and earrings are that she sent me?!?! I just know people will be asking about them and wanting their own! Plus once her cards are up on the vine i know they will catch peoples eyes! I love how professional they look and how well the pictures are done! i wish i had pics that good for my plushies :) Her jewelery is not only gorgeous but it is also affordable! Check it out today!

Well now i am off to work on some plushies for Saturday! Have a good day :)

Katamari=lump, mass, clod, cluster

Ok, so VERY exciting news!!!

I made my first sale on etsy!... well, it wasn't really a sale...i bid on making something in the alchemy section of etsy and the person chose ME! How exciting is that! She had 4 other offers and chose ME!!!

I am really wayy too happy about this!

I think the best thing is that it is something i am really excited to make! I may make a few more after i finish this one! I wish i was home right now sewing away ...

the ball is my progress so far...not bad since i started at 5 last night! i even stitched the 4th side and now need to work on the items for it! Do you see its katamari-ness??

I am most worried about making the little guy and making him look good... i want to make sure that the recipient is happy! :)

Wish me luck on an authentic katamari!

Penelope... the Post about the Girl with the Goat Legs...

This is Penelope... here is her story:

Penelope wants to go into show business. She thinks that she could be a Rockette, if only her legs were a little bit longer. Sometimes she hangs from the tree branch outside her room and has her little sister hang from her ankles to see if she can stretch her legs out. Penelope thinks her name is too boring to be the name of a world wide sensation so she has asked her family and teachers to pronounce her name peen-a-lope, not pen-el-opi. Sometimes the kids at school laugh and say Peen-a-lope sounds weird but she ignores them because everyone who is famous is misunderstood.

Penelope is my baby in a way since she was my first plushie in a loooong time, and my first one up for adoption. I keep thinking i should unlist her and keep her because her face makes me so happy, but then i realize she would waste away on my couch, and to be honest she deserves better... she deserves more love. But i do make fun of her...and her little goat legs :)
