Easy Peasey!

I'm sorry I sound like a big advertisement lately. I'm working on a couple of posts about the children and their activities. And I've also caught one heck of a cold, so I'm pretty spacey right now too.

I promise I won't turn into an all advertisement blog. Unless I find really cool deals I want to share.

San Diego Comic Con!

I'd love to say I were going to SDCC, but sadly it's not in the cards for me this year, or likely ever, because children and cross-country travel. But my little dolls will be making the trip! Yay!

Each year, Cindy Wang, of Geeky Hooker, drops her darling creations around the convention center, leaving hints on her twitter feed where they are located and the person who gets there first gets to keep the doll.

I emailed Cindy and asked if she would be willing to drop a few of my dolls and she graciously agreed! So the nine dolls in the photo above will hiding out in San Diego!

If you'd like to follow along with the fun, please be sure to follow Geeky Hooker on Twitter or Facebook. I will also be sharing all of her posts on my own Twitter account.

Now, let's be real. If you're unlucky enough to not be going to an amazing convention or just really unlucky with winning things like I am, you can always contact me about a custom doll. I love remaking designs. My shop is currently a little light in dolls due to preparations for a DC convention I will be attending in August. So please, don't be shy! I love to make dolls which will make others smile.

Radishes and Turnips on my mind!

It all started with our garden, excitedly watching those radish seeds sprout and grow. It started something silly in my mind, which I couldn't shake and so, I present you with the Radish Queen and her childhood friend, the Turnip King, surrounded by their adoring subjects. These dolls have arrived at my shop.

It's good to have a bit of silliness, especially with current situations in our household.

We're looking at the day The Dude will be laid off and it's only a few weeks away, with no job prospects in sight. Ugh! I'm trying hard not to let it get me down, especially because the children pick up on the negative emotions so quickly, but I'm a little terrified.

We have a homeschool convention to attend next week and I'm rubbing my pennies together trying to decide if I can afford to buy curriculum materials or hold off, in case we have a few months of complete unemployment. Sorry for dumping a bit of stress, but it's hard to stay positive every day. Don't worry, I won't give up. I'm just having a bit of a bobble while trying to keep our heads above the surface.

My First Ever Enamel Pins!

My friend, Katie, encouraged me to design my own enamel pin a few months ago. Now, I'm not really a pen and paper kinda artist. Ask me to make something out of yarn, and I can do it! But draw a picture and it's so hard. So hard!

Anyway, after so many redraws I finally was happy with my picture. And even then, Katie graciously offered to fixed a few wobbly lines and slightly off kilter eyes for me so I wouldn't have to redraw everything from scratch. (Thank you, Katie!)

And here it is!

It's the White Rabbit from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This design is based off of one of my sketches for my Moon Buns. I even made the actual doll the pin is based on available for those who may want both!

These are now available at my shop!

Miniature Bonsai

Here's a direct plug for my products. Again, you don't have to worry about too many of these sorts of posts, only when I have something new to share.

These are my miniature bonsai trees. They range from 3.25" - 4.75" tall. Each one is hand crocheted out of wool yarns and a one-of-a-kind piece. They are available now at Moon's Creations.

Thanks for listening to my sales plug! We'll be back to family madness tomorrow.
