Up next in the series...

Hello!

Second post in two days, aren't you lucky? Yeah, that's because I won't have time to post anything for the next week. Sorry. Not really, you get a post today don't you? Live for the moment...

Up next in the never ending series of exchanged gifts this holiday season, we have the gift that I made for my mom!

This is the same pattern as the gift I gave to Addie. It's not meant to be a pencil case this time though, more of a little pouch for knitting stuff, like markers and notebooks. 

Little touch of liberty there...

Oh, something else...

These little macaroons are from a wonderful Etsy shop that you can (and should) see by clicking here. 

So there you go, the Christmas present to my mom using one of her patterns!

And to add to the Etsy news from last post, I will be making more of these pouches and posting them in my shop quite soon, so get excited!

See you in a bit!

First update, first excuses

Hello!

As you may have noticed, I haven't posted anything since last year (I like bad jokes, haven't we established that already?). That is because, and I'm sure many of you can relate, I have been insanely busy for the last week. I have been on a constant school, theatre, homework and work on Mondays and Thursdays schedule.

In addition and because of how busy I have been, when I get home, the sun is nearly set and I usually don't have the time or the light to take pictures of things. As much as I enjoyed my light box, I like the look of "normal" pictures with natural lighting.

I think I should mention that my cats - as was inevitable and predictable - have destroyed my light box and it is no longer usable. If I make a new one, it will be out of wood and fabric, not cardboard and paper. It was good while it lasted though.

To make up for the lack of pictures/posts in the last two weeks, here are some pictures of a really cute lemur that I custom made for a family member back in November. Considering I completely improvised the pattern, I think I did okay.

Since this post is basically turning into a mess of nonsense and random facts, here is another.

If you have been on my Etsy recently, you will see that my stocks are severely depleted. By which I mean, I have all of one thing there at the moment. There is a valid reason for this. Actually, two valid reasons.

a) I didn't actually expect anyone to buy anything. I mean, I was hoping people would, but it seemed like a far-fetched idea. But apparently people did buy stuff and now I have nothing there. So thank you very much if you're one of the people who bought something. I hope it fulfilled all your stuffed animal dreams!

b) I have run out of some supplies. Plain as that. I will be restocking... eventually. Hopefully.

Yes.

So anyway, if you're here from my Etsy, and especially if you're one of the many people who has favorited my Otterbatch (thanks for that by the way) I will be making more, have no fear. They will be back up for purchase soon!

That's it, I believe, for the 2014 updates.

See you next time!
