New Printer!

Decided to make a business investment and bought myself a laser printer. Just got it in the mail and the box is TERRIFYINGLY enourmous. I had my boyfriend take a picture but it just doesn't do it justice. Also, my dog Winston is an absolute camera whore. xD

I'm pretty excited about a new printer. My current inkjet is getting worse and worse, but this new printer will be great for helping me with making my jewelry, plus printing for pins, and even making labels for my boyfriend's homebrewed beer and cider. :D

Back from Knightrokon~

Got back from Knightrokon last night (which was awesome, since I literally live less than 5 minutes from it, so we didn't have to go far). It was a LOT of fun, and we got to meet some really nice new people (and see awesome people we've met before again!). We were kept super busy the whole time, and I need to make sure to spend a good amount of time stocking up again before Khaotic Kon. I'm now completely out of first aid kits, which I'll be redoing by getting fabric professionally printed (couldn't do this all week because my computer has been out of commission D:), and only have one Aperture Science case left, so I'll need to somehow set aside some time from making a bajillion hoodie orders to restock. xD

New products will be coming to the shop soon. After the con last night, I made a bunch of buttons with our professional button maker so that I can now sell some of my designs in the shop: Mass Effect and Skyrim:

I will be taking some time soon to get some pictures taken with them, so they'll be up in My Shop soon enough. Also to come soon are shark hats and cowls, Mass Effect earrings, and deluxe My Little Pony lanyards!

P.S. Keep an eye on the blog, I plan on putting up a promotion soon~

Tofu Hair Clips!

Made some new Tofu hair clips and they turned out looking SUPER CUTE!  I've been thinking of a way to make a Tofu that sits on your head for a while but I got stuck trying to figure out how to do it with a headband (which was just way more trouble than it was worth).  Luckily it finally clicked that I could use a hair clip attached to their butts to make it work!  I'm really excited to make more of these for Khaoticon in April but I will have a few available at Knightrokon tomorrow~

Permie Pie Plush and Tofu on ebay

I'm getting down to the final two plushies I have made with this pattern!  I'm looking to revise it soon or do something a bit different from the full sized plushies so she is the last of her kind and the only Pinkie I made with the actual felt eyes.  With that note my Pinkie Permie Pie plush is now on ebay along with a Pinkie Pie Tofu hanger!  This is also the last batch of MLP Tofu hangers I'm going to make unless someone requests one as I'm moving to a new design for them! 

The colors are a bit off but it was way too windy

outside to take another picture!

I really love how her mane turned out and it's really super soft because of the yarn I used.  It's just a lot of fun to mess with her mane X3  If you'd like to bid on her the link is below~

WiP: Derpy and Dash

I feel bad not updating the blog frequently so Imma post some work in progress shots of the new MLP Tofus!  Derpy is almost done just have to do the face and cutie mark and Dash is still in progress of figuring out the pattern. Rainbow hair is a pain though I do like how her tail turned out.

I'm slowly working on the mane six and hope to have most of them done for the next couple conventions coming up!  Now back to working on Dash and waiting for my new figures to get here, they're taking forever to arrive.

New Pokemon Tofus!

Last month I made a new type of Tofu that I'm currently calling "standie."  I really loved how they turned out so I sketched up a couple new designs and made a few!  I'm hoping to convert some of the older Tofus to this style (Kyubey and MLP) and make some new designs for the upcoming convention season this summer so keep an eye out!  For now here are the new ones!

Plusle and Minun, they have magnets in their cheeks!

Pikachu!

Mudkips, I heard you liked them!

Meowth!

  

New My Little Pony Lanyards and Necklaces

Have got around to making some new My Little Pony necklaces and lanyards. I still have a few more to do (Trixie and Dr. Hooves), which I'll eventually get to. :P

I've also started the (rather tedious) process of adding stuff onto Ebay. I want to eventually get everything on there, but since it's a colossal pain in the butt and I try to limit how much time I spend working on the computer a day so I can better focus on crafting, it'll be a while before I get it all on there lol. For now I just have the deluxe necklaces:

and my lanyards:

Lanyards on Ebay

I tend to prefer selling on Etsy just because it looks nicer, but I do like Ebay because there's a lot more traffic on there, and it allows me to sell variations of my items and to organize my info easily.

I'm really pleased with how my vectors came out with the new cutie marks. I made the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the Wonderbolts, the Shadowbolts, Octavia, and Big Mac.

And I of course still have my full sets of Lanyards and Necklaces, now with more possibilities since I have more ponies to choose from:. : )

Alrighty, now back to getting ready for Orlando Anime Day, this Saturday!
